Year End Review:

We have had quite a year and as it comes to an end we realize we have not been faithful bloggers to our supporters. So for those of you who are more faithful in reading our blog then we are in writing it this is for you.

Last January – Ben’s family came to visit us for Christmas . Jonas wins grand champion at the county fair for his lego model

February- I became a certified flight attendant for MFI

March – we went to the Dominican Republic for a week on a trip with MFI and MAF / Ben’s Aunt Carolyn come and stay with kids while we are overseas

In April – found out I did not have food poisoning from being overseas but I was pregnant with our fourth child

May- Jonas and Lucy finished first grade

June- July – went back to Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri to spend time with supporters and family – our highlight was celebrating our tenth  anniversary at the same place we got married and taking our kids to Family Camp

August- Jonas and Lucy start second grade and Jonas starts his fifth soccer season

September – we welcome a first cousin for the kids on the Fisher side We travel to Tampa Bay to go on a homeschool trip to the Florida Acquarium

October- We experience our first hurricane and evacuate to the East Coast

October/ November- We have our cousin Mindy come stay with us while Ben does relief flights for the hurricane

November- celebrate our third Thanksgiving with MFI

December – On December 19^th I gave birth to our third son and fourth child, Silas James Fisher. Silas means third in Hebrew and James is his Grandpa Fishers name . He was 20 inches and 8 lbs. He is growing like a weed and I am recovering slowly .

So as you can this has been quite a year and I have lived by Elizabeth Elliott’s quote, “When you are unsure what to do just do the next thing..”  It is not that I am have been unsure what to do but I have had more to do than I thought humanly possible at times. God has carried us through and the kids have been troopers and I could not do it without my best friend right by my side.
