We have been on the road, living out of suitcases and our
car and topper, in and out of hotels and friends/families’ homes for two months
now. We have been in 10 states, traveled
over 5,000 miles, stayed in 26 different places, we have eaten out at many restaurants
and at the homes of friends, family and at church potlucks with a few meals in
our car. We have played at countless
playgrounds (Peter is a master playground spotter), we have visited several
children’s museums, a nature reserve, a kids farm, gone bowling, we have seen a natural
bridge, played in waterfalls, went hiking, and been to a baseball game. We have had adventures indoors, outdoors, and
wherever we have found ourselves. We
have swum in hotel pools and played in outdoor splash parks. Peter has ridden and driven lots of tractors and ask to ride every one we see. We
have visited lots of thrifts stores and malls.
We have been blessed to have fellowship with lots of different churches
and with friends and family. 
We are also now active and seeing potential cases of little
ones we can potentially adopt. We are
trusting God to continue to write His story and work out the details of this
part of our story. At this point, we do
not have any answers on when and if and from where in the USA we will adopt but
we know that no matter what happens God is with us.
The days are not always easy. Peter sometimes grows weary of his car seat
and of the constant hellos and good byes.
We also sometimes grow tired of the constant change and transition. However, we are choosing to be thankful.
We have the amazing opportunity to spend this time as a
family making memories together and with our extended family and friends. We also have the blessing to share the story
of what God is doing on our Field in various churches, helping them to connect
with the larger story of what they are a part of when they support the
ministries of the Church of the Nazarene.
Our waistlines are telling us we are getting to enjoy some good food
along the way as well. :)
On June 5th, we head to Indiana for a week, then
Pittsburg, PA for a few days, then on to NC to travel the state for three
weeks. We are excited for the adventures
and memories that are ahead and thankful for adventures and memories that we
have had.
Until next time; Don’t promise something to your almost
three year old before nap time or bedtime and think he will forget about it
during his sleep. He will wake up from
his nap or in the morning and ask for it and be ready to do it.
