After tearful goodbyes and two days of driving in a minivan packed to the gills - we are here in Lexington, KY! Our
welcome by neighbors and the local church community has been more than warm, and we have been beyond blessed to have Meghan McCartney with us for a few days to play with the girls, pick up breakfast and snack food and clean a very grimy kitchen before moving our dishes into it. We have a family with five boys who live right behind us (with a kitten named Mr. Weasel and a trampoline) and five other little girls who live in various houses around our cul-de-sac. After weeks of wondering where we were and how long we were going to be there, Jane is finally happy to hear us say, "Yes, THIS is our new house!"Besides the layer of "garshz" (Podhaisky word meaning "muck") which we are wiping away room by room, the house is great and will be perfect for our little family, as well as for having students and the FOCUS team over for gatherings.The stage photo is from Ann's birthday dinner at Bogart's at the Crown Plaza here in Lexington. The girls found an empty stage and were hooked. When you look at the photo of Jane, know she was singing (and often shouting) "It's a Hard Knock Life"while she scrubbed the kitchen with Meghan.
We miss you, mom and dad, Jackie, Teddy and Tony!
