We've been preparing the boys, Isaac especially, for our move to the "new house" for sometime. Now that we are in our "hotel," the little guy is calling it a "new tell." He asked us today "Where's my bike Mommy?" And when we left the waterpark on Base after an evening with the wifia gals, he said, "Go home Daddy?" JB told him we were going to our hotel, and he said. "No, no. Go home. Our house."
Rip our heart out why don't you?
Speaking of the wifia, tonight we did all get together for, and really this time, our final hurrah. Jodi and Sarah went in together and purchased Pandora bracelets for all of us with a "W" on it for "Wifia." They are amazing. I will treasure it always.
Between saying good bye to my dear friends and my little guys seeming so confused about where we live and where there things are, I'm a bit sad.
However, I do feel a tremendous sense of relief to be out of our house and to have our "To Do" list no longer hanging over us.
Please continue to pray for our family. Pray that we adjust. Pray that our hearts are comforted. Pray for organization and smoothness in the transitions. And, if you think of it, would you pray that our condo in Minnesota finds the perfect renter or buyer? Thanks all!

I feel a relief for you too. Now you can just sit back and enjoy the ride to your new home! So to speak. I know it will be an adjustment for all of you, but to have the hardest part over is awesome!! So glad we were neighbors!!!! I'm going to say it on here so I don't have to in person. I'm going to miss you guys so much, but I KNOW that we will be life long friends, so I'm not worried! : )
aww wen, Isaac reminds me of my first born!..only i didn't really realize as fully as i would have liked, til later just how sentimental she was and things i missed, cuz she didn't express it as verbally as issac --so the good thing is that Isaac is telling you and you can comfort him!! If that was being kept inside you might not...and part of all those things we feel sad our kids go thru... is God does use them to lead and draw them to Himself in life and find His comfort and true friendship and love in the hard times...i think how beautiful my daughter is, and how many moves she went thru with her sensitive spirit...i wish i could do some things over and have spared her more...and yet she's let God make her into such a beautiful woman despite and because of those very things...i think there are some things she'd change but not having had a life overseas...(maybe a few of the moves could have gone better)...we learn as moms that we can't control everything, and also that we can't make life perfect for our kids -doggone! and will fail at times....but there's a perfect God for us all who is in the midst of this all --He has both a mother and father heart towards us. Wants us to know Him as loving us like a mother hen pulling her chicks under her wings in the storms...and as a tender compassionate dad....Your kids are experiencing some of God's love thru you and Jon thru this hard circumstance hon! And i'm praying for your heart and emotions in all this... love and prayers Tante Jan
