Texas

Anyone who has seen the news knows about Hurrican Ike and that has been the focus here for the last few days. Steve was in Houston working until Thursday morning when they decided it was time for him to come home. We watched the weather carefully because they were unsure how much of a storm we would get here. We were spared though and only got some rain. I was very saddened to see the pictures from Galveston and Houston. We visited just a few weeks ago and to see so much destruction breaks my heart. Our prayers are with those on the Texas coast.

Friday Night Lights

The stadium was packed on the home side and excitement was in the air. It was our football opener against Eastern Hills. Chris was on the field, he is #86 and Stephy was cheering on the sidelines. The sense of community is amazing and you run into friends all night long. The best part is we won 38 to 14.

Back to School

This last Monday was back to school. Getting up early was the challenge since we had been sleeping in all summer. This is the last year of elementary school for the twins and I am a little sad about that. Stephy is going to be extremely busy this year. She has a full load of advanced placement classes, Rough Rider Posse, and Debate Club. She also is working at the church nursery on Sundays and Wednesday nights. Our goal as her parents is to help her keep a good balance. We are looking forward to a good school year for all.
