Here’s Emma practicing her letters and sounds. I’m clearly biased, but I think that she’s pretty impressive! (And yes, as you’ll see in the video, I don’t know the alphabet unless I sing the alphabet song… I was just as shocked as you are!)
Happy Friday! It’s hot here, but it wouldn’t be a Greek summer without sun and heat. The heat can really be exhausting this time of year… so we move slowly. Anyhow, it’s good to be back. Ramadan begins on Monday – please pray for our Ramadan outreaches. Also, I’ll be preaching on this Sunday at… [Read more…]
Happy Friday! We’re finally getting back to speed here in Athens. It’s good to be back. However, we haven’t yet got our cameras back to speed. So, here are a few more shots from our time in the US. Enjoy!
Happy Friday! Hope everyone is well. We’re still trying to get our sleeping schedules set, but we’re glad to be back in Athina. Continuing the theme from Wednesday’s post, here are more photos from our time in the US. Enjoy!
After four weeks in the US, we arrived back in Athens on Monday. It’s good to be home! We’re getting settled back into life here. Although our time in the US was marked by grief (and thank you deeply for your prayers, encouragement, and love during this time), we also had some good times catching… [Read more…]
Happy Friday! I’ve been a bit behind on the blog over the past few weeks… but only because we’ve been busy, in a good way. We appreciate your prayers! 1 – Celebrate with us: (i) One family of Afghan believers just got asylum here in Greece (this kind of victory doesn’t happen often)! (ii) A… [Read more…]
Happy Friday! Yesterday was Kristin’s 30th birthday, so we’ve had a fun week of celebration. Her birthday present (a collaborative gift from her husband, parents, in-laws, both sisters’ families, and brother-in-law’s family) was a new camera. She’s having fun learning the contours of her new toy – a Canon Rebel. It certainly takes better pictures… [Read more…]
Here in Greece, the Season of Lent begins on a Monday, not a Wednesday. Today is that Monday - “Clean Monday.” Clean Monday is a day of repentance, forgiveness, and purification. Practicing Orthodox Christians will avoid meat, eggs, dairy products, and most fish from now until Easter. So, as Lent begins, Greeks here celebrate with… [Read more…]
Happy Friday! I’ve been blessed with three amazing women in my life (among others). It’s truly amazing to see how fast the girls are growing up. Sofia is playing/learning so much every day. Her memory and vocabulary amaze me. Very verbal. Emma is running, climbing, and beginning to try her hand at words (mama, dada,… [Read more…]
Happy Friday! We’ve had an exciting week here. But I’m running late for our Friday Photos post, so I’ll save my ramblings for Monday’s post. Without any further ado, here are some snapshots from our week here. Enjoy!
Happy Friday! We’re enjoying life on this side of the world. The ministry is exciting and fruitful. Our family is beautiful and growing (no, we’re not pregnant; I mean that the girls are growing… and so quickly!). God’s grace continues to sustain us. Enjoy some photos from our week here. Noula Boula Rock’n the big… [Read more…]
Happy Friday! We didn’t snap any new photos this week… so I guess that means it’s time for a Friday Photos Flashback. Here are a couple of photos from January of 2009 and a couple of shots from January of 2011. Really, I don’t think Kristin ages (amazing… but that’s the least of her superhero-like… [Read more…]
Happy Friday! We celebrated Emma’s first birthday this week. It’s hard to believe that she’s already one… or that Sofia will be three next month! Here are some pictures from the festivities. Enjoy!
Yesterday was a day of celebration for our family: my birthday, Halloween, Reformation Day, race day, and weigh-in day. Wow! 1 – Back in April I made a commitment: lose 30 pounds by my 30th birthday. I’m happy to report that I made my goal! After our furlough in the US (aka, Candyland), I was… [Read more…]
Happy Friday! We’ve had a very nice, Fallish week here. I love fall. Also said goodbye to my mom. Thanks for the visit! Here are some pics from our week. Enjoy!
