For the compulsive checkers...

OK. Not really much to update, but I hate to think of those of you who check the blog frequently looking again and finding nothing.

Help me out and send me some questions or suggestions for blog topics please.

Campus quiet this week but next week will be hosting a large Compassion event.

While the Michigan cousins remain on summer break, we started week seven of our school year. I'm planning on completing up Eli's paperwork for college applications this week having submitted the academic referral on-line Monday.

Cory continues to make good progress on the Creole agricultural book and turned over some of the devotionals to Met. Alert as he will help with the final editing.

Anna's 14-day fever cleared on Saturday, and her cough continues to improve as well. Very thankful for her return to health.

More interesting days coming ahead...

• Two Seven days before Dan and Joy arrive to bring new teammates Dr. Bob and Marcia up for a few weeks of Creole study. [Lord willing]
• In 14 days, Eli will turn a year older. [He sent in his college application this week!]
• In 23 days, we will celebrate our move to Haiti, 16 years ago.
• Lord willing, 128 days before family arrives for Christmas. [Anna's counting]

The most exciting event to be added to our calendar, we cannot count down to yet. We continue to wait on our adoption referral and getting to schedule our two-week bonding trip. Folks keep saying referrals should start soon but no evidence yet.
