Well, catching up...Kamp Kidney was awesome! Lifechurch.tv had about 20 people volunteer and we almost had more helpers than campers. The kids were so supportive of each other. The theme this year was Encouragement, so they were encouraged to encourage! One of the most touching things someone said was that coming to camp is like being with family; that everyone excepts each other and no one is made fun of for being different. Many of the campers have End Stage Renal Disease for kidney failure so they do dialysis three times a week. Other campers are on Peritoneal Dialysis and brought their machines with them to dialyze overnight. My first time fly fishing and I caught one, thanks to our great fishing instructor Randy.
I came home from camp with a bit of a sickness. The first night home I had a fever and some extreme tiredness. Four days later, I couldn't seem to kick the sleepiness and began to think there was something wrong. I took two naps in one day and decided either I needed to call the doctor or I needed to take a pregnancy test. So I took a test and we are expecting baby number 4! What a blessing to come home from serving the Lord AGAIN and come up with another baby. Baby no. 3 came after my trip to Honduras. So it shouldn't have been a surprise, but God likes to surprise me. We are so excited. The oldest two are very happy about the baby in my tummy and talk to him/her. By the way we are calling it Quatro for now.
So the bookstore is open but I don't have anything set up for selling and I've been so exhausted that it just hasn't gotten done. I expect to begin work on it when I'm over the tired stage. I'm still very excited about it and I hope that it will all come together at the right time.
We started school and are in the third week. So far it's been good with a few bumps and a few complaints like, "I don't want to do school!" Is anybody with me? This year our time spent doing school has doubled but it doesn't feel like it to me. I love the schedule I put together but we aren't doing all of it right now. I knew I was putting a lot into it but since I didn't know what would and would not work I just cut out what we don't want to do and the important stuff still gets done.
Back to work!

Well, sweetie! Congrats on Quatro! What a funny way to find out.
I hear the same kind of complaints. Today I offered to let the oldest head off to school where there weren't any toys. :-) She declined.
Have a great School year!!
