New Project for 2014

We were able to get back to the States for two weeks to celebrate Christmas and New Years with family.  It had been a year since Stacey was back to PA to see her family, so that was especially good.  Now that we have seen family face to face and shared the news with them, we thought we would share it with all of you. 

2014 will be looking a bit different for us!

After practicing with rabbits, cats, dogs, chickens, vegetable gardens, guatusas, banana trees and passion fruit vines, we’re going to take a swing at taking care of a baby human. And not just any baby, our baby! Stacey is 5 months pregnant. We’re over halfway there! Little baby girl Eldridge should be joining the family in mid-May.
  
We have been doing a lot of praying and thinking just the two of us for over 4 months now and the bottom line is we are not in control, never have been.  God always is.  Our idea is to return to the States for 6 months in 2014, approximately March - August to finish the pregnancy, give birth, and the first few months of the baby's life.  We will be living in the Dayton, OH area where we lived before we moved to Honduras.  We will continue our Community Development staff position with Heart to Honduras in their offices in Xenia, OH.
