The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

It has been quite an eventful first week home as the Hollomon three.

The Bad and the Ugly: We touched down at JFK last Saturday morning and stopped to get some food first thing. When Chris went to pay, his debit card was declined. After a quick call to the bank, we discovered Chris' debit card number had been stolen and someone in our hometown went on a many hundreds of dollars shopping spree while we were in Ethiopia. The card was flagged by the bank because of some of their purchases. We're working to get that resolved. Then Sunday we discovered our refrigerator was broken, so we took all of our food to the church freezer. What are the odds that the church freezer would break? I'm not great at math, but it happened. And now today, our van died. Then within the hour we totaled our other car. So, as a word of caution, please steer clear of us or you may be struck by lightning.

The Good: In the midst of all of our drama, getting over some minor illnesses plus jet lag and time changes, Myles is adjusting really well. I'll post more about him later as well as our trip. Please pray for us!!!

And We're Off!

Well, here we are. It's overwhelming to think that we'll be holding Myles in our arms in just two days. We are so thankful for all of your prayers and support. Please continue to pray for travel mercies and a great bonding time as a family.

A BIG THANK-YOU to all of you who are helping around the house while we are away — all the house sitters, house cleaners, dog sitters, meal preparers, curtain sewers :), and everyone else who will be helping out around the abode while we travel. It is a huge weight off of our minds! We appreciate you all!

The next time we see you, this Hollomon two will be three!
