We've had a fun few days introducing Grandpa to his 8th grandchild, 1st grandson! He's been homeschooling, washing dishes, playing Yahtzee and helping us hold down the growing fort, especially as Matt's been super busy this week with two weeks before school starts!
I keep finding these Lily-view photos on my phone :)
Matt's quiver is full :) Love these sweet ones.
Mark and Marybeth moved to Emmaus on Tuesday from West Africa Theological Seminary (WATS) in Nigeria. After a summer in Atlanta, they're with us for the year, Dr. Mark as the librarian and Dr. Marybeth as the VP for Academics. They got here right in time, and we're thankful to have them on the team!
Dad brought this cooling pad, which is now Ben's favorite place to sleep :)
These girls have finally finished their review and head into final testing next week! We'll be awfully glad when it's all done, though they've been really enjoying the time with their teachers...they both are so blessed to have great teachers this year.
We need to ask for your prayers...before the school year gets started, we need to get to the embassy with Ben to get started on his birth abroad paperwork, on his social security card and his passport. The only US Embassy is in Port-au-Prince, and so on Sunday afternoon, Nora, Ben, Matt and I fly to Port, Dad keeping the girls, and Monday morning at 8 am we have our appointment and will then return that afternoon. We are trusting the Lord with the timing and with all that needs done in a short time. Please pray for us, that the trip would be successful, for Dad's special time with Lily and Sofie, for our time away with Nora and Ben and for things in Port to be as boring as possible. Thank you!
