School's Back from Summer!!

So the summer was pretty crazy!



Fast and furious, with lots of doctor's visits and all the fun that goes with...


And then just before we left, we received some horrible news.
Katie, my cousin's wife, had suffered a brain anyuerism at the end of July, and was not expected to live. But a little more than a month later, and she has gotten to leave the hospital. The doctors have said over and over that they don't know what happened, why she is even alive, and why she is healing so quickly. But we do......

Read through these to hear the amazing story.


I moved back in late July, and moved out of my apartment and into a house! Mom, Dad and Grandma all drove out to get me back and helped oodles with moving. I also have a house mate - Kelli Wilson. She taught first grade last year and is teaching junior high this year and handling the Library. We get along pretty well. Our cats, not so much:)



The first week is over and we are doing well here in Kindergarten land. Ten kids this year, so I have to remember some things from two years ago about how to run this size of a group. I got spoiled last year with only five! But they are a nice group and pretty smart. Pray for me and them all for the adjustment. I have a few kids who obviously have some church background, and that is always good, since they pipe up with answers and you don't hear crickets chirpping with every question :) They all need the Lord though, and so pray they hear with their hearts and respond.



Pray especially for Cameron and Jameson, who are having a hard time getting used to how you behave in a classroom setting and with other kids. But they are both sweet boys, so it is not hard to love them, even while I am pulling out my hair.



I will post some pictures in a little bit.

Bye for now

In Christ, Mel
