Cherished Friendship

This was the scene in my living room this morning. After a year and two months these two little girls were reunited. They played together like no time had passed at all. In fact Julianna is spending the night with us tonight. If you ask Kayleigh who her best friends are Julianna makes one of the top on the list. These two girls have known each other since Kayleigh was 2 months old and Julianna was 8 months old. Julianna's family came to visit us and some other friends this week after moving to another city. We are SO excited they are here and I am looking forward to some good time with my dear friend Laura.

I am pretty sure I have a very similar picture from a year ago with them all dressed up.

Zeb's First Haircut!

Before we left for Thailand I decided that I needed to break down and get Zeb's haircut. His hair was getting really long in the back to the point where it sort of looked like a mullet. My friend Kayla cut his hair and did a wonderful job. We put him in a high chair and then turned on the movie "Cars" so that he would sit still enough for her to cut it. He did a great job and didn't move too much.

The before picture.

For now we move....

Nothing has been resolved in the past two days so it looks like we will not have power. The plan for now is to move to our friends Josh and Danielle's house. They and a few other friends are out of town for most of the week and have graciously offered us their places. We and two other families plan to make the move tomorrow once they turn off our power. We have a friend that lives in our apartment complex that also owns a coffee shop in our complex as well. He has been the spokes person for all the foreigners that live here. He said it doesn't look good and there is no end in sight. He did contact the U.S. consulate and was able to talk directly with someone about our situation. They have filed a report with the government and we have also heard they are sending a representative here tomorrow. We hope this will bring good news for at least the Americans that live here. It is still not clear if the power will stay off the whole time or if they will turn it back on at night. We have many friends that live here that are going to ride out the power outage. We plan to keep in touch with them to find out what is going on. Hopefully, my next up date will have some better news. The other wives and I planned our meals for the week. We are going to try and make the best of this time by having lots of fellowship together.
