This is the story of our life and the 40 little toes we have to love. Our quiver is full!

Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them. Psalm 125:3-5

We're not in Kansas anymore (or anywhere in America for that matter)

I recall a blog post when we first moved to Australia about shirtless, shoeless men in McDonalds. Similarly, in the past few days, I have noticed several things that have made me think of Dorothy. "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." Here are just a few of them.

1. A grown man walking down our main street wearing a speedo and a t-shirt... and nothing else!
2. An increasing number of people shopping without shoes.
3. A child skateboarding (barefoot) through the grocery store.
4. Christmas Carol services at the beach.
5. Shrimp on the barbie as part of our Christmas dinner.
6. BBQ church every Sunday in January. (That's a real Aussie sausage sizzle after every evening service - did I mention it is in January?)
7. Watching Bowl games while it is 85 degrees and sunny outside.

We are definitely not in Kansas anymore!
