January Oh-Nine Update
I know I'm getting terrible with the updates. I keep forgetting. Sorry.
We are still keeping busy...we're giving this itineration thing all we've got these last few months. Our goal is to be out of here in March. We believe that goal is VERY possible. So, we are doing LOTS of traveling, pulling out all the stops. :)
Kids are doing well...school started back up again after a nice long holiday break. I don't know how happy they are about that, but that's life, right? Josiah is reading really well now. I'm very pleased with his progress. I think he's excited about it, too.
Other than homeschooling and constant travel, not much else is going on.

"Call 9-9-1!!"
That's what William told Caleb today when they were playing with some Star Wars toys.
I guess I've been slacking in "the little things that everybody knows" department.
I'll get on that this week. :)

Our Christmas 2008
So Christmas is over. I'm kind of glad actually. It's always so frantic and busy, plus we eat too much. :( But we did have fun, and the kids really enjoyed their presents and having Gran-Mom here.
Christmas Day was spent in two places. The morning was at our house, where the kids woke up to stockings. Then we have a big breakfast. After that....presents! This year, Josiah played Santa (to pass out the gifts), Nicole the elf, and then William the reindeer.
After we opened our presents at home, we all headed to my parents house for more gifts, and a big dinner. We had a lot of fun...It made it very memorable knowing this is our last Christmas in the states before we head to Northern Asia.
And to end this post...here is a video to get a glimpse into my family. This is my brother when I gave him my gift (a calendar from despair.com).

December Update
We've been pretty busy these last few days. Keith's mom is here for Christmas. She's been here since Thursday, and we'll stay til the 28th. The kids are REALLY enjoying her visit. They've been showing her all their Christmas videos, and even got her to play the Wii with them! Too funny. My mother-in-law is 74, so she deserves some credit for playing that with them. :)
Can't believe Christmas is only 5 days away! This year has just flown by. I guess with fundraising and all that, we've stayed so busy that I feel like this year was only a day. We've made significant strides in our monthly budget and are looking at closing that last bit in. We should be in Northern Asia sometime in the beginning of next year! Yeah!
Well, I'm off to take my mother-in-law shopping, so I'll leave you with a parting picture. I took this of the kids yesterday in our front tree. It came out great! Merry Christmas, everyone!
