Well, the count-down is on! In just two days Brawleyfam heads out for a cross-cultural adventure. The kids are staying Stateside, while Jon and Elisabeth head across the Atlantic to Basque Country (Northern Spain & Southern France) and London for a total of 16 days. We will try to post updates on the blog from internet cafes along the way, so check back.
We arrive back in PDX on Feb 2.
Please be praying for us!

today while playing Old Maid:
Elisabeth: "I won!"
Jonah: "Oh, for keeps sake, mom!" (Pete's sake)
;0)

Two nights ago while praying before bed:
Jonah: "Jesus please help me to be a good big bruzzer to my baby sister."

Then today during play time:
Jonah: "Ava, don't touch this."
Ava: "Otay, Jao Jao."
Jonah: "Mommy! MOMMY!! Ava obeyed me!!"
