Time Out

I haven't posted a lot of pictures lately....mainly because I'd be posting pictures of the same thing....SNOW! :) You see it's spring time here...which means we get more snow...except it melts faster than it did a couple of months ago! :) But we're still surrounded by it. Reid surprised me with an evening trip to Denver with our friends Zane and Rachel Black. The first thing that struck me when we got down there...no snow and it was WARM in the evening (in the 50's - we walked around without our winter coats!). It was nice to have a couple of hours just to spend time with our new friends and hear some great music (Chris Tomlin, Christy Nockels, and hear Louie Giglio speak). Meg, who works on staff at Timberline as well, was so sweet to offer to stay with the kids and I think they enjoyed the break from Mom as well! :) It's Ian's spring break this week so we're trying to catch up on a few homework type things (spelling lists, multiplication tables, Latin and piano) but also have fun. It's been nice to have him home during the day as well....he is growing up SO fast and is almost as tall as I am....amazing! All that to say - I realize that blog entries without pictures just aren't as fun so I'll try and take some more over the next few days and post them. The bibleschool students are currently on spring break. They return Thursday I believe and then we all hunker down for a few more weeks of classes and regular schedule until graduation week in May. It's always a sad and exciting time all mixed together. I remember as a kid, struggling each year when it was time for the students to leave - and being very excited in the fall when the new group came in. We're making some decisions regarding school for Ian in particular over the next few weeks and would appreciate your prayers for that as well. We're pretty certain that he won't be attending the local middle school, for various reasons. Ian really wants to attend the Christian classical school at the church we attend. They participate in a yearly history competition that he's very interested in learning more about. We're waiting to see what doors God opens up over the next few weeks. On our house that we're renting/house-sitting here in CO, our landlord told us that it looks like the sale to the interested buyer will go through but that it will probably be 4-6 months or so before it is final. So we are here for the time being and trust the Lord to show us the next step. We did have someone look at our hosue in Columbia yesterday and are waiting to hear if they were interested. Thanks for your prayers! Love, Jennifer
