About 2 weeks ago, Tracey and Owen went to the States to attend Tracey’s sister’s wedding in San Diego. Isaac, Graham and I have been holding down the fort here in Togo but we have definitely missed Mom and our little buddy ‘O’.

During Tracey’s absence, I’ve come to appreciate more deeply what a difference one woman can make in a home. Just check out what we’ve been up to:

While Mom is away, the boys will….

  • eat mostly ‘finger food’ meals (hot dogs, pizza, tacos, pb&j sandwiches, etc.),
  • eat dinner while watching hoops on t.v. just about every night,
  • miss Mom like crazy,
  • go almost 3 days without bathing (we were camping),
  • belch as loud (and as frequently) as they please,
  • see how far across the living room they can toss gummy bears into each other’s mouths,
  • and, of course, never put the toilet seat down.

As you can tell, we are ready for the woman in our lives to come home! Please pray for a safe return this Saturday (Dec. 3rd).
