Home again Home again

yesterday Chantal & Ian were released from the hospital. we had to do a little bit of running around before we made it home. once we finally got through the doors of our house it felt like a 100 lb were off our shoulders. though with all this relief it seemed like we didnt have enough time to get settled in before it was bed time. before we knew it the time had slipped to 2130 and Ian still had not been put to bed. well i think that this was a mistake on our part. because it took me several hours before he finally went to sleep good. that lasted about 45 minutes before he was up again. this kind of thing went on all night long. no worries though we all got to sleep a little bit. then (as i am sure all babies do) as the son came up Ian thought it would be a great idea to go right to sleep.... :-)... i guess that this kind of thing is what i have to look forward to.... and so far i am loving every minute of it!

once i got my sleepy butt out of bed i was off to take care of our overwhelming paper work. as i was on my way and had a semi grip on what i needed to do things started going pretty well. when i got to every place that i needed to be the people were really helpful and made it really clear as to what i needed to do next. (this is a HUGE deal when your stationed here at Ramstein AB). by the time i got home i had almost completed everything that can be done with exception of the Passport. speaking of the Passport please keep praying about that. they told me that the soonest they could get us in was 27 Sept 10. that is just to far out for us to get everything sent off and for everything to come back. we have to have Ian's Passport before Nov because we are leaving for South Africa to see Oupa and Ouma Coetzee. so please keep this paperwork issue in your prayers.

now that i have my whole family (Chantal, Ian, and the two girls) in the house it feels good. i feel that this "family" man thing is what i was made for. i am loving every minute of this. i cant thank God enough for giving me a wonderful family that is perfectly healthy. i know that what He has given me is a blessing and that things could be much, much worse. so again i thank God for all that He has done for me and has given me.
