Happy 2nd Birthday Ryder Scott!! Being an aunt to two of the most adorable boys I know is one of the greatest roles I get to play these days. I get to play cars, building blocks, trains, Sorry!, tackle football, and Wii as well as watch endless cartoons all weekend long when they visit and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I miss them tons but I am so excited that they were able to skype me in for Ryder’s birthday party today. It was great getting to see some of my family and see Ryder blow out his candles and open some presents – just like being there (almost)! I can’t wait to get home in five weeks and see what new things both boys have learned, especially Ryder who was finally starting to talk more when I left.
This is the first weekend we haven’t had any big plans here so we are spending the time studying for the first of our two exams when we return to Kentucky in December. Emily will also be taking the time to recuperate. Mark, Seth, and Emily were playing basketball Thursday night when Emily sprained her ankle. She took the day off yesterday due to being unable to bear weight on it but today she is able to put some weight on it and walk with the use of just one crutch. Hopefully she will be back to a healthy status by Monday for our last week in OB, otherwise she will be going to get it x-rayed to see if she might have fractured it. Prayers for Emily, everyone!
It’s been a busy day full of studying, eating, playing cards, and skyping (I also got to meet my best friend’s new daughter, Claire, via video chat – I love the internet!) Tomorrow morning Mark is getting up to make us all some eggs so we can eat more than our daily cereal or toast and then we will go to another wonderful church service here at Tenwek. After thinking over how great our time has been here, especially being able to enjoy a day like today, I am reminded of a verse that we sing often at church (usually as kids) and that just so happened to be part of our discussion this week at bible study. Hope everyone’s weekend is as wonderful as ours!
God bless!
