Update

A friend emailed to point out that the blog has been a bit boring as of late.  (Thanks Cole, you're still a jerk).  I'm not sure why.  I suppose not a lot has really happened this month that I think other people would find interesting.  Claire has sprouted another tooth.  She's also crawling.  I suppose it's crawling.  For those in the army, it's actually just a low crawl.  Emily insists she is developing a bit of a attitude.  I insist Emily is wrong about my little girl.  This coming week is VBS at SHAPE, which should keep things busy.  I have no real responsibility other than providing a devotional thought for the leaders each morning, but I'm supposedly providing oversight.  Our VBS director is amazing, so I've really done nothing.

On Wednesday, I went to a prayer service for those killed recently in Norway.  It was a moving service to me.  I always enjoy hearing the Norwegian chaplain speak.  We disagree on a lot of our theology, but it's always a well thought out and insightful sermon.  His thoughts on how we respond to this type of brutality were as well crafted as I would have expected.  (Sorry, it's something of an occupational hazard that you grade memorial services in military ministry).

We're trying to get Isaac ready for school next month.  He's going to start in the Belgian kindergarden on SHAPE.  Em is excited about teaching again....we just have to work out childcare for Claire.

Enjoyed the update and it is never boring to me. Stacey and Whitney are taking Katie and her classmates to the river this morning as a back to school and a going away party for one of the boys who is moving. Love you,
Mother

We loved the new pictures, the one with Isaac running toward the camera was just precious. Loved Claire's pictures on the patio, just wish I could reach out and touch them. Love to you all, Mother
