We're Back

We had a wonderful time visiting our kids and grandkids and getting to know our newest granddaughter, Emma. We didn't find my passport, so I flew to New Orleans to get a new one, had a great overnight visit with Madelyn & Mike, and left from Atlanta only 3 days later than originally planned! Thanks for your prayers! We're home now and working hard to get settled in the house. Check out our progress --

Moving In

Here's Larry, carrying in the first piece of furniture and then sitting down to enjoy the great room -- for about 30 seconds!




We've been working hard, trying to get moved in before we leave for Amman & Beirut to visit our family. I'm supposed to leave tomorrow for Beirut; Larry flies to Amman on Wednesday. We realized last night that my passport is missing! Larry has his primary passport, but his 2nd passport is missing also. They're not in the place where we always keep them, and we have been going through boxes, drawers, suitcases, purses and everything else all day, trying to find them. Please pray with us that mine will turn up in time for me to get on the plane tomorrow.

Finished!

The house is finished -- except for a few little things -- and we started moving in on Friday. It's a big mess right now, but we took some pictures between the cleaning and the moving in and wanted to give you a tour of the finished product. We'll post more pictures when we get a little more settled.

Update

Right after I finished the previous post, Larry called to say that we passed the inspection! Thanks for walking with us through this and praying for us. There's still a lot of finishing up to do at the house, plus a lot of cleaning and packing to be done before Friday.
Maybe some of you haven't heard our best and most important news -- Emma Grace Cox was born yesterday to Kimberly & Jeremy at 3:00 pm EST in Amman, Jordan! I tried to post the picture they sent us, but it didn't work. We'll try again later.
