Our house closed today so we are saying an official goodbye to our home in Colorado. Bittersweet. Lots of fun and happy memories there. To everything there is a season.
Thank you all for your prayers- God has been so faithful to us and it is truly a testament that our house sold in such a short time.
You are all a blessing to us and we love ya!

Have you ever been to Boston in the fall?
A fabulous Veggie Tales line!
Seriously, beautiful weather today. 65, sunny, and the leaves just beginning to change ever so slightly. The camp is so quiet these days with the campers and staff all gone! We enjoy our walks after dinner :)
The kids have been in school about a month now and are doing well. Making friends and adjusting. They're so flexible. We're very proud of them.
It's been interesting taking a year off from teaching. I feel like I should keep getting up at 5:30am, and working like a madwoman all day! I've enjoyed the little part time job I have and I'm working on "bringing it down a level" and not going 100 mph all day. It's harder than I thought! I don't think I'll retire- I'll just drop dead in a classroom at the age of 95 or something!
It's been fun reconnecting with some friends through Facebook- yes, I joined the ranks. It really is such an easy way to stay connected, although I have to make sure I don't spend my days hanging out with my cyber friends and not the actual human beings around me :)
Hope you all have a blessed weekend and I look forward to hearing how God is working in your lives. If you are in Colorado- PLEASE tell the 300 Clubhouse kids how much we miss them and worshipping with them!

Gone with the Wind
Hi
It's a beautiful day in Sharon, MA today! Blustery and warm. The lake looks beautiful with a little bit of white caps and the trees blowing in the wind. I was supposed to do alot of housework this morning but said "Nah" and went for a walk! A good choice I think!
In church yesterday, the pastor referenced a passage of scripture from Leviticus that resonated with me. The scripture is about the faithfulness of God and how His faithfulness is new every morning. It's one of those verses and sermons that came at just the right time. Knowing God's will is great, walking through it isn't always "easy breezy" as Matthew would say.
So, although I do have days that I miss my Colorado family so much that my heart hurts, God is doing a new thing. Pray for Mike and the kids too as they are adjusting to this "new thing" that God is doing in them as well!
Thanks for all your prayers. I plan on uploading some pictures next weekend.

Hurricane Hanna
Hannah is thrilled that the hurricane heading to the East coast is named Hurricane Hanna! She said the hurricane is mad because people are spelling Hannah wrong...
So, quite the summer we had. So many new things to get used to and people to get to know. We finally were all moved into our house the beginning of August. Camp is all consuming so it was hard to get anything done! It's "all good" now though :)
The kids started school last week and are doing well. Continue to pray for them as they navigate public school life. We are very blessed though in that it's an excellent school system and they have pretty strict discipline and high standards. Besides the regular courses, Matthew is also taking Chinese! The district requires the students learn Mandarin Chinese beginning in 1st grade. Hannah is thrilled that she has drama, art, band, pe, and a club factored into her schedule! Now she doesn't have to pick one or two things. She's doing really well.
Mike loves his job and loves living in New England again. I'm still not working for now and seeing how God will lead!
We're still seeking a church so please pray with us about that. Also pray for a spiritual breakthrough here in New England. I know it's coming, but I'm hoping sooner rather than later!
Well, I need to get Hannah from school. Please feel free to leave a comment or email! I'll try to update at least once a week.
Blessings to you all. We miss you so very much.
