What a day!

Today was a great day! It snowed all day long and the kids played outside with one of the neighbor kids and built a snowman! We had pancakes for breakfast, chili for lunch, chocolate chip cookies for a snack, and we started painting our basement. Then Carli lost her first tooth! She was so excited! She doesn't think that her friends will recognize her at school with her new hole!

On days like today, we are reminded just how blessed we are. We have a nice place to live that keeps us very warm on cold days like today, we are blessed with three healthy children, and we have the opportunity to share God's love in this beautiful place. The little neighbor boy, who played with our kids outside today, ate lunch with us. Josh said a prayer before we ate and I think that was the first time that he had ever prayed. He seemed very confused, but still held Caleb's and Cotter's hands and bowed his head. Josh even prayed in German so that he could understand. Josh also had the opportunity to talk with a neighbor for quite some time today. We continue to see God working here in Vienna. Thanks for all of your prayers.

Congratulations Carli!! Catch can't wait 'til he loses his first tooth! Hope the tooth fairy treats you well. We miss you guys so much! Have a good week.
 
Hey Carli! I am so excited for you! Kim and Josh I know that God is at work in Vienna through you guys and that you are right where He wants you to be. Imagine in a few years when you look back at the growth of the seeds you are planting today!
 
Yeah, Carli!!! I can't wait to see that missing tooth in person! I am so proud of you all and am praying for you all the time! We miss you and are so excited to see you! Love you!
 
Carli! Canton said you all are "pirate twins"!!!!! (Kim, dont read that to her if she won't like that) They are getting so big so fast! They look so cute and I am glad they like the snow! God is working through you all and the neighbors are blessed to have you there!
