I am sorry it has taken so long to post!  Things have been a little crazy over here!  We have been remodeling our church building getting it ready to have our first official service this Sunday November 16th.  It is almost done!!  You won't truly appreciate it unless you saw it before we did all of the work.  It is going to be nice to be in our own building and it's only about 1.5 miles from our house.  So I will try to be more on top of things in the future!  

The Fam is doing good.  Elindsey has been busy with school.  She is the manager of the student store and President of the Business Club.  She has been designing some school t-shirts that they are going to be selling at the store.  One of he classes voted her most likely to become president.  I think she has other plans........     :)  Levi is getting ready for basketball.  Practice is officially starting this monday the 17th.  After football season ended we took him to the doctor for an injury that had occurred about 6 weeks prior during football.  We discovered that he had 2 highgrade hamstring strains with some some tearing involved. Worse of course because he continued to play on it when he shouldn't have been.  He has been going to physical therapy to heal it up and strengthen it.  He is doing much better now.  Drew is discovering the meaning of homework this year.  He has had more than any of our kids did in the 5th grade.  He is having to work on his organizational skills!!  Alek is doing great.  At his conference his teacher said she wished all her kids were just like him!! Olivia is her usual self!!  She has been a big help with the remodeling while her siblings are all at school.  We are all great over here and miss you all a bunch.  Looking forward to going home for Christmas!!!
