Fall 2012


Time flies when you're having fun!  We have had a fun and busy Fall.  Benjamin started Kindergarten and is doing fantastic.  He starting to read and is constantly amazing his teacher with what he knows!!  He has tolerated the long days at school like a champ!  Elise is doing well as the oldest in the elementary school (3rd grade) and enjoying her friends and teacher.  She had a fun fall softball season making new friends.  Bryce has made a very smooth transition to the Intermediate school and we are so blessed to have wonderful teachers.  He is doing great in school and has enjoyed another active soccer season.  He just turned 10 on November 23.  Scott and I are amazed that we have a kid in the double digits!! We celebrated our 15-year anniversary this November and we marvel at all the Lord has blessed us with!  We are so thankful for all He has done in our lives.   Scott was a world traveler this fall, going to China in September and Brazil in October, as well as teaching his classes, research and writing grants!  Nanette continues to work 3 days a week and some weekends to raise finances for the adoption.  Her job has slowed significantly reducing the finances coming in, so we are going to have a fundraiser for this adoption.  (We will have more on that later.)  Everything is on track for adoption #2, our dossier was sent to China in October and we were logged-in on November 13.  This date is significant because all documents have been translated and we are ready to receive a referral for our little girl!!!  The family is very excited and we pray for her every night.  We look forward to what this next year holds for our family!!
