Well, everyone has gone back to their homes. Scott and Nykia took Memaw and She-She back to the airport at about 3am this morning. We really had a good time together and they sure were alot of help. We should be in Kilgore on the 13th of Oct.. We are planning a birthday party for Cale that next Sat.. I believe it is actually her birthday. Oct. 18th. Someone else's birthday is just around the corner. It's the big 40!!!! Maybe we can plan a dual party for Cale and Dad!




The second house at the children's home is complete. The new set of parents have move in and we are awaiting the arrival of new children. Please be in pray for these new parents as the adjust to life with 12 children. We feel the house will be filled to capacity very quickly.




Please pray for the Tripps and us. We will be attending a Mission conference together in Sachse, TX. Pray for us both as we travel.




We will be also hosting a Bazaar Oct. 3rd and 4th at the international church. This will be a way for the ladies in the village next to the Children's Home to earn money for their families. They will be selling things that they have made.




We will also be having our second Harvest Festival! I'm excited about this. Last year the kids had a really good time. This is our safe alternative to Halloween!

Many Visitors

Sunday at Anslee's dedication.
Memaw made all 3 girls a dress to match!!

We have had many visitors since little Anslee has been born. Nana and Grampy came for about a week and a half. They had to leave a little early because of Hurricane Ike! They made it home safe and sound. Memaw and SheShe arrived a week ago and plan to stay another week. We have enjoyed all the help while I'm trying to recover from the c-section. I'm feeling really good! Recovering really well. We took everyone to visit the children's home on Monday. I think it was really neat for them to actually see what is being done here in Saltillo. They were impressed with the progress that has been made. Everything here is settling down from a fast and furious summer. Getting back into the swing of our daily home schedule. Hope you all have a good day!
