I'm Dreaming Of A Green Christmas

Although I am not usually one to fly into wild dances of jubilation, I did engage in a small jig when I heard the news--our visa applications have made it to Brazil!! We are praying that the approval process moves along quickly, and that our visas arrive by the end of December.

We did not think we would be playing in the snow during this holiday season, but we're making the most of the cold white stuff.

George started preschool at South Side Christian on November 27. God reserved a George-shaped hole in the Tuesday/Thursday class (the last available spot), and he is loving it.

We pieced together enough Christmas stuff to decorate in proper style--a rocket-pop Christmas tree. Thanks for the tannebaum, Joe!

Finn relaxes while waiting for the visas, something Jill and I have a little more difficulty doing, but God is good and his timing is exquisite.
