october newsletter just went out…
summer rain
I had forgotten about these pictures. They’re a few weeks old.
The kids, I think, had forgotten about rain alltogether.
It’s been awhile.
And as an added bonus… my niece Allie (and her Mama) were trapped on my porch till it passed..

We were officially invited to join the ReachGlobal team!
Those of you who get our monthly newsletters know what a huge answer to prayer this is, and how much preparation went in to it! We’re thankful for all of you who have prayed for us, and shared in our excitement.
What this means now is that we’re jumping in to the next phase: ministry partnership development. Equal parts awesome and scary, I think.
Lots more to write about that, but for now I wanted to point your attention to a few things:
- There’s a new tab at the top of this page: Support Team. There you’ll find links to our sending church and missions agency, if you’d like more information. You can also fill out a form to let us know you’re praying for us, or to express interest in teaming with us financially.
- To your right I’ve added a button. It links directly to reachglobal’s online giving page. If I did it correctly, our name and donor number should already be entered on the form. Donations are tax-deductible.
- We started a facebook page. You can follow us by clicking “like” here: http://www.facebook.com/caseyandaliciainmexicocity

cubbies
team green
Miss Penelope started Cubbies a few weeks ago.
It’s the strangest thing. She love, love, loves that sort of stuff at home – playing, singing, doing crafts – but doesn’t so much love it there. We were really surprised, but probably shouldn’t have been. She’s the kind of kid that takes her time adjusting to new things, and this is new. Her teachers and helpers are really patient with her, even when she’s hard to figure out. Or. Um. Gets overwhelmed and locks herself in the bathroom. (Just file that away with the “you wouldn’t believe my friend” chronicles..)
If you have a second, and you think of it, would you pray for her? It’s hard seeing her struggle with something that ought to be fun. Casey’s got it figured out.. he thinks that it’d probably be best if she just stayed at home with us forever. But I’m pretty sure that’s part of the crazy that comes over fathers of daughters…
Any getting-your-kid-to-love-or-even-just-tolerate-awana tips are warmly welcomed :).
the funniest joke ever.
if you’re a three, that is.
monkey see, monkey do
picture of the day
Why not wear footie pajamas and a cubbies vest?
It seems reasonable enough attire for “playing train.”
My favorite part? When Penelope plays train… she’s actually the train.

wash these dishes for me!
straight away!
but then when they actually need to be washed..
and you have a very busy little boy…
a high-chair, plastic containers, water, and a window, are especially handy.
