Get Ready ... Get Set ...

Final preparations are underway for my trip to India. I'm hoping to get the right electrical adapter for my laptop before I go. I think the beauty to the right is the correct one, but I'm still looking (locally). We have a 10:18 departure time tomorrow morning and I'm excited to be finally going. I've prayed for a long time to visit India, and now the Lord is providing for it. I hope that I can useful to the Kingdom of God on my travels. Last night I stocked up on some New Testaments and Gospels of John to hand out as we talk to people about Jesus. It will be awesome knowing the Lord. I will miss my family, but I know He has them in His hands.

Cody has wound up his first week of full contact, padded football practice. How exciting! He's doing a great job and has been setting goals for himself each day to be better and learn more certain areas. He'd love to be able to carry the ball and has a pretty good arm, so we'll see. His size makes him an easy pick for a line position. Work outs have been difficult but he's doing better each day (high knees Buddy!) It's been a little hard for Dad to simply watch and encourage since I'm not an assistant coach. But that's ok, Cody is doing well and liking it, which is what he was a little worried about in the beginning.

Callie had two great clogging performances last night at Albertson's College in Caldwell and then at the Boise Train Depot. She danced three numbers and did great. She's getting much better all the time (high knees Punky!). The first audience was a bunch of hics (well we do live in Idaho) and their applause left a lot to be desired. The second audience was a little more high fa-lutin' and they really clapped and enjoyed the girls (and moms) dancing. You can really see the level of energy go up when the crowd gets involved. Callie will continue to do great I'm sure, I'd love to see her get into Irish dance. I won't be doing much coaching for that (I'll leave that to Uncle Dan - inside joke).

Corban is a good boy for being two. :) He likes to be thrown as high in the air as I can throw him, which is almost to the top of the cathedral ceiling at the house. Most of the time he has a Superman pose hanging at the top. He also really likes football, wrestling and motorcycles. Every time he sees a motorcycle he says, "Motorcycle! I want to ride it!" Which is funny considering we don't have a motorcycle, nor has he seen one in action other than in traffic. He's a cutey.

I'm really going to miss my wife!

Pro 12:4a An excellent wife is the crown of her husband...
Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the LORD.
Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.

Love you Near!
