School's Back in Session!

School started yesterday and this is how they felt about it.........HA!
It was Mason's first day of Middle School and he loved it. His locker is on the bottom which stinks but he has many of his friends in his classes. The first 9 weeks he has computer and Art as his specials. We were disappointed that Chance didn't get in his class but he does get to see him at lunch. Now Landon's first response when I picked him up was "Is it too late to be homeschooled?" I said "what happened?" and he said "we had to run around the gym 5 times in PE and every time we go to PE we're going to have to do it more and more"......that's so Landon!!
Sporting their Alabama backpacks...>Roll Tide Baby!!!
We are the proud owners of another 7 passenger van....whoo-hoo! Last year, Mike was pretty passionate about selling our van and purchasing a car with better gas milage because our gas bill was outrageous. We purchased a used 2008 Dodge Avenger which has been great for gas milege but the boys have been soooooo uncomfortable in it. Haven is still in a car seat and will be for a while because she is still at 33lbs.....Anyway, an older couple in our church had a van that they wanted to sell (we heard about in May). Course I wanted it right away but in trying to be good stewards of what God has given us, we felt we needed to wait on the house to sell before even talking to them about it. The couple ended up buying a new vehicle last week and were ready to sell so we had to jump on before they sold to someone else. It is a 2003 Chev. Venture with 52,000 on it, almost as much as our Avenger has on it!! It's in excellent condition with low miles and they gave us a great deal on it...so Praise God! The boys are very, very thankful for it.

So now we have an 08 Avenger for sale! Pray that we'll sell it soon and if we can just get out house sold, we'll be debt free!
Speaking about the house, there is an offer coming and I'm pretty sure we'll be taking it. Please pray for God's provision as we get this house off of our hands! It's not the amount we need but we will trust God to help us.....-Lori

Hey, I looked just like Landon and Mason this week because our classes started back too! Look on the bright side, the Fall is a beautiful time and college and high school football starts soon.
