it's been a long, long year that FLEW BY

So it's almost been a year since our last post, whoops! We never claimed to be good at keeping up with this blogging thing. We do have a slightly greater motivation these days- our baby CALEB! That's right, within the last year we got pregnant and had a little boy. We came here with 3 and are now a family of 4. Yes our furry Autumn baby is of course counted as part of our integral family unit.

So in an attempt to update our family and friends back home a bit more about precious baby Caleb and how we are coping with the transition into parenthood, I'm going to try a bit harder to update this blog for everyone. Also, it is a nice way for me to keep record of my own thoughts and feelings about all the things we're experiencing here, we're learning as new parents, and we're being taught through the Holy Spirit and God's incredible grace.

First up, a thought I'd like to have written somewhere so I can look back some day and smile fondly at the naïvety. From Facebook:

It's dawning on me that I can now claim the title "stay at home mom".My mom always seemed such a wise & put together woman but I still kind of feel like a kid and fairly clueless.
I guess I'll just have to grow into this mom thing.
