Good afternoon,

This week has been so crazy. We have been painting the boys' room and continuing to pack totes. The tower of totes are taking over the place. (smile)

A couple of things that I would like to ask you to pray for:
*is a place to rent in Ohio. God knows exactly what we need and would like. He is our provider.

*Continue to pray for the exact renters for our current home. We have 3 possibilities that are praying over it. Pray that God would send the right one and give us discernment to know.

*Scott is suppose to work in Marquette next week. Lela and the boys will be home alone to continue the work on the house AND to pack for the family vacation for the following week.

*For the family vacation to Myrtle Beach and harmony as we will be sharing close living quarters with other family members.

*For Matthew. On Wednesday, September 5th (Shaughn's 16th birthday), Matthew will be having surgery on his elbow. The MRI showed a big piece of cartilage that has chipped off of his bone and is floating around in there and causing great pain. They will make 4 incisions to remove it and stitch him up and send him home. He will go back the following week to get the stitches removed.

*Scott is going in on Friday, September 7th (Jeremiah's 5th birthday) and having his preliminary exam done to see if he is a candidate for Lazik eye surgery.

Are you getting how we are celebrating our children's birthday's this year?? ha ha
