Back in NY ... Is it time to leave yet? ...






Well we have landed back on the HILL here at St. Vlads, and I must admit that we are anxious to see this term come to a close. Our sights are set on what is coming in the next few months: the birth of a thesis, the birth of our third son, and the birth of a life-long-living-out of this new clergy family.

We spent Christmas in KC with family. The theme for the year was knights and castles, and they received various accessories for both.

We got to hang out on the farm with Nana Hazel and Papa Virgil (and Nanny and Poppy were there too!), and it was unseasonably warm. The boys played outside without coats. Asher had fun tying his rope to the petrified wood in the front yard until that pesky cat wandered past (note the kitty creeping into the right side of the first "cat shot"). Then he just HAD to chase after it! He also had fun chasing the geese. Turns out he is quite "brave" according to his older brother. You see, the large gander took off after Elias and Eli bolted. Well, Asher wouldn't stand for his brother being threatened by the big bird so he decided to charge the old fellow. He chased after the gander yelling, "I'll save you Elias." To which Elias replied, "My brother Asher is very brave."

There will be more to come about our holiday adventures (I PROMISE!).

RIght now we are settling in after traveling to Kansas, North Missouri, Iowa, Tennessee and North Carolina ... WHEW!

Blessings!
