The March Gang

Well, today was a good day in Ireland.  One; Maw Maw and Paw Paw March arrived safe, tired but happy to be here.   The other is the long awaited container arrived and so we are really going to have a wonderful Christmas.  We have a lot of food on there and a lot of things from home.  The kids have already gotten a few things off of it and are excited.  If I knew they would have been that excited about old toys and stuff I would have just made that Christmas and saved some money.

For those of you wondering Dalton “Red” March survived his first international flight and entrance into a foreign country. Him and Mom were speaking to each other when we found them so all was well.  Dad did say that it is a lot bigger than it looks on the map.  The funniest thing so far is everytime we have gone to get into the car he has followed me to the drivers side.  I can’t give him to hard of a time since I stil catch myself going to the wrong side once in a while.  He also wanted me to send a message out to Chuck Coomer. Dad said… “Chuck you wouldn’t like it much here.  So far I haven’t seen a tree big enough to tree a coon in.”   He also is trying to acclimate to the local dialect.  He said they all look like my next door neighbor until they speak then I just aint sure what they are saying.  Dad wanted me to let all of you who are helping cover all his livestock duties while he is gone “Thank you!”.  (Nathan Gordan, Elmer Gene Littrell, Craig, Larry and Gary Mathis)  Mom is excited to be here and has been requested to make us chicken and dumplings.  We know she hasn’t made any in awhile so we thought it would do her some good.  When she reads this she may want to throw them at me. (She overseen the making of the dumplings for the nine nights of CAOH)

This weekend is going to be fun.  We are having our church Christmas Banquet and Children’s Program.  Kirsten has a solo and is very excited about it. Peyton is helping with the puppets and Simeon is a Wise Man. We will be posting pictures and hopefully video.  We want to thank all of you back home for your support, prayers and love.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
