6 Miles

Well, of all the lost things, I can say I found my shoes!

We canceled the debit card and I'm getting a new one. Since it's lost, it's a $5 charge. But I was able to go to the bank & deposit the checks today, when it was open (boy are we spoiled by ATMs!). (Well, now that I think of it I could have used the night deposit box, I forgot about it!)

I bought a new camera cord today so I was able to download the 180+ pictures off my camera and get them organized. Sadly, the new cord was $29–Yuck! I'll be much more careful with that cord! And if I find the old one (as I'm sure I will), at least I'll have a second one now!

I was able to get most of the database updated and pictures loaded for the MOPS directory. Tomorrow will be the printing & putting together day. The boys are excited to go with me to the church while I make copies. I'm glad they're excited and not dreading it.

We had our team meeting for Kenya tonight. I felt pretty prepared for it–we didn't have as much time to talk about the VBS as I'd like, but several questions and jobs were filled. It's great to go to the meetings, I start to feel excited about the trip again. I know we didn't get letters out to everyone again. We created a group on Facebook–if you're a part of that and not listed as a friend you can request either James or I and then find out more.  We are going to try to send out update letters to people who are not apart of that group.  Right now we're asking for prayer as we prepare and get ready to go. I'm starting to get a tiny bit concerned about Alex and his lack of sleeping through the night (usually it's because he wants to snuggle me) and what he's going to do when I'm not around those 2 weeks. James hopes it'll help break him of the habit.  BUT–I do feel better leaving him now then I did last year…while time is still a hard concept for him to grasp, he will at least understand more that we're going to be gone and we're coming back. Not sure how much of that he would have gotten last year.  I know it'll be easier for his Aunt/Uncle to care for him. And thankfully his Aunt will be in the 2nd Trimester of her pregnancy so she won't be as tired–God has great timing!
