Many of you have asked what our days look like here in Virginia as we get ready to go to Central Asia.  They begin at 5:00 AM and go strong until about 9:30PM.  During that time we read, pray, get EB fed and dressed, eat breakfast, get ourselves ready, take EB to the nursery, go to class from 8:00-3:00, pick EB up, do various afternoon activities, eat dinner, exercise, give EB a bath and play with her, put her to bed, and then we sit down, take a deep breath, do our homework, read, hang out with our new friends and go to bed by 9:30.  We are getting a flood of information as well as trying to find balance in time with God, family, exercise, homework, our regional team, and communication with our prayer partners.  

Unfortunately, in all of the craziness, EB has stopped being such a great sleeper.  We are trouble shooting her nap times, as well as calorie intake, but for several nights now she has had a little party in the middle of the night.  She has been off kilter all week, but hopefully a weekend of regular naps and eating will put her back in her sweet spot - sleeping 12 hours at night!
