School is here!

It's been busy with school this year so far. Drew has done well in 1st grade. Right now everything is pretty easy for him it's just a longer day than he is used to and he has homework. Alyssa is doing well too. We are working on her coloring neatly right now, instead of scribble scrabble. She has also been working at writing letter "A". She is a neat writer and very particular when it comes to it.

Even though school is here we have still enjoyed being outside. The kids love their new swingset. Our recess time for school is to go out and play on it for a little bit. Alyssa loves the glider swing and Drew likes pretending he is in a fort.

I am doing well with the pregnancy and am going on 26 weeks. A lot more tired this time around and still a little nauseous, but no complications thus far. We can't wait to have our new bundle and mommy can't wait to not be pregnant anymore. I really miss running so much and look forward to getting right back in to it.

God has been blessing our bus route. Since we started we have had at least one new visitor each week. Two weeks ago Aaron and I were canvassing for new prospects and we had a lady from Cairo, Egypt come out. She was out of town last week, but Praise the Lord she said she enjoyed it and is coming tomorrow. We had two kids last week who were very bad. Aaron and I were at our wits end with them. Whatever we said it didn't matter. On the way home we were talking with the one girl who was causing trouble and she began telling us that her dad was put in jail and when it was time to get off the bus she didn't want to go home. She sqeezed my neck and gave me a big hug. It was the same situation with the other child who was acting up, dad had left the home and he was having a hard time dealing with it. We are so grateful, even though it's trying at times, to be able to be used of the Lord in loving and trying to help these kids.
