Hmmmmm.......

Well, to state the obvious, it has been almost 4 months since I last posted. Nevertheless, I just added a link to the blog of friends who are in Siberia for the time being, so I don't think I'm ready to ditch this blog despite many thoughts to the contrary.

I dont really have time today for a long update, but we are doing well, quite busy at the moment. I'm teaching the last of 4 sessions at our church's moms group Thursday a.m. Prepping for those teachings has taken a good bit of time -- studying, having conversations, thinking, writing, praying. It has been very very good, but I'll be ready for the changing of the guard next week. I'm going to reward myself by indulging in Brisingr at the end of this week. Ian can hardly wait! I can't indulge too heavily, though, because we're hosting 2 sets of houseguests next week. And the rest of life continues - pastor's class, Wednesday a.m. Bible study, teaching Sunday School to about 35 5th and 6th graders, and trying to keep the household running more or less smoothly. Finding new winter jackets for Ian, Hannah, and myself is a pressing concern right now, along with finding jeans that fit Ian. If these kids would just stop growing, my life would be a little simpler. But only a little. . . .
