The Waiting Game

How it is that we've gone from December to March on this blog with nary a post, I'll never know. Don't panic. Much may have happened, but not much has changed. December found us in Georgia, celebrating Christmas with Jonathan's family. January was full of travel--Jono to various places in the U.S. and then to South Africa. The boys and I held down the fort in Snow Camp and then spent a week with my parents in Florida. February was, quite honestly, a blur. Though I usually think of February as the seemingly longest, often dullest month of the year, I can hardly remember this one for its busyness. It seems unreasonable to summarize three months in six sentences, so I'll list the highlights.

1. Jono spoke over 30 times in various places and settings. I'm convinced he's talked more in this past year than the previous 34 combined.
2. DISNEY WORLD!! Did I say that we went to Florida? Oh no, it was much more exciting than that. We rocked Disney for a week. G is still playing pirates. Sims, on the other hand, dubbed it Torture World. Perhaps it was not the best vacation site for a skittish 18 month old.
3. Sims started walking. Hey, better late than never. He also pretends he's a puppy dog, crawls around on all fours and barks. He may be late on the walking, but excels in imagination :)
4. Paperwork has been filed and a lawyer has been hired to get our visa for Spain!!
5. Time with loved ones. A weekend visit with my dear friend Megs and her baby girl. It was some of the most fun we've had together in 10 years. Lots of family time with parents, siblings, nieces and nephews.

As soon as our paperwork comes through, we'll get our tickets and move to Granada. It is a little crazy that the paperwork could come next week or a few months from now, leaving us in a constant state of anticipation. We are going ahead and preparing for sooner rather than later. This past week I felt the uncertainty of our situation and timing start to stress me, but we continue to trust that the timing is in God's hands. The waiting game continues...

In the meantime, for your viewing pleasure, here are some shots of our trip, my three boys, and the crazy weather changes of North Carolina. Snow one day, shorts the next.
