what can I say...?

I haven’t been blogging lately because our computer died… It is still dead to be exact. We got a virus, which turned out to be a rather nasty one. Not just a virus but a ‘worm’. And not just one ‘worm’, three ‘worms’ There are also 17 execute files on the computer, whatever all that means. In my day to day language it just means: the computer is toast.

We are borrowing a tiny little notebook of friends from church for the time being, but we are looking at something more permanent. Of course a new compute costs money, which we do not have. Sometimes it seems that life just never changes.

Leland still doesn’t have a job, but is following Dutch class four days out of the week. We are praying and praying and praying that he will get a job soon. It’s been a year and a half. Enough with the trial already.

More ordinary day to day news: Monty has the stomach flu (that is, we hope it is just the stomach flu and nothing more serious like the Mexican flu or something) and of course, Monty being Monty, he milks it for all that it’s worth. He is so melodramatic. This morning he said: “I have had a stomach pain for years and years and years….”

Whatever kid. Just go take a nap.
