Weekly Update

The Twinkies both were promoted to the Kindergarten program at church on Sunday so they were really excited to have Pastor Marc present them with their very own Bibles!

Then Sunday night our sweet friends from Sunday School had us over for dinner.

The kids had soooo much fun-playing with chickens

and riding go-carts

We enjoyed a delicious meal complete with homemade ice cream and had a sweet time of fellowship!

Monday it was back to the books!

We finally finished up the Suspension Bridge....didn't turn out exactly how we had hoped....but they still enjoyed making it!

The kids loved playing a Jeopardy Game that goes along with our Roadtrip Across the USA curriculum.

Twinkie Boy has been trying to have rematch games all week.  He LOVED it!

They all enjoyed making blueberry muffins

which went along with our study of Maine.

We got to choose between making Lobster or Blueberry Muffins

My kids of course chose the muffins!

I loved them!

However the kids didn't think they were sweet enough!

Geography is definitely turning out to be the favorite class this year!

Another highlight of the week was Dan The Animal Man!

The kids loved seeing all the cool animals and I loved the enthusiasm with which Dan brought truth to the kids and his passion for animals and Christ was so fun to see.

Glad my family got to share this experience.

The rest of the week was spent rearranging the house and cleaning out!

THE BOY had a buddy over last night for a sleepover and we had fun swimming this morning and are looking forward to dinner out with some good friends tonight!

JOB UPDATE....

Randy had an interview in Richmond this week.  It went well and he was actually offered a position.  However it payed about half what he is used to making and would require an out of state move.  We would take a salary cut and job here but are not ready to take such a drastic cut and move.  We have prayed and many others are praying and we do not feel like this is the direction the Lord is leading us in.  HOWEVER Randy did counter and offer to accept the position and the pay IF he could telecommute....so waiting to hear if that will work.  He still has a few other leads he is hoping will develop....PLEASE continue to pray. 

Thanks!
