and we're off like a herd of turtles...

So, we are off early tomorrow morning (6:30am) on our trip to Lithuania. We met up with Angies parents at 7:30, and travel the rest of the 2 day trip together. They have a caravan and we have tents.

It's a first trip like this for us. Pray the kids make it alright and aren't too overcome by boredom

...also for crossing borders, against accidents, car trouble, etc. I have no idea what wifi availability will be, but I'll try and keep things updated here.

Oh, and last night Zofingen came over for a birthday dinner....yep, mine. I'll be turning 30 tomorrow. Since I'll be on the road, they came over early. Was a very nice evening with some very nice cards, some paper and some powerpoint.

Thanks guys!!

yes I can

We have construction going on in our kitchen, so we have a temporary setup in another room with a stove there. We put tape across the floor so the kids wouldn't come close to the stove area. Today Angie was warming up some milk and Liani (2) was down there with her. Angie told Liani, "You can't cross this line, ok?" She looked puzzled, took a few steps back, ran forward and hopped over the line and said... "see mommy, I can...."

Of course mommy went on to explain better what she meant....

Don't freeze Jesus

The other day we were having Ice Cream, and Kenneth (4) piped up with:

We shouldn't eat too much Ice cream, because it makes your body cold and Jesus is in our heart, and if we eat too much ice cream, Jesus will be frozen...

You know you're a missionary kid if...

I came across this in another blog...don't remember now where, but I googled it and compiled some of the more relevant ones. It is geared more to Americans, but most are pretty universal.

So, here goes...

You know you're a missionary kid if...

You can’t answer the question, “Where are you from?”

You speak two languages but can’t spell in either.

You flew before you could walk.

The U.S. is a foreign country.

You have a passport, but no driver’s license.

Having four distinct seasons other than: dry, very dry, rainy, very rainy, is a new experience.

You have a time zone map next to your telephone.

You would rather eat seaweed than cafeteria food.

Your life story uses the phrase “Then we went to ...” five times.
