Heading out to Drew's last track meet before districts. He is just running some speed work for fun. Actually he will be part of a 4 x 100 team. The distance runners always take on the throwers in one race of the year. Should be fun to watch. The weather is nicer, so looking forward to being outside for a while.
Caleb is back to the marathon school days, so we have seen lots of the inside of the house this week.
Hannah's speech therapist was amazed at how well her speech was going after a two week break. Interesting that she could notice that much of a change. Her dentist pointed out yesterday that she has very porous teeth and will need some extra attention to keep them cavity free from this point on. Fun!
Erinn is feeling so much better! Praise God! She is busily working on catching up with her school work she missed. Lots of multi-media stuff for her minor classes.
Danielle is running around smoky Santa Barbara again. At this point she is not under evacuation orders, but she does have most of her irreplaceable things in her car at this point. Pray for the many who have lost their homes and who are waiting to hear of theirs. Pray for safety of the firefighters (I believe some were caught in the fire and burned last night). Pray for weather changes to help bring this under control soon.
And on this World AIDS Orphans Day, remember:
Over 15 million children worldwide have lost one or both parents to AIDS – equivalent to the number of people living in New York, Paris, and Bangkok combined. In sub-Saharan Africa alone, over 12 million children have been orphaned by the pandemic.Experts believe that millions more orphans remain unaccounted for in India, China and Russia. By 2010, the number of AIDS orphans worldwide is expected to reach at least 20 million. (Stats borrowed from a friends blog)
