Having Fun

Hannah wanted me to post her crazy car picture too. She is hilarious. Everybody just LOVES to hear her talk. I can't imagine why..... haha.... She BEGS to go to the play ground every single day. She can walk there very easily. She has been riding her bike everywhere. There are trails all back in the woods. I will be taking pictures and posting them of the forts and things soon. She also can walk to the ice-cream shop down the road. That place is dangerous!!!! The ice-cream is so yummy and since we can walk there and the ice-cream is only $1.50, and she has her OWN money, it's tough to say no. Especially when she uses her best SOUTHERN voice.

A-mazing

Funny story. Today, Cari and Hannah were writing letters to Mason and Cassie - shhhhhh - dont' tell them. Cari always wants us to help her spell things correctly so she asked Michael how to spell mazing. He said, "Amazing?" She said, "No, just mazing." He said, "I'm not sure I understand, tell me your sentence." She said, "Like, It's amazing in New York. I already got the A, I just need to know how to spell mazing." She cracks us up daily.

The picture is from our trip to N.Y.. They went a little car crazy with the neck pillow. Thank you Mrs. Mavis. They still talk about her and remember that is who's pillow this was to begin with.

Registered

Michael has officially registered. While we were at the picnic at church Sunday evening, a super nice lady was talking with Michael. She told him that he could go ahead and register early! Yippee!!! She said that the more they could get to register early, the better off they would be on the big registeration day. So, today was that day. So, not only is he officially a student now...... can I get a drum roll please???.... we have internet at our cabin!!! No more trips to Panera or the Library.

Life

So, here it goes - officially one week has passed. We have met LOADS of new people. All of them are sweet as sugar. They are all very helpful and very informative. One lady, I am especially fond of. I could tell right off the bat she was the kind of woman I want to get to know better. She is very helpful to me as a wife and mom

This weekend, a huge church group had a camping weekend at the WOL Campground. We met a couple while out walking with the girls. (There are TONS of trails.) They invited us to their pot luck supper last night and a time of campfire singing. That was a lot of fun. We were very blessed to get to know them and another lady from their church who sat with us at supper. And the singing was beautiful.

We visited our first church today. We were very blessed to go there. I can feel all of your prayers for us. I know many of you have been praying that we would find a good church to attend. I know it is the only one we visited, but I believe that this is the church the Lord has led us to here in N.Y.. It feels like our church at home. A good mix of different people. And, a man and woman who attend our Sunday school class brought in squash and zuchinni to share with whoever wanted some. (Sounds a lot like my friends in my Sunday school class at home. When I see zuchinni - I think "Zuchinni Bread!!!") Tonight they are having a Labor Day picnic that we will attend and then a campfire service.

Public school starts after Labor Day here. So, these gatherings are like the last thing they do before they kick off the new school year.

We found out that several families at this church home school. Their Sunday school teacher is a home school mom and dad. That is a real blessing for me and my family. They informed me of the home school group and things they offer.

There are also gatherings once a month for the families at the church of the younger kids to get together and do things (like field trips and other fun stuff).

We are looking forward to all of these new and exciting adventures.

We love you and miss you all!!!
