On January 31st, the Schlaudecker family will be heading off to Mbingo Baptist Hospital in Cameroon to serve aside our long-time friend, Dr. Kara Beth Thompson. Checking her blog today (karabethinafrica.blogspot.com), I noted that it is currently 79 degrees in Douala, the nearest city in Cameroon. In Cincinnati? 18 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite the stresses of packing and preparing, I know that Mbingo will give us much more than warm temperatures.It's been a busy few weeks for us. We haven't disseminated our news very well, but we are expecting a little girl in early June, and we're moving to a nearby home at the end of February. Despite my protests, I can't seem to convince Jeff that Noah and Baby Schlaudecker can fit in a 6x8 foot bedroom together.
I am on call for the next two weeks, and I am frantically working on grant applications. But for some inexplicable reason, I am filled with utter peace and excitement about our upcoming trip.

Hi, Liz! I LOVE YOU! Hey, all this chatting on the phone, and I didn't get that you were moving?!? Did I read that correctly? Girl, Sorry. Goodness..... You can do it--all. Love to you, Jeff, Noah, and Baby Girl S.
We love you, and want to help you get ready to leave if you need us to watch the little guy for a day, so you can run around and pack, let me know. We need someone to come play over here so we can baby proof anyway. Cana is about a week away from walking around it seems.
