Shay and the girls arrived safely in Budapest this morning. Thank you to all those that prayed for our trip to the states, for our protection and health, and for it to be a restful time. Because it really was an encouraging trip spent with family and friends. These pictures are just a few of the many we took on our trip to states! Good memories!

We're Freezing!

The weather this month in Alabama has amazed us. We just heard the weather lady on channel 48 reporting that tonight will be the 5th night this month that the North Alabama area will hit the teens. Yikes! Budapest hasn't had too many more nights like that this month. Curt is in Budapest already and he gleefully emailed us and told us that yesterday Budapest had sunny weather and almost 50 degrees. That's amazing for Budapest during this time of year. So, what gives?? What's going on with these low temps in Alabama? Well, guess we can't complain too much since we had incredibly beautiful weather in December during this state-side visit. Guess this is helping us get prepared for our return to Budapest next week. February is usually full of snow!

Happy New Year!!

Hello to faithful friends and family that check our blog!!

It has been an incredible trip back to the states for the holidays. So many wonderful memories have been created and we all have just been amazed at the relaxed time we've had. It's been of our best trips back and we're grateful to God for that. AND grateful to the many of you that went out of your way to help us feel welcomed and make our time so special.

Curt leaves tomorrow (1/18) to return to Budapest. He'll arrive on the 19th. (Yuck! a long flight!) When we booked our tickets to come for the holidays, we talked about how long we could stay and should stay. There's alot going on in Budapest and Curt, for sure, needs to get back. Not to mention that we've had a house sitter for 6 weeks and she's probably ready to get back to a normal life herself! Shay and the girls will stay for a few more days in the states and return to Budapest on the 29th. They have some more medical appointments to wrap up and then they'll start the packing up process, too. It'll be hard to leave!

Just wanted to check in with you and begin sending our thanks back to you---even before we get back to Budapest. In the coming weeks, we'll update you on our plans for the next few months. In mid-May, we are beginning our transition back to the United States for an extended stay. We want to tell you about some of those plans.

Please contact us! We would love to hear from you and hear how your 2008 has started out.
