We're back!!!

We've been back in Hungary for almost 2 weeks now. Its hard to believe. We've been pretty busy just catching up with people and getting settled in at our temporary home in Budafok. We've decided to buy a family car--a 2000 Opel Zafira--which will allow us to have 7 seats when we need them and when we don't we'll have a nice big trunk space. We're looking for an apartment or house in Vecsés but we haven't had much luck so far. God has been reminding me that HE is my dwelling place and its in HIM that I find my security. We are comfortable in this temporary living space and are thankful that God provided it for us!
Levi is doing well. He adjusted to the time change really well and is sleeping 10 hours again at night. We think he's teething so sometimes he's a bit cranky but, in general, we're all doing really well!
Here are some pictures of our trip:

Levi's first airplane trip--he did really well!
I think its because of all the prayers! Thank you!


Sleeping on the benches at O'Hare--it was a long day for all of us!

We scheduled a brief layover in Frankfurt so we could see Tamara's relatives who live there. We had a short but wonderful time with them!

A good weekend

This weekend we had the joy of having a college friend of mine, Jay Lynn, spend the weekend with us. She lives in Seattle and she came all the way out to MI to see us! We had a wonderful time chatting and it was truly good for my soul. A mutual friend of ours, Dawn, who lives about an hour north of us, picked her up at the airport and we had a little mini Taylor reunion in my living room. It was really fun!


Dawn, me, and Jay (I love you guys!)

On Sunday we dedicated our sweet Levi to the LORD. My sisters, Grace and Maria, have also both had babies in the last year and so we dedicated our children together. It was a really special time. Our prayer for Levi is that "He would grow in wisdom and stature and favor with God and men" (Luke 2:52) just as Jesus did.
