We’re excited to let you know that we’re taking the whole family to Sydney* from June 11-25. We are really looking forward to having two weeks to hang out with the Bookers, the Taylors and other family, catch up with friends, connect at church, visit home groups, take care of some business, and (hopefully) take Levi to the zoo! Please let us know if you’d like to see us for a meal or a cuppa while we’re there.

Some have asked if we’ll be making it to America this year and the sad answer is ‘no’. It’s just too far, too expensive, and too much time away from the ministry to make it realistic for us to go on a yearly basis. At the moment we’re tentatively planning our next trip for sometime during the summer of 2012 (USA summer, that is!). Baby Boy will then be about the same age as Levi was during our Christmas 2010 visit, so that will be a blast.

Some upcoming dates of note:
