Little Ones

Today was a rainy dreary day and I was sitting in the Library after school
with the day students since the dorm parents had the rest of the kids in the
dorm and out of the rain (becuase if you didn't know in Jamaica rain makes
you sick:).
I was just about ready to have the kids clean up and lock up the
library when these two sweet faces walked in.

I turned from the table as they walked in and one came up
and gave me a hug and then both ran to the toy box and started
to play:)
I have no idea what there names are...
they have no idea what their names are:)
One of them had
NJ sewn onto the side of her shoes so I am guessing thats
ones initials. The other I had no clue. I knew we were getting
2- 4 year olds and I guess they have arrived.
Tomorrows goal: find out the names of these girls

look at that sweet face!

There Here!

My kids are back and my heart has been smiling so big since

I heard the first voice Tuesday morning as I was getting

ready and instantly knew who had arrived:)

Damian and his ornery smile that I love!

Thank You Jesus for the safe arrival of all the kids who
have returned so far.

The Kids Are Coming!!!!

Tomorrow the Kids come back to school and I'm

SO EXCITED!!!!!!
Please pray for safe travels as they return
and a smooth start to the fall term.

Home

Yesterday I traveled back home, and I know how it is going
to be, but every time it still hits me how different the 2 places
I love are.

We had a smooth travel day. 3 flights, 2 airlines, arriving at a decent
time in the afternoon.
I am not so happy to say that we are now two for two in not
having any of our luggage arrive with us...
Not one piece.
So it was smooth sailing until we arrive home:)
Then comes the hurry up and wait. Hurry to the shortest lines, wait in lines,
do paper work, hurry to wait in more lines, get paper worked stamped.
Hours later leaving the airport to crazy traffic.
BUT
When you are so tired and just want to be home and praying
that your bags show up the next day without anything taken
out that you will have to go back to the airport to fight for
God blessed us with an AMAZING sunset to Enjoy while
we waited in traffic.

Its good to be home, the transition has started, I got my bags
today! and nothing is missing that I know!
Thank You Jesus!

Becoming a Bad Penny

So I got to spend a lot (but never enough) time with these great people.
It got to the point where at the end David would hear my voice and
stick his head out the door and say "your like a bad penny we
can't get rid of!"
(No worries David I know that was said in nothing but Love:)

Spending a weekend with The Ringgers and the
before church picture. Seeing this picture makes
me laugh as Lincoln was rubbing my leg the
entire time we took pictures:)

Kate and I trying out the 4XL body suit that she found
and they are planning on bringing down in January to
have the kids do races in. Kate and I did good in them
we even went up a few steps... that was tricky

Family Time

Sunday I was able to get together with my family before I left Monday
for Indianapolis to fly out early Tuesday morning.

I Loved getting to spend time with my siblings

and getting to seem them interact with their kiddos.

It does an Aunties/Sisters heart good:)

Ryan and Jaxon

Kristen and Colton

I also get to spend some time with Grandma and that
was fun too.

Blessings to you all I will see you in Dec. Lord Willing!

From Rats to Snakes

When trying to get things all packed up and laundry done one more
time I went over to Granny's house since the wash machine at mom
and dads was not working. I was coming up from the basement when
I saw this little guy hanging out. I knew Aunt Kate was coming over
and a snake would NOT be okay with her so I disposed of it before she arrived.
For whatever reason the creepy crawly things always seem to find me.
