Missing Philly

Wow, can't believe it is almost Christmas. Today celebrates one year at our house. I can't believe it has been a year since we left Philly. Julianna still misses all her friends and talks about how the school would have done this or it is time for this at Philly. We miss the church and we pray that people are faithful and spreading the soul saving message of Jesus. Our thoughts are always with them. I wish I could see all the children that used to be in my Bible class. I really miss Megan Ingram. I think about her almost every day. 

Julianna is doing great in school. All As and she has been doing several special activities with the gifted group. Cameron loves school. His speech has greatly improved and teachers are so impressed with him. He has done some fabulous artwork in school. We plan on getting it framed. The children are both so good at school and teachers just brag and brag every time I visit.

Jim has been extremely tired. He falls asleep every time he sits down. He has been doing a lot of visiting and evangelist work with the other preachers at the Ironaton church of Christ where we attend. He tries hard to help and encourage others. He wears himself out to the point where it is hard for him to spend time with his own family.

I have been doing pretty well. I am having a lot of flare-ups here lately. I am probably just over doing it. My semester ended Tuesday. I was blessed to have 3 great classes. The students were so kind and several gave me gifts for Christmas. I was shocked. No other class has ever done that before. I will truly miss them. Classes don't begin again until Jan 9th. I plan on knitting, sewing, cleaning, coaching basketball, etc.

The children get out of school on Julianna's birthday the 21st. She will be 10. Wow...my baby girl 10. I am her basketball coach and we have lots of fun with that. This is her first year to play. It is co-ed. She is learning to get in there with the boys and be tough.

Got to run and eat lunch. Not feeling well today.

Sorry it has taken so long to write.


Love....Jennifer
