First day of School

School sessions started today, the boys had a great time. I got to help out with looking after a couple of preschoolers. Also had fun watching the boys play football (soccer) and it's always a laugh watching little kids trying to do jumping jacks, there's a lot of coordination going on! Josh and Seth made lots of new friends as have I with all the parents around.

We had the US T.M.I. team over for dinner on Tuesday, it was so nice. The head lady leader, Linda Maher (who we spent last summer with out in the East), had her birthday so we sort of celebrated that, with chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting, yum! I also made fajitas and had a bunch of freezing cold soda with lots of ice (anyone who's been on a TMI team knows how much that means). After we ate, the kids jumped on the trampoline, ran around the house. The boys were playing with Josh and Seth some type of cops and robbers game. They had every toy weapon from the toy box, got dressed up in masks and hats from the dress up box and went running around the garden like manics, hiding and chasing each other in the dark. Needless to say our boys had a blast. Also great to talk with some teens that feel the Lord calling them on to the mission field (possibly Cameroon), after all it was on a TMI team to Papua New Guinea where I felt God calling me to be a missionary... and the cycle goes on :D.

That's neat you guys got to do that. I know the team must've really appreciated it. We started back to school (at home) this week too. It's been... interesting! ;) I think we have the swing of things now- ready to start full blast next week. We're really looking forward to your visit.- Genny

That's really neat about the teens... I'm glad the boys had fun at school.
Why don't you give us a picture tour of your new house? We would l.o.v.e. it! Maybe when you get back???
See ya soon! Have fun in England. Sarah wants to know if you have Jonah (veggie)? She wanted to get that for the boys.
