We have arrived!


We are here in Louisville tonight. We arrived around noon and were able to meet the NZ family and their kids. Luke became instant friends with Matthew and Joel- the lego, Star Wars stuff and bikes were an easy connection ! The girls were thrilled to meet Rachel and Anna-Marie- what a fun bunch. As we left all the kids were planning the next time they could hang out!

The Louisville Extended Stay hotel is okay for now. The kids are really good about coping in interesting situations after NZ, but we hope that we can find a home soon! Poor Luke lost his treasured pocket knife from Grandpa Morris- at least we cannot find it today- he is a sad lad! Ellie and Megan are praying for some new friends here in Louisville, and they are asking lots of good questions as they realize that we are far away from home. The most frequent question has been- "Mom- Do you think that Isabelle will remember us?" I have assured them that with Skype they can see Issy and all their cuzzies- lots I hope!

So tomorrow we will attend church and hopefully catch a couple open house tours. Hard to plan every day- will have to trust God and see what He has planned for us!

Miss the grandparents and family at home! Love to you all!

Keith and Teresa- Ellie and Megan and Luke

PS stay in touch with comments- then I can know who is keeping tabs on us!
PPS- will post new pics soon- I forgot my camera when we visited the campus today!

Hello Hansons! So glad to know you made it there safely. We'll be praying for each of you as you settle in (...and work out the details re: settling in!). Enjoy the adventure! The LORD is good...
Love you all!

hi Hanson fam! Just wanted you to know I'm reading this and keeping up to date with your God adventures. May His blessing be on you this year! I'm typing with one hand while I nurse my little Josiah, who was born 10 days ago. Guess you won't be around for the quilting in September... God bless,
Amy

Heh there Hanson Family!

Good to catch up with you! I heard from Keith (Witt) that you are off on another adventure but was unsure how to contact you until I remembered your website!

Great to hear that you all had a safe and enjoyable trip. May God bless and keep you in his loving care. The kids send their G'Days to you all!
Love, from The Taylor gang!
