September has come to a close and I have posted nothing on the blog. So sorry... I have had about 20 posts written in my head but this month has been so crazy I'm surprised I really know what end is up! Thank you for giving me grace in this. And here is a sampling of some of the fun things we slipped in with all the crazy moving. I will be trying to post weekly during our ICC training in Waxhaw to keep you updated in October :)

I have started taking cooking classes with my dear friend Jacqui to help me prepare for cooking from scratch in the jungle.

John and I went to Southport, NC for a weekend after our big move to celebrate our 10 year Anniversary

the cute bikes we got to ride around town

Sweet picture with my man... although I really look super short here, what happened?

Banner and Nori with Lexi and Reni at the Mexico Museum at JAARS

One last year at Festival in the Park to get elephant ears (fried dough smothered in butter and cinnamon sugar!)

With the Lyes, checking out our friend Katie's art work

Driving the corn stalk mules. Fortunately they stopped so that Tom could climb on.

it took John 3 hours to find his way out of this kids hay maze ;)

Nori: "Hey Mom, look it's like the house we will live in at PNG!"... no really it's not :)

Banner in the corn... I have since found a lot of corn in my dryer!

Private apple picking party. You can tell that this was early in the venture because the kids are still carrying the apple bags.

A Family photo...something of a rare find!
