A Part of the Whole: Uncollection

Well, some how we went from the beginning of July to the end of July in a blink. Here's a little of how it went

We watched the Ticos lose to the Netherlands in a shoot out. Sad. But that didn't change the reception that the team got when they flew home the next week! They drove the whole group around on a flatbed truck for 5 hours after they landed, just so people could see them. And everwhere there are billboards thanking the team and the coaches.

We went on a short get away to a beach we hadn't been to yet. Long story, but our neighbors were given two nights at a house just off the beach and invited us to join them. What a blast! Best part? Hands down, feeding the monkeys on our porch first thing in the morning!

I finally came up with a workable solution for shelves in our garage. I even managed to maneuver the hardware store in Spanish with all the kids in tow! Oh and funny thing about those shelves. Elliot opened the back of the 4Runner and all three boards fell out onto his little foot! We were concerned that he might of actually broken something this time. So we went off to the doctor the next day (this all happened the day before we went to the beach) and praise the Lord, it wasn't broken, just badly bruised! He was told no trampoline or tree climbing for 5 days. And now he's right as rain.

The boys and our neighbor friend built a tepee. Steph has been collecting used sheets to make a big one later on, but she let the boys paint one for the small tepee they built. And I will say, their painting looks very cave drawingesk.

This week is teacher inservice at LCA. Today the Bible teacher is talking with the rest of the staff about how Jesus taught. Wednesday, Noah is going to be talking about discipleship, and Friday I will be sharing some practical ways a teacher can be disciplining in their classroom every day. This is a new concept for most of them. Pray for us and for the staff.
