Never A Dull Moment!

Since we left Mexico, there hasn't been a dull moment!!! Our schedule has been just as full, if not more. We had our family picture made so that we could have a new prayer card ordered. That is not as easy as you may think! With five children, one inevitably will not be looking at the camera, or not smiling or just may not feel good. This time it was Caleb. We have all had the regular flu and poor Caleb was fighting it worse than anyone at the time. However, our pictures turned out good and I am so excited to share them with you. For a change, we went casual, which was a lot of fun, except for trying to find clothes for everyone to match!

God has blessed us with a wonderful family!!! Cynthia is 7 years old; Caleb, the sick one :( , will be 2 on December 1st; the newborn doll, William, is now two months old; Lee, the oldest, is ten; and Andrew, our child that keeps us laughing, will be 6 on November 18th.

Each one of our children is unique in his or her own way. It is amazing how all these children can have the same Daddy and Mommy, and yet be so different! God has blessed each one of our children with different abilities. We are looking forward to how God is going to use each and every one for His own glory.

Randy and I have celebrated twelve years of being married. God has blessed us with much more than just five children! We have had the awesome privilege of serving Him as missionaries and have been able to travel to places we not only dreamed of visiting but also places we had desired to visit one day. Right now, Randy is on a missions trip to India. He left yesterday afternoon for 10 days. Please pray for his safety. Also, please pray for those of us back at home who miss him tremendously!

Things haven't slowed down although Randy is gone. If anything, they became more hectic for a short amount of time! As with all children, ours have tried to "push the limit", so to speak, with Mommy in seeing what I might allow them to "get away with" since Daddy is gone! We have had some interesting moments! We finally got our school books for this school year and got off to a bumpy yet productive start. With everything that was going on with William being born early and our move out of Mexico, we are just getting started. As the saying goes, "Better late than never!" With all of the traveling we will be doing, we are sure to drop a little more behind. Please pray that we will find the time to do as much as possible to stay on track and hopefully catch up gradually to where the children should be in the school year.

It is sinking in to all of us that the move to Thailand is not far off! We are looking forward with anticipation to the exciting things that lay ahead. And, I am looking forward to sharing them with you.

God bless you all.

Finally - A Free Moment!

We have officially moved out of Mexico. We are currently staying with Randy's Aunt in Texas. Everything we own is now in a box, rubbbermaid container or suitcase in a trailer. What a blessing to know that we are in the center of the Lord's will. We are planning on being with our families for the holidays. We are also looking forward to doing a few things with our children this week. The last few months have been pretty stressful with the early arrival of William and the move. We are in great need of some down time!
Please pray for us as we will be traveling. We have all had the flu and are still battling with symptoms. Please pray that we will be able to get over it quickly.
