1 Month of Glory!

We have enjoyed so many little moments the last month it is hard to believe. Patrick will be going back to school on Tuesday. We were excited to introduce Gloria to her Grandpapa and Oma this week. Look how she's grown. Happy Birthday Mike we love you!

Joy to the World!

Gloria Susan is born! We're sorry we haven't posted for so long. Here is our little joy. She is so fun to be with all day! I love watching her change through all her faces: distraught, then smile, then surprised O-shaped mouth!... We have been blessed to have both our mothers Jan and Susan come out and stay with us. They were such a HUGE help and we really miss them. Happy New Years everyone!

Bike trip? no. Southern Hemisphere? yes.

So in case you haven't figured it out yet, we are unexpectedly expecting! All plans to bike across the United States have been put on hold for now. But when God sends a baby, he also gives you a free trip to Australia! Here we are "down under" and enjoying a fast forward view of family life. We are helping Andy and Natalie Goddard (Andy is Patrick's cousin) with their five children while they are here building a DoTERRA following here in Australia. We have been here a ten days and learned heaps about our Heavenly Father's incredible creations as well as parenting.

Cortowa 2010 Bike tour, we are serious.

As the Spring approaches we are getting to the nitty gritty of the planning process. We are looking for places to crash, primarily through the mid-west of this map.

Please let us know if you know anyone or have any extraordinary ideas about staying clean and well rested.

Cheers,

Patrick and Abby
