I think it will hit the hardest when Josh has to travel and I’m home at night by myself, fortunately our kids are very resourceful and are working on building door barricades (just kidding).

So thankful to be moving soon. Thanks be to God!

Happy 5 Months Clara Grace

Clara

DSC_5765

DSC_5783 DSC_5782Can’t seem to keep with how fast our 5-month old is growing! Clara continues to be a joy – I just want to eat her up! She loves playing on the floor and grabbing things. She can turn around, but has yet to creep forward on her own. She now wants to sit up and play. She does pretty well sitting up, but still needs something or one to catch her, since she doesn’t have perfect balance yet.

Still Waiting for Home…

Cambodian Adventures

IMG_20160804_091345 IMG_20160804_091326Here in Cambodia we walk the path the Lord sets before us. Sometimes the way is easier than we’d planned. Sometimes it’s not at all what we’d hoped for. Our original “plan” was to move into a new home at the end of June. The adjusted “plan” was to move into our new home August 1st. It’s August 11th, we’re still in temporary one-bedroom housing, and the landlord just told us she thinks it will be another 3 weeks before we can move in. This isn’t the path we were planning on…but it’s the Lord’s path, it’s a good path…lead on O King Eternal.

Grammy and Grampy Grace in Siem Reap

DSC_5254 DSC_5245A few days before my parents left Cambodia, we took them to Angkor Wat. (The trip worked out perfectly since my parents flew out of Siem Reap at the end of our visit.) The big events were an elephant ride and exploring the temples. It was really fun watching my mom take in everything. I think she had a blast. My dad was very hesitant about riding an elephant, but once he got on, he had a great time with the kids.
