Labor Day Visitors

Dragon, Maggie, John & Elaine

John, Wes & Justin

Happy Birthday Claire-Bear


I never posted about some of Wes's program buddies - John Carroll and Justin Williams - visiting us over Labor Day Weekend. Click
here to read John's account of the weekend. I probably wouldn't have even thought to post except my daughters continue to talk about the guys all the time.

Recent quotes:
"Who's your favorite person Anna?" Anna: "Dragon "(a.k.a. Justin)

Maggie:"Do you know who is the smartest person I know?"

Well since we had had a great day of homeschooling, I thought I knew the answer, but I said:
"No, who?" Maggie: "John Carroll - he knows more than anyone in the world."
Thanks!


Claire: "Is Dragon
Justin or Jazzy" Trying to figure out what Dragon's real name is and somehow inventing another nickname for him.

Craziness, Now and Forever

As always our life is insane! We took a super quick trip to the metroplex and were able to enjoy:
~ the Crawford family reunion
~ DBC's Mission Women's Meeting
~ some great time w/ our families
~ some great time w/ our friends/supporters
~ lots of yummy "American" food
~ lots of yummy Blue Bell (it's in a category all of its own)

Then we traveled to Austin and stayed w/ the Stewart's for several days! In Austin we were able to hang out with lots more people, attend the Austin Stone, go on 2 dates (thanks!!!!!! Stew & Kimberly), play Wii for the 1st time, hear the most awesome sermon (click on What is Pure and Undefiled Worship?)I've heard in a VERY LONG time, be challenged in pretty much area of life, have intense fellowship w/ the Stewarts, and Wes saw Midlake, Lucinda Williams, Wilco & Bob Dylan at ACL.

You can see a few pictures from the Austin leg on the Stewart's Blog.
I'll try to post a few more soon.

Now that I have my real curriculum we have begun our intense homeschooling! Wow, this is great material! It's also a lot of work for me and the girls! We'll see if we can keep up with it all! It's definitely going to take some flexibility and creativity to make it all work. But we are definitely having a good time!
