Sept 18-24!

Busy busy - that's us!

Last Tuesday, Caedmon had his 3rd Cross Country meet at Ranger College in Ranger, Texas! Cambree came with me (it was an hour drive and I didn't want to go by myself!) and loved supporting her big brother!

Ready for the 2 mile race!

Run, Caedmon, run!

So tired!

He got 5th place in the 7th grade boys division!

We told Cambree she must have been his good luck charm!

Sporting some bruises from football practice!

Meanwhile I am spending some of my mornings at the gym doing Body Pump and Body Combat classes!

And Blu is working for his Dad...

And taking naps whenever he can...

These two decided they loved each other one day last week and wanted to dress alike!

Cambree is getting all her prep work done for braces!

Last Wednesday night, the kids helped us share about New Day at First Baptist Church in Early, TX! Caedmon told an evangelistic story and served nshiba!

Cambree taught the kids how to play "kupwa"

And Cason taught some Tonga to the kids!

On Thursday, we had a 2.5 hour drive to Caedmon's first away football game in Coahoma, Tx! Here he is getting a drink of water! He is on the kickoff team and got in for lots of plays at Cornerback.

Cason wasn't impressed..

Bangs Dragons win 24-6!

On Friday Blu had to go to Stephenville to get an MRI on his knee and we had our weekly lunch date at McAlister's Deli!

Saturday, Cason's soccer team, the Titans, had a game! They lost, but Cason had a REALLY good game!

Cambree got some roundoff practice in for gymnastics!

On Thursday night, Teacher Diana's mom Barbara went to be with Jesus. We attended her beautiful praise & worship service/funeral on Saturday afternoon.

Seems like Teacher Debbie is our funeral buddy this Fall - no more funerals, we hope!

On Saturday evening, we had a date night to see Caity's play, The Last Night of Ballyhoo, at the Lyric Theatre!

We left the kids with Paw & Bmaw for the weekend so they wouldn't miss out on the kids practicing their trumpets - haha!

On Sunday morning, we headed to Bartlett, TX bright and early!

We love coming here - the church I grew up in, and the church we got married in!

Blu & Kofi, who is now the Varsity quarterback as a Freshman!

Blu & Chad, the bringer of ChadCo to New Day, ready to save the world!

I failed to get pictures, but our Sunday evening was very busy as we had a supper/meeting with the Missions Committee at Immanuel Baptist in Temple, TX, shared a presentation during the evening service, shared with Immanuel's Awanas, and then visited during a cookie/punch fellowship! It was a great time seeing old friends and sharing!

We drove a few miles down the road to Georgetown, TX, and stayed in a hotel so we could have a Monday morning meeting with the pastor of Crestview Baptist, where we will be sharing on November 5th!

The kids enjoying breakfast with their cousins and Bmaw!

Meanwhile, back at New Day...

Burning around the orphanage!

Mom & Dad are taking over our Discipleship classes while we're gone - so grateful for them!

Our week consists of Gymnastics, soccer practice, Perspectives class, Blu's 36th birthday, a knee appointment to read the MRI, a home football game, and an early release day Friday where we may do a fun family outing! Have a great week!
