October???

OH DEAR!! It's October already!!! Where in the world did MAY go?? Much less, August and September!!!

We are definitely staying very busy! But we can still see very clearly why God has us here. We are reminded that HE and HE ALONE will sustain us and continue to refresh us as we approach Christmas.

We will not be traveling to the States for Christmas, but Mom and Dad are planning to come here in November. That will be great! If any of you want to come.... COME ON DOWN!!! :)

By the way.... We FINALLY had our first rain! It was so refreshing! It was hard to pull myself off of the front window, while I smelled that FRESH RAIN Smell!! How utterly Refreshing!! It has only rained once, so full 'Rainy Season' hasn't started yet... but it should soon. It's really nice to see more and more clouds filling the sky! We haven't had ANY rain in the past 2 months... I've always loved the smell of rain... but it was a moment of SWEETNESS!! Much Anticipated!!

Caleb is still cute as a button! He is really good at writing his name now! And he's all about some Swimming! This is really a blessing, because last spring, he did NOT want in the water AT ALL! Then he fell in a friend's pool, and I thought that would put him over the edge... but HE LOVES IT NOW!

Chris hasn't burned again like the first time... And he's got a TAN LINE! So that's a great thing!! He's staying busy, but has the office almost on autopilot!! But, he's finding new projects to do every week!

I'm doing good, and getting in my groove with teaching. We have several high schoolers that will be leaving between now and Christmas, so please pray for them. One of my 'Sweet Babies' is leaving very soon (like in less than 2 weeks)! (You know, they are all my Sweet Babies!!!) The kids usually meet these moves with nervous anticipation and worry, but they still have some excitement about them. I still am enjoying teaching... but I get excited when I get to clean up head wounds, assessing Rashes, and bandaging Boo-Boo's! It's the best of both worlds!!! Where else can you clean up nose-bleeds and teach electron configuration!! :) :) :) (OK... I'm a nerd!)

PLEASE, PLEASE email us and let us know how YOU are! We love to hear any news we can from the States!
Thank you for your support, encouragement, and love!
