I just got off the phone with a representative at the Immigration Office. I was told that a decision letter would be sent out by the end of this week or on Monday! The representative said she could tell me nothing else, like what the decision would be, but she did know that it was happening very shortly. Please pray for the workers at immigration to have favor on us and open the way for the big move. Our friend who will receive the letter for us in Iceland should have it by early next week. I am Read More
Ever wonder what a diaper is made of?
The other day, we discovered why Darcy always does this when she has to go potty: We were in the car driving across town to visit Colby's brother when Darcy announced to us that she had to go potty. We told her the same advice that we always give: "HOLD IT, Darcy!" However, this time, she cried out, "I Can't...I holding my book!" She had a rather large Elmo book in her hands, and therefore was not able to "Hold IT." She somehow managed to stay dry till we got to our destination where we Read More
Did you know that Mr. Rogers was from Pittsburgh?
...well, neither did I. But, now that I have gone to the Pittsburgh Children's Museum I can answer any Mr. Rogers trivia questions you might have. We got to see the original puppets from the neighborhood of Make-Believe, his original blue loafers and sweater, and play in King Friday's castle. Like an idiot, I failed to take any pictures of this part of the museum, but did manage to capture the rest of the exhibiits. This was the best children's museum we have ever been to (and we have been Read More

Residence Permit Update
Well today we found out where our application for our residence permit is. It has made it to the desk of the Immigration Lawyer. Now in the Garman family we like a good lawyer, and often take them to be our dearest friends, so we have much confidence that the invitation to Iceland is within our grasp. But let us not be too hasty, for it seems as though our friendly immigration lawyer is on a journey abroad until December 1st. This light and momentary affliction doth not deter our hope that we Read More
Livin’ it Up
It has been so....different to just exist in Pennsylvania and wait for our VISAs. There have been some days that I feel ready to GET OUT and get settled in Reykjavik, but most mornings I am just grateful for this season of our lives. Here is what this season has included: *Reading books I've always wanted to read (Nouwen, Ortberg, Dobson just to name a few) *Learning to play the guitar *Going through an amazing curriculum with the girls (Five In a Row by Jane Claire Lambert; Read More
Communion with Kids
So, last Sunday we visited a new church in the area that was affiliated with Sovereign Grace Ministries. When we arrived, they instructed us that the children were to stay with us for the first part of the service and then would be released before the sermon. We sat down and the pastor began to prepare the congregation for communion. He started by talking about the plagues and the bondage of the Israelites in Egypt. We have been reading these stories to the kids, but I was surprised when Darcy Read More
