The Dickens

Hi.  We are doing well.  I know we are not posting as much now and not emailing a lot, either.  We are still very busy getting settled in our house.  There is still much to do there.  And meal prep takes a long time.  We were down to our last loaf of bread so I needed to make bread today.  We prefer this to the bread you can buy in town here.  I started back to teaching on Friday and am chasing Abigail a lot, as well.  Not to mention I have the energy level of a pregnant woman, which means getting a bit of a rest when I can.  And we can only get on the internet by coming to the school house now.  Everything is really going well.  We are great.  I am not in the least complaining.  Only trying to give you a clearer picture of our daily lives so you will get why you don't hear from us as much now.

It also seems there is a misunderstanding about children at our door begging for food.   A blind man asked for food on Christmas Eve and I happily gave him some as he cannot provide for himself and his children are too young to provide for him yet.  The children and adults that come to the door daily are those selling produce and those wanting to play with Colt (and his basketball).  There are none that come asking for food.  We are doing fine with it all.  We do have to decide/discern how to handle new situations as they arise.  But we are truly doing great.  No huge problems at all.  

I got the projector set up so Joel wants to have a movie night with his wife!  So, I'm closing now.  Thanks for your prayers.  We love hearing from you.
