Hello everyone. So the holiday season is upon us in all it's splendor. My house is being bombed with toy catalogs and I cringe when I think of the dollar bills escaping my kung-fu grip because of Christmas, Birthdays, Anniversaries etc. Alas, it is a fun time of year gathering with family and friends. Reflecting on the year gone by and the one that is ever creeping up reminding us that we are one year older, wiser and one step closer to Him. My boys really enjoyed Halloween this year. The chruch threw a great Harvest party and the boys went out with Misty and the neighbors while I was at class. As you can see Reese was a little frogman and Grant was a Ninja. Misty and I have decided to dress up next year. Any suggestions!?

Misty and I were able to attend the MBC&S bonfire recently. It was a chilly night so everyone made sure to stay close to the flames. It was a great time to see all the students rally around the college and the vison God has for thier lives as students preparing for God's leading. I'm anxiously awaiting my mid-term test score. I believe I did well but long to see the actual grade.

Things continue to go well for us here. We had some folks over the other night for a great time of fellowship. It was our first time opening our house to non-related "family" and we had so much fun. We can't wait to do it again really soon. What a blessing it is to be part of the body of Christ. I can't help but think of that song that says "Friends are friends forever, if the Lord is the Lord of them". We thank God for the relationships we are currently forging and the ones He has instore for in the future.

That's all for now. As always...we thank you for your continual prayers and are so encouraged by the comments that are left. See you soon...

Andrew, Misty, Grant and Reese
