We Made It!

We finally arrived at MDP on Saturday, April 27. We were here early so we were able to get unpacked and settled in by the time supper rolled around. Karina likes her bed because she is on the top bunk, and thankfully Eden is sleeping in a new room. Tomorrow begins our classes and the girls attend their own classes. Thanks for all your prayers, we feel them. Here are a couple pictures from our trip out. The hugeness of Mt. Rushmore and the great landscapes through the badlands, and the Black Hills were well worth the trip in the car with the girls. (And Roy) We'll sign off for now, and we'll keep you posted.

Chicago!

We made it to Chicago in one day! On Thursday, April 17, we left for Chicago a little later than we expected. Karina woke up with the stomach flu, but after a couple hours she was ready to ride, and she only threw up once in the car into our make-shift bucket. After a short nap and a little chicken noodle soup at 3pm she said she was all the way better. We stopped for supper late and the girls fell asleep instantly so we took that as a sign to just drive. Thankfully it was about 11pm Chicago time when we went whizzing through Chicago, and we have been enjoying a very relaxing time reading, going for walks, and playing at Roy's sister's house.

Tomorrow, April 21, we leave for Canada. We hope to visit Mt. Rushmore and then head north into Canada after that. Thanks to all of you for praying for us. We wouldn't have made it this far without you. We'll keep you all posted when we are able to. Roy, Laura, Karina, Eden.
