Long Time...No Post

So I know...you're thinking...did the Nelson's drop off the face of the earth?  No- we just went on our stateside assignment.  Every few weeks a tinge of guilt creeps up that I haven't posted ANY news on us since we left Peru.  Which is a shame because we've still needed prayer here too.  So I confess and apologize and vow to ramp back up postings as we prepare to go to Spain in January of 2013.  

Here's a re-cap mode...picture style of the past few months...due to some technical issues I can't upload our pictures from the winter...so this is basically Spring/Summer 2012 minus Jenny's wedding which was last November.  Enjoy!  

Prayer Request:

OUR VISA APPLICATIONS FOR SPAIN WERE SUBMITTED IN AUGUST!  PRAY FOR FAVOR AND APPROVAL FROM THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT.  

Confession to make..

So I will publically confess this to you...I am a horrible blogger. I like the idea of blogging, when something awesome happens or one of the girls does something super cute during the day- I think to myself... I should post that on our blog, but then the moment slips by and I get busy with life again and weeks go by with nothing said on here. Those of you that know our family, know that we are fun people and wierd stuff is always happening, yet we aren't that great about capturing it in writing, so to speak. So this is my confession and I am going to attempt to do better. I know people that are busier than we are and still manage to update a blog, so they are serving as my inspiration. =)
