The update: Andy, Laura, Luke, and Gabe

----------  ---------  ----------  ---------  ---------  ---------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ---------  --------- 


The year is flying by, which is no excuse for not updating those who do want to know what is going on in our lives.

We are settled into Hendersonville life.  We are enjoying the summer weather, our garden, our bikes/bike trailer, the rivers and streams nearby, hiking, and a great community of friends and church.

We are raising chickens for eggs and food.  After I was attacked by the rather fat rooster roosterone evening, Andy decided it was time the rooster met his demise so that we could have dinner the next evening.  I was not fond of the whole experience, including the dinner preparations.  Andy, on the other hand, loved learning something new.  We now have three hens and two roosters, which we hope to keep alive.  The hens should start laying eggs within the month.

Luke and Gabe continue to grow closer as brothers, especially since Gabe started to walk and run and talk.  Luke prefers to speak English now, though we only speak Spanish at home.  Gabe is learning both languages as he picks up most of his words from Luke.  It is such a joy to watch them grow and learn together.

I stay busy with the boys at home.  On the side, I am busy knitting, sewing, and quilting.  It has been great to get back into knitting since returning from Honduras.  I have also learned how to make jam from all the delicious fruit we pick nearby.  So far, strawberry and peach jam have made it into our pantry.  Hopefully, some blackberry jam is soon to come. 


Andy stays busy with work and projects around the house.  One big project he is undertaking is the construction of a garage next to our house.  Next week, we are supposed to have the slab poured for that.  We shall see how it goes.  

We continue to have frequent visitors from family and friends.  If the grandparents were willing to travel to Honduras (3 hour flight + 7 hour drive) so often to visit Luke (Andy and I know it really wasn't about us), we knew they would make the easy flight/drive to NC as often as possible.  It has been great to have them visit.
