Thank You

It's our first Thanksgiving on Guam, and although we may be separated from our loved ones back in the States, God has given us more than enough reasons to celebrate this holiday with grateful hearts. At the top of the list, He has been gracious in actually leading us to build new relationships with dear friends and relatives here on the island... which means we have some awesome food and fellowship to look forward to later today!

Our most recent blessings include a smooth transition into me going back to work and Max starting daycare, surviving another birthday, and acquiring an additional form of transportation. I'll have to expand more on the work/daycare experience later (maybe after we get some heavy-duty cooking done!).

"O taste and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in Him."
-- Psalm 34:8 (KJV)

Maxwell's just as excited as Mom is about her birthday silicone baking pans!


Mike's new macho car... in classic "Military Green"

We pray your hearts would be filled with joy and laughter as we praise God for His gifts of love.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Hey, you three! =) Looks like you're loving life over there! It brings joy to our hearts to see your joy! You were missed at Thanksgiving, and were definitely in our thoughts! Even from a distance, though, we are blessed to hear what God is doing in your lives: the little reminders He's given of His care, the big ways He's showering you with abundance, the smiles and laughter that come so easily to you and Max. May He continue to shine through you! We love you!
