Always Playing Catch-Up

As is so often the case, it seems, we are once again trying to catch up on the past several months. You'd think I'd have time once a week, or once every couple weeks to sit down and do this, but things never seem to go that way. This way, though, there are so many things to show you!

The new school year started for me in August. I am teaching High School English at Faith Christian Academy in Martinsburg, WV. The kids are amazing, and the faculty and staff are so much like a family. The challenge for me is that there have been several English teachers there in the past couple years, so creating consistency is one of my primary objectives. It's going great, and the kids seem to be really receptive.

In September, we had both Tim and Katie's birthdays -- Katie turned 2, and Tim -- well, let's just say he's 2 times 18!! We had a lot of fun, and the pics are here to prove it!!


When she's done, she's done!! Sweet sleep!! What a girl!!



Ketchup is our new favorite food. Tim's mom found this shirt while they were on vacation, so she brought it home for Katie!! Katie would eat ketchup on ANYTHING!!


And that's most of the newest news. Later this month, we'll be moving from our apartment into a house God has provided for us to rent. We'll post pictures later. But be on the lookout for yet another new address for the Girdlers!! God is blessing, and we couldn't be happier!!
