A fun series: Part 1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4, and 4 of 4

We have had a great time doing this blog. Sometimes we have a ton of stuff to say, and sometimes we only post about twice a month - ha! But one thing is for sure - we have a good time and we make ourselves laugh! It really is a stress reliever. Yesterday at the end of the school day Nicole and I were working on a post we will be putting up next week and could barely contain ourselves. We were laughing our heads off! Sometimes I wish we could actually narrate each picture with our voices, but it's probably a good thing we can't - lol!

Ailyn's Grandpa

On Sunday Ailyn, our most faithful little Sunday school student, brought her grandpa to church!

After the preaching, Ailyn grabbed his hand and brought him up to the altar. He knelt down and they both prayed for a good, long while. It was the sweetest thing!

Starting Year #3

I can't believe we are starting our third year of school! It doesn't seem like very long ago that we were just finding out that Mexico's law had changed and we could start a school. We are still setting up in the church, but it looks like we will be getting a school in the next year or so! Plans are in the works!

This is what is happening right now - Nicole teaching the first English lesson of the year. The kids are doing surprisingly well! It doesn't sound like they've forgotten much over the summer.

We have a lot of fun things planned for this school year and are looking forward to sharing it all on here. We had a great summer, but both Nicole and I are so so so relieved to be getting back to "normal life". Vacation is nice, but we have been missing the routine of school, and having a purpose in our day - lol! Also, fall is on it's way - allergy season is ending soon! Hallelujah!

Five Years Blogging! (SAY WHAT?!)

Happy 5th blog anniversary to us!

On August 17, 2009 we wrote our first blog post. Wow!

Please leave us a comment if.....

1. You have enjoyed anything on this blog in the past 5 years.
2. If you'd like to see another 5 years, let us know!
3. You don't want to see another five years.... Hehe...

"Fired up, ready to go!"

(I'm so glad they chose a good picture of us for this protest sign....whew!)

How touching! 

As you can see, the people are bound to keep us blogging! 

As for me and my house, we would like to see another five years! There most likely will be some new family members in these next years, probably some new pets, new saints, new ain'ts, new experiences. I'm excited to hear what I have to say - haha!

Thank you to all of our followers, faithful and unfaithful. We appreciate you all!

Jack Got Hit By a Car...

...and as the car drove by, I gave the driver a thumbs up! We knew Jack was bound to get hit sooner or later, with the way he runs in the street without looking for cars, but we only hoped that when it happened, it wouldn't kill him. We were all standing in front of the house unloading things from the van when it happened, and watched when at the last second, Jack jumped off the sidewalk and darted in front of the car. The driver - our neighbor - slammed on his breaks, but Jack still got a pretty jolting hit and was pushed a couple of feet. Jack looked stunned for a second then started ferociously lunging at the car like it was the culprit! Lol! I went to talk to our neighbor after it happened to thank him for helping teach our really dumb dog a lesson. And for not killing him :)

Jack is doing just fine and hasn't had any more run ins with cars. Let's hope he's learned his lesson for good now!

Here are some pictures of Jack after he got in a dog fight...(he started it - I'm telling you, he's dumb!)

Good Things Happening Across Town

A few weeks ago we went to church across town. Abner preached...

There was an awesome move of God and this young lady got the Holy Ghost! 

The little girl in pink got the Holy Ghost as well! 

I got to watch Eliana pray for the first time...it was precious!
