September 12, 2025 In da Clubs

 


This is another one of those deals in which we ask ourselves, Where do they get it?  or Where does it come from?  Never in a million years would I, as a teenager, joined a sports team full of strangers that all speak a different language.  These two, like their big sister before them, have joined local soccer (Fußball) clubs.  It's been fun to see some of their practices, watch games and learn sports culture in our new home.  Pardon the pun but it's a whole new ballgame over here.

August 19, 2025 Quickshot: "I want you to stay."

Move-in Day sounds so innoculous but goodness it packs quite a whallop.  To be completely transparent, we are not fans.  Sure we're over the moon for #M's exciting, new chapter, for the opportunity to flex new muscles, for independence and new friends and new experiences and all the things but dadgummit, we're gonna miss that girl.  The flight back across the Atlantic tomorrow will be tough and that shocking (really) sentence will continue to ring in our ears.  "I want you to stay."  Oh if we could have baby girl.  Oh if we could have.  But here we are, following separate callings.  God is in those sad moments as well as the joyful ones.  We are so proud!  But Christmas break can't get here fast enough!
