week 19 :: a beautifully mundane and ordinary week of emails, meetings, catching up on laundry, long walks, needed phone calls and continuing to find how and where we fit into this new landscape of our life.
week 20 :: a week free of school for the kiddos, lots of reading in hammocks, cheering our Cubbies on to World Series victory, adventures on horseback to this old volcano crater and trips to camp to celebrate 50 years of youth ministry in Ecuador.
week 21 :: back to school realities, Chris doing a lot of Christian Ethics lecture prep, airport runs, mentorship meeting, anxiously awaiting the arrival of Ralph, grieving for our home country and friends that we love who are now living in more fear and uncertainty and doing our best to be ambassadors of a kingdom that is peace and inclusion and hope where we find ourselves.
week 22 :: reminders that community is slowly and surely being built in our everyday, Chris off to teach in Santo Domingo, honest conversations, ever changing plans and gratitude for this little one entering the world and making our circle of friends that are family a little bigger.
