We have had a busy spring full of blessings here in our sweet home town of Kansas. I feel overwhelmingly blessed that we have been back home for 2 years. How amazing it is that we get to travel the world and always return back to where a piece of our hearts always remain. Today is a bittersweet day for our little family. We are making a move to Calgary, Canada. Our house is sold. We have been staying with my parents for the last few weeks soaking in lots of family time. We are excited to go on a new adventure but as always my heart aches for the days that I will be so far from family and friends that I love so dearly. Can I just say...thank you Jesus for technology? Makes it so much easier knowing I can press a little button and see the faces of my favorite people anytime!! Love you facetime!! Anyway... back to all the spring fun!!!

Whit and B and I followed up our fun day out by collecting items from the list needed for the victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes. I love spending time teaching our children how to give to others. Whit was so proud to deliver the items to the truck and sign her name on the banner!! We sure love some special Oklahomans!!!
So, that was a little bit of our Spring in review. Full of fun, smiles, laughter, blessings, and a few tears of moving sadness. We always miss home when we are gone. We are Kansans through and through and can't wait to return again. Until then we ask for prayers of travel mercies. May the Lord travel before us and behind us. May the Lord be with each of you and each of us. We look forward to our adventures in Canada. We will miss each of you and pray for you daily until we see you again.
In Christs Love,
Sarah and Family
p.s. Today we hope to find out if the caboose to our little family train is a boy or a girl...we know for sure he or she will be a dual citizen. What an amazing, crazy life we lead. I am just SO thankful I know its all from Jesus because that is what makes me be able to embrace it and just keep on enjoying each moment!! LOVE Y'ALL!!!!
