Stroller still broken
 
I just got back from my second trip to the bicycle shop to fix the stroller and I had hopes our problems were solved… but they weren’t.  I was able to get on the internet this morning just long enough to send an email to the Delta claims guy here in [...]

Bless the Lord!
 
In my QT this morning I read Psalm 103:1 which says, “Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.”  As I continued through the chapter I reveled in reading of the benefits of the Lord and most specifically, how the Lord removes my [...]

John’s spanish speaking abilities put to the test
 
And now for the post you’ve all been waiting for- John and his miserable Spanish stories.  Mind you, Costa Ricans are incredibly patient with us, but I can’t imagine if someone like me moved into the neighborhood.
On Saturday, having gone to a pizza place with our [...]

No one said it would be easy
 
While we are definitely doing great here in Costa Rica, the last few days haven’t been without some difficulty.  The boys all flew amazingly well (the last flight, Elijah did get quite fussy).  Though it’s temporary, we like our new place a lot.  That said, here are [...]

We’re here!  (Even if you don’t hear much from us for a while)
 
We arrived in beautiful Costa Rica on Saturday at about 1:30pm Costa Rican time (2 hours behind Eastern daylight savings time).  I won’t post much about the airport except to say sixteen 45-50 lb bags is hard to maneuver through customs [...]

Packing Up

I only have a minute to blog, but I wanted to take advantage of the Internet connection since I spent the night at my parents house last night.
Yesterday Jenny and I made much headway with our packing (with help from Joe Joe, Mac, and Kat!).  We still have some packing to do but we have [...]

A Better Meal

(Written last Saturday but this has been my first opportunity with enough internet time to post it.)
Last night Jen and I had the opportunity to go to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse (thanks to a generous gift card from my parents). It was really fancy and really good. The steaks were great as were [...]

Three Praises and a Prayer Request

I want to thank all of you for praying for us to receive Jenny’s authenticated birth certificate from the state of Kentucky.  We praise God that He saw fit to allow it to come in time for us to get it turned in for our Visas!  We are extremely thankful for this blessing!
Also, we are [...]

I’m thankful for my wife

Jenny and I have now been married for over 8 years and I’m proud to say that I love her more today than ever.  And while I intended to write this post last week when I was freshly on the mend of my stomach bug, I, nevertheless, wanted to type this into infamy.
Over the course [...]
