When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

D-Day!


Hard to believe that 4 years of planning have gone by and we have now started a new leg of this journey! I'm about to fall asleep typing so I'll give you the quick version of today. We started at the Atlanta airport at 6:30 this morning with 4 happy kids and a mound of luggage. Check in and Security could not have gone any smoother thanks to many prayers!




Hank waiting patiently Abe on the airplane (he calls it "hairpane")

And Eli napping on the floor of the Costa Rican airport in the middle of a very long day!









So we're glad to report that we're here safe and sound. We had our first meal out on the town tonight - ridiculously yummy burritos. Looks like we will be able to move into our house on Saturday morning but most of our bags are there already and we will be able to go there tomorrow and do some unpacking. The kids are excited but exhausted. We kept them up late tonight to start adjusting to the time change (CR is 2 hours behind GA). It's awesome to watch them grow and adapt through this process. On a side note, Eli lost his 1st 2 teeth last week and Abe is sleeping in a big boy bed for the first time tonight - let's hope we don't hear a thud:)
