Unpacking an adventure...

After about 2 weeks of very minimal internet access (plus even less time to spend online if we would have had a connection), the bloggers are back!
If there was any picture that could sum up the way we feel after the last several weeks of
packing,
goodbyes,

Although we're feeling tired and maybe even a little overwhelmed at times, it really is great to be back in the Lynden area.  And now that we're here, we'd love to see your smiling face!

We'd love to see you there! We hope to see you here too... now that we're back online and crawling out from an avalanche of emails and correspondence, we're excited to start back up with consistent blogging, facebook and tweeting.

Now let's hear from you:

1. How many email are currently in your main inbox?
2. What is your best advice for getting caught up with email and facebook when you've been away for a long time?

Thanks again for your advice, your patience and your prayers.  We're praying that God would do some excellent things around us in this time of transition from Little Rock to Lynden to Melbourne.  Aristophanes summed it up well: "Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip."
