It’s been slow on pictures, but that reflects the slowed pace we’ve taken while on home assignment. It’s been good to move into regular rhythms as a family and most of those rhythms fit into the lockdown. We all got sick at one point about 3 weeks ago, so hopefully we’re in the immune category now.
Before the lockdown we had a few short trips. Lisa’s family flew her and the kids out to Montana while I did some work on the house. Then we were able to take a few trips to Minneapolis to reconnect with Vašek and Lida from Kostel Jinak over New Years, and to attend a missions conference later that month.

It’s been quieter since the lockdown, but we’re doing well and God has been really sweet to us in the midst of all the changes going on.

We tell the kids that the park across the street is our park (because we pay taxes), so they get a little more excited to go for walks through the woods at ‘our’ park.
