Laura started teaching today at Williamsburg Christian Academy (where Travis and Mayra attended). She will be teaching 3rd and 6th period History to the 8th graders for the next month while the school finds a permanent teacher. Should be an exciting time but she will enjoy getting to know the kids. Two of them are from Ukraine so perhaps she will learn a little Russian on the side.

Travis came home for the first time since he left for Liberty University in mid August. We hadn't heard much him from so we knew he was having a great time and getting adjusted to his new independence at college. He brought 2 of his friends with him, David and Julie, and we enjoyed meeting them and making sure they had some good home cooked meals for which they were extremely grateful. We think the visit was actually to do some laundry however we just enjoyed being able to give him a hug and let him know we think about him often. Of course we would love to hear from him a little more often (hint hint, Travis) but understand the fun things at college are much more exciting than calling your parents. They attended church with us this morning and then they were off to see the womens national soccer team play in Richmond. We sent him off with some goodies so he is now stocked up until the next the time.

Fun with the Morrow children

Rob and I have been keeping the 3 youngest Morrow children (they have 9 all together) since Sunday and we have enjoyed the house full of laughter and giggles. They are great children and well behaved most of time. McKenzie is 8 and in the 2nd grade. We have done hair and picked out clothes to wear and read "Little House in the Big Woods" each night with great excitement. Ryland is 6 and in 1st grade. He gets his homework done in a flash and loves to do crafts and build things nad play with his action figures. Alexander is the youngest but will tell he is not"the baby"; He is a big boy. He loves to watch the Land Before Time movies and will talk to whomever he comes across on the playground. He is quite the chatter box but doesn't like to go to bed (what 4 year old does). Laura has enjoyed spoiling them to pieces and will look forward to thier visiting every once in a while after they go home (they live 3 doors down from us). Rob likes to make the boys laugh and talk with McKenzie but its back to a quite house after today. More fun will be on its way when we get our Ukranian kids so in the mean time we just borrow other peoples kids to spoil for a while.
