There is a hierarchy when it comes to hotels…  During our short time on the mission field, we had the chance to come back for a few weeks each summer to update supporters, do some fundraising, and visit family and friends. The flight plans took us to a couple of places typically… but the most common was a stop in Miami. One time we had an extra-long layover, so instead…

It’s kind of funny… like she’s got a little baby that she carries with her everywhere… to bed, to the breakfast table, in the car, at the park… she loves little baby “booboo.” She’s about to be a big sister, so we kind of wish that was the game she was playing at all times… like helping little sister…
