God is so good and He has been so good to us this holiday season!
We spent Thanksgiving on campus with our fellow workers. I was concerned that it would be a dull day but it turned out to be a wonderful day of fellowship and fun.
Of course we began the day with our favorite activity.. Ezra is getting very good at walking and can even walk with just one hand being held.
He'll be walking before we know it!

We had a VERY DELICIOUS thanksgiving lunch.. oh man.. it was so good! Especially the table of 7 different kind of pies.. :)
Ezra was a big fan of the ham!
Afterward the kids got to decorate a large Christmas tree together so I helped Ezra put on a few ornaments.

The next day we took a trip to Washington DC to share good news, experience international life (there are tons of internationals in DC!), ride the metro, and sight see.
We saw the White House, Lincoln, Washington monument, some Smithsonian museums and were able to share with several people along the way.
It was really great (and tiring) day!

SUPER EXCITING NEWS!!:
Our wonderful friends found us a great apartment in South Asia and have already made all the arrangements for us to move in early January. We had prepared ourselves for really low standards but this place is AWESOME!! I can't express how thankful we are to the Lord for providing and our friends for preparing for our arrival.
This is the living room area and the door goes out to a long balcony.
One of THREE bathrooms!! And an awesome one at that! Please note that Luke and I have never had more than one bathroom our whole marriage.. I'm quite excited for multiple bathrooms. haha
Kitchens in South Asia are usually like dungeons but this one is a dream! Those cabinets.. the windows.. the modern style blue hood.. my cup overflows!! Cooking in South Asia takes a long time so I can't express how thankful I am to the Lord for this sweet gift! They are renovating (hence the dust) and preparing it now and it'll be ready for us next month!
Also.. added bonus.. there is a small park right across the street for us to play with Ezra and meet other families.. another BIG blessing from our wonderful God!!
I'm just beaming with how He has been taking care of us at every turn in this adventure.. He is SO SO good and faithful!
