Instead of a blackbird on her arm, Ginny had one on her cheek
Every superhero needs his symbol on his cheek

ACU HOMECOMING
Sunday, October 19, 2009
Saturday morning Carol (Jeff’s mom), Ginny and I headed to Abilene for our alma mater’s homecoming. It was Carol’s 40th reunion year and my 10th reunion year. At 9:30 we watched the parade and Ginny filled her pockets with candy. Next we went to chapel and then lunch. In the afternoon we cheered for the Wildcats at the football game and in the evening we had a class dinner. We had 180 come back! It was fun to reconnect. I received two door prizes – one for traveling the farthest to attend and for having the most kids!

ARKANSAS

After a 10 hour drive Tuesday we arrived in Jonesboro, Arkansas. We knew the Carusos because 4 years ago they came down to Paraguay to teach the kids during our annual Spiritual Life Conference. Tuesday evening they hosted a small group meeting for us to share about our ministry. Wednesday we took the kids to the firehouse for a tour.

ILLINOIS
Monday, October 12, 2009
Sunday we drove to Illinois and spent a night with friends we knew in Harlingen. They have added two boys to their family.
Monday we drove to Wheaton to visit a missionary family who is also on furlough. The Hawthornes are missionaries in Bolivia and in 2004 we stayed a month with them in their small rural village. We were also able to visit with the Knudson’s who we also met on that trip. Monday afternoon we went to downtown Chicago and rode up (on the fastest elevator in the world) the Willis (Sears) Tower. There’s a 5 foot wide SkyDeck (widows on all 5 sides) that sticks out of the tower and allows you to step out of the building for a breath-taking, heart-stopping view straight down! I was surprised that Micah would even get close to it because he sometimes gets scared crossing bridges when he can look down and see the water. He loved laying belly-down on the floor and looking down!

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY TYLER!
Sunday, October 10, 2009
We are in Indiana visiting friends. We knew John in college and he then he and Jeff roomed together in Lubbock during Jeff’s first year of med school and John’s first year of law school. It has been about 9 years since we’ve seen him. He is now married and has a beautiful 6 month baby girl.
Tyler celebrated his birthday in Indiana. I am convinced that nothing says “Welcome to America” like a trip to Chuck E Cheese. My kids do not remember ever going to anything like it before so this was a real treat complete with tokens, tickets pizza and prizes.
