Things are going well...

Praise the Lord!! The dentist is giving us a discount with Matthew's tooth. Instead of costing us $625 he is only charging us $300. Yeah!! He spent 1 1/2 hours in the dentist chair last week and they had to rebuild his tooth using 2 metal rods inserted into his tooth and built up around it to make the tooth big enough to be able to put the partial and then permanent tooth onto. All is going well so far with that whole process. He gets his permanent one on July 10th.

Scott found out this week that he is scheduled to go to Mobile Alabama to do an engine school. A couple of the guys went while he was in Alaska and now he and one other MMS guy is going in October. Their scheduled dates are October 20-24th. This class costs $750 and comes out of our one time fee that we had to raise. Airfare and hotel expenses will be added to that and all. He is very excited! It is with Continental Engines (something like that) and they learn engine overhauls. He is not sure of his leaving and returning details as that is still being done through MMS and we have not been told.

The boys are doing well. We have been trying to set up all of the details of our Michigan trip and get things into place. Scott and I are suppose to have a Sanctuary Weekend this coming up weekend but the folks who had agreed to watch our boys and since planned other things. So, I have been trying to figure out folks to watch them. The trouble is most of the MMS women are going to a homeschool conference this weekend and a lot of folks at church are on vacation or have only girls. There is also a missions conference that a lot of them are going to this weekend. That doesn't leave anyone really that we know. So, it will be a God thing if this all works out. :-) I may let Scott go on his own for a weekend away. :-)

Well, the sun is shining and the weather feels warm. So, I am going to go and start our day. We are still trying to finish up school since we started so late with the move and all. We are about 2 months behind or so. I am doing 1/2 days so we can still enjoy summer somewhat. :-)

Bless you all and hope to hear from you soon.
