Update on me - 1st grade is going well. I am feeling more and more ocmfortable with the little ones. My morning is going fairly smoothly (Language Arts). The afternoon has a little ways to go. Math after lunch is difficult as the students don't feel like concentrating too well. It would be better in the morning, but there is not time!

Bill and I went to the theater last night and saw Sally Struthers (All in the Family star) in a play called Nunsense. It was a cute, vaudeville style show. We had opportunity to laugh. :-)

Bruce is visiting us after returning from his 7 months at sea duty. He'll be moving to Virginia in December, so we will enjoy his being close for just a couple of more months. He showed us a recent photo of 15 year old Nick, who is 6ft 7in!! Patrick is tall too - 6ft or so. Nick is a sophomore in high school and Patrick is a senior! What happened to my little boys???

Bible Study fellowship is so good! We are studying the Life of Moses. I am already struck by God's faithfulness, preservation, and preparation in Moses' life. When I can apply the lessons we are learning in my life - now that brings blessings for sure!

Here are the little darlings and the "puzzle" we made the first day. Things are going very well, considering I feel like a fish out of water! :-) They have been kind enough to give me my first cold of the year as well. We all will be happier when we are healthy and have a regular routine.

Remodeling is nearing the end. I will post photos when we are finished.

God is good, all the time....
