Change
Change...a word that describes my life all too well, almost day-to-day! Right now our "schedule" has been home a week (when I say "home" I am still referring to my friend's house in Meshobra that we are living in until a house in the area we want to live becomes open, which means we are still living out of boxes and will be until around October), and gone a week. We have been on great trips seeing new friends who plan on moving to our area in a year. Right now they are in language school so we are just trying to encourage them, ect.
Wyatt is so much fun these days and Indians spoil him rotten as always. He loves going to our friends' houses and never seems too uncomfortable. He eats at the table with a spoon and fork by himself, he tries to put on his clothes, he still loves ball and is now really into books and coloring, he loves his brother and can't get enough of him. We are almost over the bottle. He loves juice these days and can't get enough of it. He is a big helper and loves to "cook" with us. We let him sit on the counter with his mixing bowls full of random things like rice, flour, water, ect. and he has a ball. We have a routine at night where we read 2 books, the bible, then sing a silly song and a worship song, then pray and tell everyone goodnight. he likes to pray by himself. It brings tears to your eyes.
Tate is talking all the time (bah, bah, bah), sitting up, and laughing so much. He loves to be kissed! He still sleeps great and has two teeth on the bottom. I thought he was going to be my chilled baby but these days he is moving like crazy. We will see.
The Lord has been working and convicting my heart to live a life and teach my boys to live a life of giving. So today we are packing some of our cold weather clothes and taking them to some kids that really need them. How excessive we tend to be! My kids have 2 winter coats a piece while the kids down the road have thin shirts on that will hardly keep them warm. So Lord, forgive me for my greed and break my heart to meet needs around me. How dare I as a believer fail to take care of those the Lord created? May they understand a God who loves them so much more than I can.
Please continue to bear with us as we have internet that is similar to dial up at the moment! I am dying to post some new pictures, but it will take time. Love you all and thanks so much for keeping up!

Been a while
Whew! what a whirlwind our life has been! Here is a quick highlight of our life:
Early Dec.- moved out of our home and in with Linda Sue for a few days while we get ready to head home
Dec. 14- fly home for Levi's cousin's wedding and Lindsey's birthday
Christmas- awesome time going back and forth with family and friends
January 19- sweet Tate was born and w stayed in the hospital for 4 days because Lindsey had a c-sect. and then had a spinal headache and had to get a blood patch (pretty rough)
-A few more weeks with Lindsey's family while Tate grew stronger and when he was 4 weeks old we headed to Levi's house for 5-6 weeks. Then we spent the rest of the time traveling back and forth between houses and speaking at churches.
What I won't forget about this trip home:
*It took Wyatt a full month to get used to riding in a carseat. He would cry so hard he threw up for that whole first month. I thought we would never get past that!
*We have been staying with our families and it has been wonderful and hard. A great bonding time, but I definitely feel like we are still in India and it makes me appreciate what joint families go through all the more.
* Tate spent many nights screaming with gas. I feel that everything the family missed with Wyatt, they have experienced with Tate. His newborn stage was exactly like Wyatt's was so it has been neat and hard to relive it!
*We have been sick since arriving in America! Craziness!
*I was overwhelmed with the amount of stuff in America and I still am. I somehow feel like I "need" everything in Wal-Mart and don't get me started on Target! America, the land of materialism, can really get my focus off of the main thing
*I had to leave big stores after about 10 minutes for the first few weeks. I would get overwhelmed so easily!
*On the way home from India, Wyatt would not sleep and Levi and I were exhausted so the airline stewardesses took Wyatt for a couple of hours so we could sleep. The fed him yogurt, the played with him, and walked him around. It was awesome.
I'm sure there are so many other things to write about. We have a couple of months left here in America and I will try to keep a better update on our life.
