Our Yang Ming Container full of our stuff finally arrives!
Learning to mow the yard with an extension cord??? 
Oliva had the first birthday in Budapest (her 14th)
We found TGIFridays early in our tenure! (Big cokes WITH refills!!) 
Learning about Budapest (Nice hair, Mom!)Yesterday marked 2 months until we leave Budapest for an extended stay in the states. Well, actually, it's the 3 ladies of the family (four ladies if you count Tessa!) that leave on May 8th for the states. Curt will stay a few more days in Hungary and wrap things up with the house and other logistics.
So, we recognize that we're in the stage of "last things" to do and experience. And that stage has been harder than we thought. The four of us went out to dinner a couple of nights ago and had some interesting table conversation. We talked about the TOP 3 things we would miss the most about Hungary and the TOP 3 things we would NOT miss about Hungary. What was the best "high point" of our 4 year stay? What was the worst "low point" of our time here? And we all came to the conclusion that we were going to really miss being in Budapest and in this part of the world. Amazing! Who would have thought we would have felt that way as we prepare to leave? But it did encourage and remind us that it could have only been God that worked all that out and made this place our home. We celebrate Him and marvel at His Work in us!

Talking about these things made us fill very nolstagic so we decided to post some pictures from our first weeks in Budapest. Laugh away!
