Since we're making a great effort to post once a month [ahem], we thought we better get a move on it before November is over. ;) Actually, life for our family has been very busy, very full, and very...well, challenging lately. So we have some pretty good excuses for not blogging (we always do, you know!).
Finishing up the last large event at the ITC left the staff here worn pretty thin. Our family somehow managed to avoid the flu that kept numerous people here in their beds for days, so we thought that we would have somewhat of a respite for a few days before jumping headlong into more work and event preparation! But then we received news of the death of our dear Great-Grandfather and made sudden, unexpected plans to head to Pennsylvania for a few days to attend the funeral and be with Josh, Suzi, and our extended family... We all (except for Stef and Sara, who stayed behind because of work responsiblities) greatly enjoyed being away and visiting those we love best back home!
And then this last weekend we had the delightful privilege of visiting our dear friends in Chicago! We were almost not going to go--as exhausted as we all were, trying our very hardest to keep our bodies from getting sick, and having just traveled so far!--but we're so grateful that we did! It was a very restful, encouraging time for our family...we are always so blessed by the friendship and hospitality of the Paine family!
Some pictures of the Heagy Homestead and the happy little children who live there...how we all miss them!
"Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are toward us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered... Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love they salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified." Ps. 40:5, 16
