Staying "afloat" ;)

Lots going on since we got home from our trip. Back into the swing of work which has meant working some night shifts for me. :/ I have struggled to get enough hours when our census drops since I am PRN, so I have had to work some night shifts lately in order to get hours.

We also have lots of activities and events for the youth and children. We took some youth and kids from our church to Magic Springs (Amusement Park) here in Hot Springs for the youth day called Uprising this past Saturday. More on that later. We also have a clean up day this Saturday at our church before our Back to School Bash the following Saturday, followed by a cake auction to raise money for the youth ministry. We are trying to outreach and are back in a new semester of Wed. night activities. I am teaching the kids and Adam is teaching the youth. We are working on other community volunteering/ outreach.. which will hopefully include tutoring at the Boy's and Girl's Club and mentoring at the local schools.

In the midst of all of that, GRACE STARTED 3 YEAR OLD PRESCHOOL last week!! :) She couldn't be happier! She loves it and we love it too. It is at St. Luke's (Episcopal) Day School. More on that later too! :)

Adam's parents also got here yesterday and will be able to stay with us a full week! :) We are enjoying the time with them too.

We are grateful for each and every one of these opportunities!!! :)
