Hello everyone!
Wow, it has been a long time since we last posted... anyway, we are still in the states, not really settled down and wishing we were back in Honduras. Fund raising has taken a lot longer than we thought it would, so we are psudeo-settling in Hampton Roads, Virginia. We are getting involved with refugee and immigration services in Hampton, and we'll be teaching English classes two nights a week soon:) Becky has just started a temporary job at H&R Block that will take her through the end of April. I am looking for a job as well.

We got to spend New Years with Dave and Megan! They live right in between here and my parents (how cool is God?).
Megan and Dave sang at their church that Sunday. Look at how pregnant Megan is!!
I think Adriana and Andrew are some of the cutest kids ever! Here, Adriana jumps up and down.
Andrew rides in the shopping cart.
We got to take Becky's cousin Alex out for his birthday, everyone loves the petting zoo!
Becky feeds some already fat goats
Ringtailed lemurs! Too bad we couldn't pet them too...
Alex watches the lemur- or is the lemur watching Alex?For Christmas, Becky made my favorite cake- YUM!
White chocolate amaretto cake :)
We got to visit my parents for Christmas! Check out their cat, Henry.
Pumpkin pie is also my favorite kind of pie!

There was so much snow at my parent's house that the deck table was almost unusable!
We got to my parents just in time for my mom's birthday! No, I won't tell you her age but here's a funny story- when Tasha was going to the store for candles, I told her "Get trick candles!" and I didn't think she took me seriously. But then my mom had a lot of trouble blowing out the candles and it turns out she bought trick candles because I had told her to...

Before we left Hampton Roads, we had Christmas with Becky's mom, so we actually had TWO Christmases this year! How fantastic!
Christmas #1 at Becky's mom's house
We also got to see some old friends from high school - James and Jaime and Coach Cooksey!
There was even some snow for the holidays! Richmond got about 18 inches, but we had to settle for 2 inches. Better than nothing!
