No Baby Yet

Well, it has been quite a busy week, but no trips to the hospital for a baby, yet! Mommy and baby Jennifer seem to be doing fine, and while the baby is very active, she seems quite content to stay in her warm cozy home for a little while longer. The due date given by the doctors is Sept 20, so we are in no hurry just yet. They don't cry when they are still inside.

The kids are back in school. They are happy to be returning to a familiar school with some old friends. Karina walks to school as it is only about 1/4 mile up the road and we drive Josh up to drop him off along with his cousin.

We are fairly prepared for the yard sale this weekend. Our stuff has been sorted through and we have determined what to keep and what to get rid of. Our house is very near a busy intersection, so by placing a few signs around, we hope to attract a lot of attention and buyers. Our goal is more to get rid of unwanted stuff, but it will be nice to make some money to help with moving costs. We have had several people donate some stuff that should sell to help with the expenses.

We also are planning a presentation dinner in November. We are approved to use the Family Life Center at First Baptist Church Temple Terrace and have had a ton of help getting that coordinated and ideas for the event. We are really seeing God work in a mighty way to prepare for our ministry in Ecuador. So many of our friends are getting really excited about this with us and are pouring themselves into helping us. It is so great! If you are interested in attending, it will be November 6 at 6:30pm. Email me for more details.

I have enrolled in St Petersburg College. I am currently taking two classes with a third to start next month. All are online so I will be able to continue taking classes while I am in Ecuador. It will be good for me to learn more about accounting, management, business and such. Best of all, the Pell Grant covers all the tuition! But books are so expensive! I can't believe I have to pay almost $200 for a book! I hope to be able to sell them to recoup some of that to another student after my class!
