Business COOL!

What can you do on a Saturday when it rains all day long?





Go shopping of course, right girls?

Jason found these Johnston & Murphy shoes today at the Somerset Collection Mall in Troy, Michigan! He's been needing them for a LONG time! We just haven't found the right pair until today! They look great on him! The sales woman who was helping us called them "business cool" shoes. Guess that means he's cool, right Dan?

FRIDAYS!

We always look forward to Fridays! On some nights we can hear the bands & announcers for the Lapeer West and Lapeer East football games from our apartment!

I had the morning off today so I had time to get all of my errands done!

It was great to visit with Mom and Dad yesterday as they stopped for dinner on their way back from South Carolina! It was very fun to see the pictures of little Brock!

What are all of you doing this weekend?

Brock Benjamin

What a great-looking newphew!
We can't wait to see him in person!

_______K.....G________!

Way to go Rebekah! We knew you could do it!

Benjamin and Rebekah Godfrey are wonderful parents to Baby Godfrey, whose official name is now known as Brock Benjamin Godfrey.... 7.09 oz, 19 inches long, and _______ color hair (I forgot to ask!), born on Sept. 19 around 4 PM!

Now we are Uncles and Aunts, Dan, Rach, Matt, & Jason!

Did I win the prize for the guessing contest, Rach? I want those mangoes.....

Just can't seem to keep up....

What a busy month September is! On Thursday I added another 5 students to my piano schedule. I actually have 47 on a weekly basis and another 10 or more on a bi-weekly basis. Whew! So if I don't blog much until Saturdays, you know the reason why!

I actually awoke at 4 this morning wide awake ... probably because we went to bed so early (at 9:30 PM!) Friday night! So... since some Sunday School students requested sweet rolls this week, I got them going at 5 AM and finished at 7:20. They sure made the house smell great.

Today we are going to watch some football games with the Whites and then go to a Junior High hayride/potluck night! We always look forward to church on Sundays.... this week the schedule includes Sunday School class, children's choir rehearsal (for the upcoming missions conference), an afternoon nap, and night church with the late night missions meetings! (And the meeting really does go until 10 PM!)

OUCH!

Poor Jason!
The day after Labor Day Jason decided to go for an early morning run! Daniel and Candice were staying the night with us as Candice was planning to fly back that evening. Jason tripped over some uneven sidewalk and fell right on his wrists and elbow! After MUCH clean-up, and his nice work shirt & tie were in place, we noticed that he had cut himself shaving and had gotten some blood on his shirt collar! When it rains it pours! Thank you, Candice, for taking the pictures! Now we have proof that Jason's wounds were indeed gross.
By the way, they are almost completely healed now!

An Ice Cream Show ... you've got to see it!

Guess what Jason & I saw on Friday night?














A documentary on PBS (Public Broadcasting System- one of the three channels we get on a good day) called An Ice Cream Show.

It was so fun to see! My family would just love it. We called the 1-800 phone # they gave after the show just to see how much the VHS was - $19.99, but we found a better price on Amazon for $5!

Maybe we'll order it so we can watch it at Christmas! Do any of you have an account on Amazon and want to order it for us? We'll pay you back... just let us know before you order it!

What's your favorite ice-cream?

Sunday in Manton, Michigan!

We always enjoy being at Rollins Church on Sunday morning and hearing Dad preach! Today Dad preached on the first few verses in Ephesians 4. The church was packed and many stayed for the Labor Day carry-in dinner after church. As usual, there were just as many desserts as there were main dishes!

Mom is always so kind to take our picture in the morning!

November 15th...here comes Jason!

Jason had the opportunity to shoot a rifle today! It's his FIRST TIME! He hit the target (a box!) five out of six times from 100+ yards away. Now he's hooked. He even split a rock inside the box!
