A few more highlights

Since the real purpose of this blog is to keep our friends and family who live far away from us in touch with our lives - I thought I'd just add a few random highlights that don't quite fit in those other entries:

1) we've got an amazing place that a Philly-based organization GMRP helped set us up with- it's a two bedroom house with a top floor attic, a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer. There is an Aldi's and a Produce Junction within a mile of us (our favorite grocery stores) as well as several great friends. We're so happy about it. Also, this is the first place we've had our own kitchen for about 1.5 years :-)
2) the lady who organized our house and her husband (Carol and Bill) have been having us over for lunches before our prenatal appointments. They are so generous and kind. Among many other things- they are lending us a bassinet that most of their family used.
3) We've been speaking in churches on the weekends and that has gone really well- both churches so far have been so great- diverse congregations (like little international churches in the states) and have prayed for us. It's really been wonderful.

John informs me that it is very uncool to post so many blog entries in one day, so I"ll leave it at that :-)

Wow...what a busy blogging day. Glad you guys are doing so well. What a relief that you both have been reunited with the thrift stores. You are looking great Caitlin. Well done. I cannot believe the time is nearly here, it doesn't seem long ago that you were telling us in Bible study in Aceh that you were pregnant....March seemed a lifetime away then, and now it is nearly here! Time flies. See you guys soon on skype xxxx
