Happy Birthday Shelby!
Our little Shelbs turned 2 today! If you would hang out w/Shelby on her 2nd birthday, you would learn that she: drinks agua, “pop”, “leche de vaca” (milk from a cow), and hot tea pretends to be a baby lion sings all of “twinkle twinkle little star” (or rather “tinkle tinkle little star”) by herself...
35 – the new 25 (or at least the new 33)
Yep, I turned 35 this week (Monday). Still just a kid. Lindsey gave me a great present in the morning by letting me sleep in as long as I wanted, while she took care of Shelby. While I was in dreamland, they decorated one of the big walls in our apt., so it would be...
we’re gonna make it!
So, it has been a little bit of a bummer missing out on normal family Thanksgiving activities, but we have had a good time w/new friends here. There is a team of missionaries (5 couples-all w/young kids, and one single guy) here from Texas, studying Spanish like us, and they are also going to Lima,...

(If you do not know what I’m talking about, please read “This Beautiful Mess: Intro” in our blog archive). I am finding this very, very difficult though. Much harder than...
this beautiful mess: intro
A while back, my counselor suggested that I write as a method of helping me process things I’ve been thinking, feeling, etc. I agreed that it would be an effective means of growth for me, but I was skeptical about the chances of me actually doing it. Writing takes a lot of effort for me...
come & listen
As you can see by the lack of posts, our blog has been getting pushed down the “to do” list. I wanted to take a second, though, and share a really cool moment we had with little Shelby right after she was born. Early in the afternoon the three of us were relaxing in the...
