10 days to go..where did the time go!!

I can't believe that in 10 days I will be sleeping in my bed, with my comfy pillow and comfy sheets, and comfy blanket (our bed here is very uncomfortable).
10 more days until Joseph gets to go to the bunkbed house (as he calls it)! He's very excited. Matthew will be wondering where we are but will hopefully gets used to his surroundings quickly. I can't wait for him to sleep in his crib again...although we have to lower it a lot since his stand up and when we left he wasn't even rolling over yet. I can't believe how much he has changed since we left from not rolling over yet to now walking.
I can't wait to see everyone...family and friends....have thanksgiving dinner at my parents house, have Matthew's b-day with everyone back home, have Christmas with all the family, have New Years at Matt and Vash's (can't wait to see you Vash), see our neighbour Agnes and see her face when she sees how much Matthew and Joseph have changed. Spend time with Micheal Burns and the Belcastros,(Bethany and Brittany you need to tell me when you'll be home so we can hang out..and go shopping!!!!) and see all our friends and family. I miss all of you!!!
I am not looking forward to packing but as it looks now we will be coming back to India...yes you read correctly..We are coming back!!! ( for maybe a year) We will probably come back in Feb sometime after Joseph's 4th b-day. So we will have a lot of work to do when we come back, renting our place and packing up all our stuff.
Please continue to pray for our remaining time here and our trip back home...back home ..sounds so good to hear!! Although the only possible way that we can peacefully come back here is because of the wonderful people God has put in our lives here...so thank you for praying for our time here ...He has answered all of your prayers, by keeping each one of us safe!

Farm Living

I am a horrible blogger...a few weekends ago we spent the weekend at a wonderful little farm with some friends of ours.
We started out early Saturday morning and arrived at the farm to be served a wonderful south indian breakfast. The house was beautiful and not a typical farmhouse...we had a cook who seemed to feed us more than we could eat. They had a great swimming pool, which Joseph and Matthew loved. Our friends were great company, they have 3 boys so ofcourse Joseph had a great time. Ofcourse with a total of 5 little boys in the house it was loud and there were a few disagreements (between the boys that is)...but they learned to work some of them out and the ones they didn't we have to intervene. BOYS!!!
The farm had dogs, chickens, tukey, roosters, sheep, a cow (that I got to milk...not all it's cracked up to be...I kind of felt like I had violated the cow..lol!!)
Well the whole farm idea came from Isaac always talking about living on a farm. So when I came across the ad in a Bangalore travel guide, I thought it was a perfect trial for us....although if farm living is really, great food cooked and served, swimming and chilln' by the pool, leisurly walks, feeding the animals (since someone else takes care of them), picking fresh tropical fruit from the trees ...then I think I would do just fine living on a farm!!!
