Prayers and Praises
Praises for a restful Christmas and New Years at home—our very first in the USA as a family! We are so grateful to have our own real Christmas tree, decorations, and all the good stuff. So thankful for Christmas break from IUPUI and teaching school for Caid.
Praises—I (Rachel) went to the dentist and don’t have any cavities! Prayers for the girls dentist appointment coming up, which will be Jessica’s first one.
Caid got to be a groomsman in his friend from college’s wedding: what a cool get-a-way trip! Sofia was on honor roll this semester with straight As! Jessica wrote “Merry Christmas” on a million (30) Christmas cards.
