David and I just spent four days in Canada. This was my first time ever to this country and it was an answer to many years of prayer to be able to go to the GFA office in Ontario. I have always felt a strong burden for those in the office over there, and it was such a joy to finally get to see it in person and hug all of their Canadian necks :)

The 2 days at Niagara Falls were an unexpected blessing, as David and I really needed a little "down" time with all the busyness going on with the audit and his travelling. It was so cold there and we froze walking to and from the falls....but, it was all worth it!!!!

Friends of ours kept Timmy and Hosea (separate places for both of them), while Josh and Aaron stayed home by themselves. Thankfully, there were no incidents.....well...except for Josh's car getting broken into and having everything in his wallet stolen except for his license. Why do things like this happen when parents are out of town?? Josh handled it quite well and was much calmer about it than his mom was :)

Josh keeps getting phone calls from various baseball coaches around the country. It's quite exciting...but, we are really praying and hoping for God's will to be done regarding future plans. We are already halfway through his Senior year.....wow!!! Where does the time go...

Aaron is really enjoying High School and is looking forward to basketball season ending and baseball season beginning. It was fun for him to try basketball, but baseball is still the sport he loves most.

Hosea is such a helper for me around the house and with Timothy. I'm grateful for his cheerful attitude and creative ideas. :)

Timmy...well...let's just say I hope he's potty trained before age 13! He really doesn't seem to mind wearing pull-ups and has no desire to do anything else at this point. But, we shall see....
He's a cutie pie and is constantly making all of us laugh :) The other night in the van I was talking to him and he took his thumb out of his mouth long enough to say, "Mama, you my friend!" That warmed the cockles of my heart (whatever those are!!)....

We are richly blessed~
