6 months

THIS girl is somehow 6 months old today!  I don't know how it's possible, but I do know that she brings us all a lot of joy.

I mean, who wouldn't want to cook dinner for 11 if this girl was helping you?

This is a super busy week with our last week of intensive sessions before residential courses (and teaching) begin again, trying to do all kinds of balancing and reporting and budgeting while our CFO-slash-dear friend is in her last week, and Wednesday is our big commissioning service for our first year class...each of them inviting 3 family members.  Saturday, all the visitors go, our OMS team heads to the Dominican Republic for annual retreat with Matt, Lily and Sofie, and I head to Philly (brrrrrrr....PLEASE be warm by then!) with Nora to spend Adam's first week back to work with my sister and sweet nieces (and we might as well get Nora some vaccinations while we're at it, right?) 

Next week is Mardi Gras (remember last year?), and of course the president's term expires on February 7th, and with the new election having been cancelled several times, the politics of this weekend and next week could be...

Please be praying for this time our little family has apart, and for safety in travel for all of us.
