I am sad to say that I have not been taking many pictures (after my summer camera happy self). Time seems to fly by these days and I cannot believe that it is already October.
What is happening with us? Well, school started for us September 8th. Conor is in grade 6 and Mackensey is in grade 3. This is Conor's last year before Middle School. At church they call them the Sixers. Both have great teachers but they do not keep the same students in each class (public school). Mackensey was quite upset about that because most of her friends are in the other two third grade classes. Her best friend did end up in her class so that has helped.
What else is happening? Mackensey is in musical theatre and is practicing to be in the play "Annie." She is very excited about this. She is one of the orphans and this will be a full blown out production with tickets sold to a real theatre. I think I hear "It is a hard knock life..." at least a hundred times a day. For a while she was singing "It is a hard enough life..." Conor became quickly frustrated with this line until she got it right. She is so "fun!" Conor is playing the drums, but we had to take a month off due to his broken finger. Normally this would not be a big deal but it has broke on the growth plate and the doctor says this can be serious because his finger could grow crooked if it does not heal properly. I feel really bad for him because he had to miss soccer. Thankfully, he plays football in the spring so he did not have to miss that.
What else is happening? We are back in full swing with MOPS, young couples Bible study, young single adults Bible study, Saturday services, Sunday services, ministering in downtown Duncan to the homeless, Christmas craft fair, Christmas Jump Start - the list goes on.
Especially for my family - I will do better at posting some pictures to the blog. I love everyone and miss them lots. Thanksgiving in October and making a turkey for the four of us (and one guest) just didn't seem right or normal. Holidays will be a bit harder this year but that is ok. Oh well, I know this is where we are suppose to be and wouldn't trade it for anything.
