I can see that it has been embarrassingly too long since my last post. Sorry!
Everyone is doing well. Meg is in her 4th year at Phila. Biblical University. She is on track to graduate in Dec '09. Tim is also doing well at Fort Hays State University. This semester he took a 5 credit Chinese course to which we said, "WHAT?!?!" He has surprised everyone and is presently carrying an 'A' average for the course. WOW! Ryan made the basketball team again this year, we love his perseverance, not being one of the most talented players, he goes out and plays with lots of heart. Way to go, Ry.
Karen and I celebrated out 25th wedding anniversary in August of this year. It was especially meaningful in light of Karen's bout with cancer earlier this year. Notes of congratulations should be sent to Karen for putting up with me all these years. We were able to visit with Karen's mom who lives in Florida while we were travelling this fall. I always wanted to see a live wild alligator in person. So one day I took a walk to check out the ponds by Karen's Mom's house. Sure enough at the second pond was a 6-7 foot alligator sunning itself. I was so excited but I didn't have the camera, only the cell phone. So I closed to within 8 feet to take a picture but I spooked it and it went into the water. So the resulting picture is only of its eyes and nostrils sticking out of the water. But hey, I finally got to see my first up close wild alligator. Ryan was upset with me when he found out what I did.
We are looking forward to having everyone home for Christmas this year. We had planned to go to Klemtu this Christmas but Meg and Tim both have to work and earn money for school bills in January. So we will be staying home this year. Meg has already lined up work at the Day Care she worked at this fall. We are so thankful for this.
We hope you enjoy the family picture from August.
If anyone is interested, I have a blog page for a study in Ephesians that I am doing with a local group. It can be found at http://www.scott-on-ephesians.blogspot.com/.
