We have had a pretty good last several months and school has started back. Gabriel is a Junior and is driving everywhere. Victoria is a Freshman. It is going by way too fast. Both of the girls are dancing and love it very much. They are also still playing the piano. Since Gabriel can drive them, Kelda and I are having more time together. We have more and more "dates" together and we are loving it.
We remembered Kelda's dad as it has been a year since he passed away. God is comforting all of us and we are all doing well.
This summer was a little tough as our exchange student Alina went home. They all talked about how great the year would be...... they did not talk about how hard it would be to give her back. There was not a dry eye.
We had planned to take it easy this year and "recover" from last year. God had other plans. We are hosting another exchange student this year. Zhibek came to our house Friday September 7 @ 5:00 to a house full of teenagers. What a welcome! For those of you who speak Russian, here is her name. Жанар Даубаева. Zhibek is from Kazakhstan so we are learning a new culture. Again we are fortunate that she speaks English very well. We are excited to have her staying with us!!!!!

We look for another year of adventure. God has blessed us and wants to use us and our home. We said yes now we get to see what happens.
Please check back to this blog from time to time. I will try to keep it updated.
