Isaac has a almost unhealthy attachment to a stuffed elephant, but it is just SO adorable when he looks around for it, can't find it & says, "Where elephant? Where elephant?".
Tonight I picked up Sang & 2 of his Korean friends from ArtPrize downtown & had to drop off Kerri before dropping off the boys. She said, "adios" to which all three Korean boys said "adios!" in unison. Maybe you had to be there, but it was funny.
I cleaned out a closet that I haven't really utilized properly since moving in here. My vacuum cleaner now has a home.
I'm drinking my first cup of hot chocolate this fall. Yummy.

One more down, a few more to go
I just sent off our last payment to St. Mary's for Isaac's labor & delivery. That only took 20 months. :) One more debt to cross off the list! Unfortunetly we had to add another debt this month to pay for Marc's semester. :(
Next month we'll take that extra $50 and add it to our next smallest debt. Ahh, the joy of pulling one more chain off & feeling the tiniest bit more free.

Pictures
Saturday evening, Marc & I took our nephews, Noah & Levi, to Craig's Cruisers as their birthday present. We played mini-golf, the boys all went on the go-karts, Noah & Marc did the high ropes while Levi & I earned 107 tickets from all the games we played! It was such a fun night out with all the boys! Made me realize how crazy my sisters life is going to be come December when her 3rd boy is born! Geesh!
Saturday morning Noah had his first soccer game. While they didn't exactly win, or even come close, I think Noah had fun.
It was just over a week ago when kerri & I took this pic before the start of our race! By the way, if you happen to see the article in the Press on 9/12, I was in the picture of the swimmers in pink caps!
If you haven't met him yet, this is Sangjeong Kim (Sang), our exchange student. He's been fantastic & we're really enjoying him in the house. We're trying to get Isaac to learn his name, but for now he calls him "jung". Poor Sang.By the way- answers to the John quiz are posted below. Leave a comment & let me know how you did!

Needing Prayer
We got a letter today from the Housing Commission stating that our tennant has not met the requipements for section 8 any longer. This means that as of 9/28 she will need to be out & we will have to get in, clean & repair and try to find another tennant.
September is a very busy month in youth ministry, and adding this stress is overwhelming, not only with our time, but also finances. I'm truly trusting God during this time and will wait to see how he is going to work through this. I would greatly appreciate prayers though.
