My Valentines!

The men in my life... I don't think I could love them more if I tried.

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day!! I got to spend my day with this little cutie :) I missed my man though...

Flying Home

Liam really loved watching the planes as we waited to board our own. and he did great on the plane ride home, even making friends with a little girl from the netherlands. She was 7 years old and even though she couldn't speak english, loved 'taking care' of Liam. What a blessing to Matthew and I!! Liam didn't sleep on the flight home, but it wasn't nearly as stressful as our ride over... Thank you Lord :)

A month gone by...

It's hard to believe a month has gone by since we first met this amazing group of people. We have been blessed, challenged, encouraged and served by this group, and in a short month they became like a family to us. It was with sad, but thankful hearts that we said goodbye just a few days ago... We praise God for each and every one of these friends and how our lives have been impacted by them.

A Special Day.

I was here in Belgium for my birthday this year, and I also got to share it with David and Robert!! Their birthdays are just days apart from mine... we were all showered with love and singing and lots of yummy pastries. Everyone here made it a really special day and I praise God for His goodness and many blessings through them. It was truly a birthday to remember.

For those of you who have been asking!

A quick shot that matthew took for me before uploading some photos last night. I know the lighting is bad, but it still shows how big this kid is getting!! It's had to believe that we still have a month and a half of growing to do, me and the baby. We can't wait to meet this newest Chase.

Notre Dame

This was by far my favorite part of Paris, mind you we were only there for about 8 hours, I know there is so much more we could have seen. It was absolutely beautiful. It was sad to see it turned into a tourist attraction and not so much a place of worship, though we did get to be a small part of the mass. I pray that this building would be a place where people would still meet God, or maybe begin to wonder for the first time the majesty of our gracious and loving God.

More pictures to come soon. . .

Rainy day in Paris

We had a free day on monday and so matthew and I joined some others and took a trip to paris! We were blessed by two wonderful ladies who offered to watch Liam for us, and so we were able to go with no worries of how Liam would do.... and wow, were we thankful. It took us about 5 hours to get into paris and there was slushy snow on the ground with steady rain coming down. despite the weather we really did have an amazing day! We were surprised at how much we got to see in a day. I was amazed by how old and beautiful all the buildings were.... just incredible! Here are just a couple of pictures, and hopefully I'll post some more soon. Matthew really took some great shots.

Hello there!

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking in on us! Please pray for us as we begin our last week here in Belgium, that we would learn a lot and love on those who we're with.

Just Because . . .

We love this little guy so much. He's been having so much fun exploring our new home here. I had to give Liam's hair a little trim yesterday... though you can't tell much from these photos. At least his hair is out of his eyes :)
