• Mar. 12, 2008 - March 10 ALREADY?
Who else is astonished at how quickly the months fly by ~ the days however, those seem to last forever! Everyone here is healthy, as in not sick, but we do have issues. Our little ballerina has apparently damaged the interior of her right ankle and is on crutches. We go to the orthopedist tomorrow to find out what needs to be done (walking boot or cast with crutches) and how long (probably a couple of months).
We will also find out if and when she can go back to dance class. Right now it looks like she will not be able to dance in the recital this spring.  She has been dancing for six years and we are both so sad about missing out this spring! Hopefully she will heal completely though and be back in her ballet shoes this summer.
In other news, Preston is going on a missions trip to Ghana, Africa this June. Yeah can you believe it ~ we won't send him to highschool 2 miles away, or drop him off at the movies with his buddies on a Friday night, or let him drive until he is 18 ~ but send him 1/2 way around the world without a parent ~ SURE no problem have fun kiddo! He has raised almost all of his funding (a mere $98 left), gotten (and paid for himself) his passport, a yellow fever shot ("My joints hurt mom!" - just for a day or two!) and is faithfully working on sending out his thank you cards to his donors. We could not be more proud of him. Right now he kind of has the mindset that this will be a cool trip, once in a lifetime kinda thing! But I know he will be so changed by what he experiences - trips like this are life changing. He is going with a great team from our church. You can find out more about what we are doing at our church's website
and following the links to Reach Our World.
Hope you all are well - ta ta for now...
