It's been a while since we blogged. Life is busy when family is over! But it's a very good kind of busy. What a great blessing it's been for us to have Tim and Elissa and their boys here. The only ones who have had a harder time are the kids...as they've learned to share everything and be around each other all the time. We've had to break up a few fights already! But as you can see, they still love each other very much!
And also as you can see, Karlyn is Lucas' little mama. She's always looking out for him as he's crawling around the floor. If he grabs anything that he's not supposed to, she is right there. And if he needs a toy or his soother, she's there with it before any of the rest of us even notice he needs it!
Yes, and here's our crazy son in the bucket...I mean, bath!
Tomorrow we are taking our two families on a 10-day holiday to Madang which is a town up the coast. So we have a 5-hour drive ahead of us. And it's not like there's Timmy's or McDonald's to stop at on the way either! Andrew and Natalie just came back from there and said the road is a little rough at spots, especially driving through the mountains (which is about two hours of the trip). We are bracing ourselves and praying that the kids will see it as an adventure! After 3 days in Madang, we'll drive to Ukarumpa, the SIL/Wycliffe Bible Translators base for PNG and spend the weekend there. We are really looking forward to getting away from Lae and our work here for a bit. There's been a lot going on lately.
Please join us in praying for safe travels. Something we never take for granted here.
May the Lord bless and keep you all, and fill you with His strength each day.

Dear Ian and Nadia and the rest of the crew,
I hope you have a really nice and relaxing time - well after the drive anyhow - and that the break is a good time to get renewed again to take up your job again. Im so glad that you have Tim and Elissa and the boys there - partly to put them to work :) but mostly for being able to share your work in a practical and face to face way.
Hugs to you all and kisses for the littlies.
Joyce and Ryan
