http://littlejakemcswain.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 17, 2015. We really had a sweet time this Easter. It was neat to have my parent's come for the Saturday evening service. Then on Sunday, I served early and we all went to Shelby to see the Barber Family. It was a beautiful day. The kids stayed with Meme and Papa for a couple of days and played with their cousins, Meredith and Jay Caleb. Priceless moments with grandparents! We all loved holding Lori's new babies. It was rough adjusting back to real life this Monday, but we made it! We saw th...

Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Our Final Video from Taiwan. Friday, February 12, 2010. Wrapping up and Heading home! I had grand ambitions to put together another video for you guys but it looks like that just isn't going to happen. Time kind of ran out on us and when I was going to work on the video I chose to just sleep instead. I'm not sure I've ever been this tired. not so much physically but emotionally it has been an incredibly draining week. We are ready to come home. Thursday, February 11, 2010.

Sorry we've slacked off a bit on writing and updates. we have more pictures and videos to share hopefully tomorrow but we've just been so busy and when we haven't been going, we've been absolutely exhausted.
