October 2014

School is going well - we are REALLY enjoying our science study of sea creatures.
The kids and I started up our fall visits to the Barton House this month.  There are several new residents and we found out that Ellen, the activities director, will be retiring in November.  Our Home Fellowship organized our bi-annual meal at Neighborhood Ministries.  Micah and Lilly get so excited for this night.  We served dinner in the 1st grade classroom this time.
This was the year for our church's Mission Festival.  Over 40 of our 50 missionaries were able to attend.  Our dear friends, Willy & Marilina Vega, and their children, came from Malaysia/Argentina.  We made great memories visiting with them, playing with them, and hanging out with them!
As we wrapped up the month, he kids and I went to Schnepf Farms for their pumpkin festival.  It was a beautiful day walking through the corn stalks, riding in the hay wagon, and picking out pumpkins.  We re-kindled some neighborhood relationships on Halloween night as we walked the up and down our street dressed up and socializing.
