Well, not having internet in the house for a while in Costa Rica really affected our internet postings! Most of you know by now that we returned to the US about a month ago to reapply for residency under the new laws for Costa Rica. Most recently, this involved us travelling to Washington D.C. this week to have all of our documents sealed by the consulate's office. Funny how they required both of us to come in person yet never checked ID's while we were there! So, two days of travel, a babysitter for the kids, 4 meals on the road, and a $320 document fee all culminated in a half hour wait in the consulate's office and a blue stamp on our documents! Yay!
In addition to paperwork, we have been enjoying the time with friends and family. Although it was nice to be home for the holidays, it was quite a dip in the temperature for us to come from Costa Rica to Detroit! The kids have not hesitated to play out in the cold and their first attempt at a snowman was met with much excitement! Perhaps with more snowfall we'll make the rest of the snow family to join him.
We are also scheduling churches, if anyone has interest in having us speak at any church events. The month of March is quite full, but many dates are still available!
