- Riley, last week had a knee injury playing basketball and likely re-tore his ACL. He had ACL recontsruction done in 2005. So he is on crutches for some of the holidays - hoping to be at least walking by Januaury...
- Riley also finished his first semester as Dean of Students at CLBI - it has been good and affirming. We know that at this time in our lives we are supposed to be here!
- Had 5 Christmas concerts in the last week! It was awesome and crazy busy but I did manage to videotape everyone of them for the grandparents and aunties and uncles!!
- We had our 7th annual christmas party and along with donations from our Saskatoon friends we raised 500 dollars for an organization out of Haiti! So much food and fun with 65 people in the house...
-we are healthy for Christmas. All of us had the flu in December but are all recovered - hope this is the last of it!
-AND...all of our necessary dossier documents have been sent to our agency - and they made it!! Woohoo!!! Our homestudy will be sent to the province tomorrow for approval (can take up to 6 weeks...ughh). We are praying for a much speedier approval and hope for February to get all of our paperwork to Ethiopia! We are so excited to have our children home and looking forward to the year and seeing what it brings....
I am sure there are many more things but that has been some of the highlights! Have a blessed Christmas....
