October Updates

Well we are finally settled into our fall schedule.  Bobby is really enjoying is classes and, although he misses his fellow classmates who are now out on vicarage (internship), we are really happy with the decision to defer our vicarage this year.  One of the best things about our fall has been enjoying our time with our Community group through Reliant Church.  It has been wonderful to connect with this group of other young families and share stories about our lives and how God has been working.  We are currently going through Donald Miller's Storyline books and really enjoying the process.

The big girls have been busy with Seminary Kids Soccer on Saturdays, a Little Gym class and school.  In the busyness our biggest challenge is time to connect as a whole family.  Dinner times and devotions before bed have become a wonderful ritual at the end of the day.




Bobby's parents came to visit us and we had a wonderful time with Nan and Poppy.  Nan even brought crafts for the girls and their friends.   Its always nice to have visits from family as we hate being so far away.



Early October started with a bit of a bang as Angie got into a car accident with all of the girls in the car.  We were very blessed that no one was injured and the car was covered by insurance (after we paid out our deductible).  We enjoyed driving a nice suburban while the car was in the shop and I think the girls kind of miss the built in DVD system but I'm really glad to be driving our minivan again.


Eley has now started crawling and pulling up on things.  She loves her big sisters and is trying so hard to be a "big" girl.  We would be fine with her taking her time a bit as she won't be a baby for much longer.


This month has been overwhelming in terms of the outpouring of very generous gifts.  Thank you all so much for your continued support for us and our ministry here.  We are so very blessed.
