We're Back!

Sorry it's been so long since the last blog post. As I mentioned... Mike went on a missions trip for two weeks. While he was gone for those two weeks, Lexi & I headed up to Iowa to be w/family!! It was great getting to spend time w/both sides of the family. I never imagine though, that two weeks would come and go so quickly. It seems like we hardly saw people. But the time we did get to spend with family was wonderful! I had a problem though... whenever we went anywhere, I forgot the camera. And then after the 1st week I realized that battery was dying and couldn't find the battery charger anywhere. Go figure! :( All that to say- I don't have too many pictures and most of them are from hanging out at my parent's house. The pictures I do have from the past few weeks are posted below.

The time spent w/family went quickly, yet the time away from Mike went way too slow. We missed Daddy terribly. We thought we would be able to Skype. Unfortunately the internet in Bonaire rarely worked. When it did, Lexi was either napping or in bed for the night. It was pretty hard on all 3 of us, being apart that long. Hopefully we won't have to do that for awhile now! Lexi has been pretty excited to have her dad back! She doesn't like to let him too far out of her site.

So for the past week or so, we've just been trying to get back to normal life. All of our schedules are way off. Really exciting news... Lexi's 1st tooth has popped through. You can't see the whole tooth, just the top of it. That's good news. The bad news is that we are now into full-blown teething. It's kind of miserable. I wish there was some magic way to make all her teeth just appear. I keep reminding myself that she won't remember all this. Doesn't really make me feel that much better when she's crying though.

I think that's about all the exciting news. Thank you to everyone who prayed for Mike during his missions trip & for our family. There should now be more regular posts coming your way! :)
