A New Flavor ~ Caleb and Cris Ann Update.

I am sorry that it has been so long since I have written. It has been a very busy time, a new season in our lives.

Caleb and Cris Ann have been home almost a week. The first few days they were both sick off and on. Cris Ann tired to eat what we ate but we found that she was feeling sick and was always cold. We tried to take her shopping for clothes, she came with no clothes and one pair of flimsy shoes, but she got car sick and it was difficult for her to shop. We took her to a Philippine grocery store and she smiled, laughed and danced!!! Whew...... It has taken the kids much daily focus  getting into a routine....settling in during the holiday season on top of everything. Both are making adjustments, in prayer, and enjoying each other. We have given ourselves two weeks just to celebrate, permission not think about what's next just enjoying our precious time together, time I thought just a few weeks ago we might not have.  Thanks to each of you, all your prayers and your support we are together, the kids are getting healthier each day and from a grateful heart, from our Family to Yours....Merry Christmas!!!!

    Praise God for His Faithfulness! So many firsts for Cris Ann, so many adjustments for them both and while you all are taking two weeks to celebrate and recoup God is going before you and making good plans! He will unfold them in His good timing. Rest now and enjoy each other. Merry Christmas and Love to all.
