PRAISE GOD!
Chris and I have been praying for God to call others to join us here in Perth. We have plenty of work to share responsibilities with a team. And, God has answered that prayer. There is a couple from Bethany Bible College that will be joining us as soon as their support is raised for 6 months! They are partnered with Global partners just like we are but they will e coming for a short stay. The goal is for the Thornton family to arrive in September. They are actually having a baby any day now! She is full term! And, then once the baby has his shots and they have raised support and prayer partners they will be on their way. They will be doing an internship here. So, Darrek will receive college credit for his time here! But, we are so excited to have them join us! Pray that God would work through this couple that they would raise their support quickly... If any of you would like to support this family for 6 months or give a one time donation please email chris and I at georgefamilyinaustrlia@hotmail.com. We coul not be more excited! Praise God for his answers to our prayers! Chris and I have been praying for 5 years for someone to join us here in Perth. This couple will be the 1st!!! How exciting!!!

Holiday Kids Club

This week went off without any complications. We had 20 different kids come through our doors as well as 7 teen helpers and 5 adults and two babies! The kids learned to Plunge into Obedience, Worship, Courage, Faith, and Service. The kids did some awesome crafts and were really taking in and understanding what it was that we were teaching. Everyday the kids had a take home project they needed to complete to get a sticker on their "Theme Park Pass". They did what mum and dad asked the first time. They told there parents why they love Jesus and want to worship him. They went home and did something they were too scared to do,but Jesus gave them the courage. They took home to their families and invite to come to church on Sunday night, and the last day they made thank you notes and had the job of going home and serving their family. This week just flew by and it truly was a wonderful time of worship with the kids. The most interesting thing is we had 9 families come through our doors that DO NOT attend our church! These are families that we are reaching out too. Please pray that these families will come on Sunday night and that God will speak to their hearts.
Below are some pics of the week.

Adventure Youth Camp
Chris and I took the teens on a 34 hour camp down south to a state forest park. Perth was hit with a really bad storm two weeks ago, and since we had the rain the water levels have been up.And, they were up high enough for us to canoe down the Murray river. We used Dunnies (out houses), slept in tents, and the teens that went had a blast. In the end we only had three come with us! But, what an opportunity for Chris and I to share our lives and build bonds with these teens. We had been studying at youth group fears! And, this camping trip was a perfect way for us to end term 1. The park also raised the fire ban so we were able to have a campfire. All of these kids had never gone camping this far out in the bush before.Here in Oz you cannot get stuff to have smores. So, Chris and I made our own Australian version and shared them with the teens. We had a quokka and also a kangaroo, visit our campsite. we HAD NO SNAKES!, which was my biggest fear. And, we had a wonderful time. I was exhausted. I feel really "OLD!" when I only get three hours of sleep!
About canoeing. We had many things we had to face while going down the river. All canoes here are made out of bendable HEAY plastic. Good thing. Because the water was Black and you could not see any rocks in the water! We did not do any grade two or three rapids. But, we did do a grade one! And, I will post the video if I can get it to upload becuase it is hilarious! Then, we had to put our canoes under a log while we climbed over it, and one spot we all had to get out and balance on a log while we put the canoe over a log that was just sticking out of the water. IT was an adventure for sure and the whole time I had brayden strapped to the front of me in a baby bjorn. So, it was quite the journey. Thank you for your prayers. Two of the teens that did go on this trip are new to the YG and it was AWESOME for Chris and I to build relationships with them. Those two teens are planning on helping us at VBS next week. So, God is moving in hearts and doing things Chris and I never expected!

Easter Egg Hunt

Thank you to everyone who prayed for the Easter Egg Hunt. It went off perfectly. We had many families come. We had over 115 people at it! Which is wonderful! The church members worked awfully hard to help put it all together. Here are a few pictures from the day. We were able to share the story of "The Three Trees" and tell people that it was a day to celebrate because Jesus is alive! A very exciting part of the Easter Egg Hunt was when I did the registrations. Becuase, I actually knew many of the families. Also, there were 5 families that came from the play group I am a part of. And, there were 5 families from Makayla's school. And, all of our kids club kids were there. And, then there were still yet about another 10 families we did not know yet! So, God is good. Thank you for your prayers. We took pictures of all the kids and people with the Easter Bunny. I am quickly trying to edit them all so that we can hand deliver them this week on School Holidays. Please pray for Chris and I as we deliver these pictures and thank the people for coming. While we are there we are going to share with them about Kids Club and ask them to come back and visit church!

Celebrating 5 Years!

Sunday night was a night for celebrations. We invited the John Wesley church to come join us as we celebrated in what God has done through the landsdale church. A 5 minute video was made with pictures sharing where God has taken us!

Our daughter Makayla and a friend Nikita opened the service with a special song called Sing Praise!

Then we had a testimony from Glynis a lady in our church. She did an awesome job! the Jist of her testimony was life is so much better, and different when you walk with the Lord. There is someone there to help you to pray to, there is someone there to share the joys and the sorrows with who loves her. She did a wonderful job!

We installed our first LAC. Local advisory committee.

We commissioned Phil and Karen Hotchkin the pastors Chris and I have been

partnering with ever since we arrived to go do another church plant south of the Perth City.

Chris preached on the Israelites and how it took them 40 years to do what they could have done in 10-11 days. And, encouraged us to follow and trust God and have a clean heart so that he can take Landsdale where he wants to take us!

Then we had dinner! What a wonderful evening!

God is Moving.

Last week Chris was on youtube and he watched John James testimony from the Newsboys. He commented to me "How do I get this guy to Perth!". Then on Thursday night we received an email from another youth group in the area inviting us to come to an event called BAM, The next day! And, Chris called the church to see what they were doing. ... And, they were having John James there to speak! This is totally a God thing. We quickly called everyone on Friday morning and changed youth group to an outing and went! We had all 7 kids we took make a commitment! God was there and our teens were listening. We then had the wonderful opportunity to come back to our house and talk with them all and pray. We can't wait to talk one on one with these teens and find out where God is leading them.

Today we also had 12 kids at Kids Club. So, the first day we had three, then we had 6, and this week 12! Pray that we continue to grow and that if we need help we find volunteers who are willing to join us and help at kids club. On a side note Makayla has a very good friend that has been allowed to start coming to Kids Club. And, I praise God that Makayla feels comfortable enough to invite people. And, I praise God that this door of reaching her friend for Christ has been opened.

Baptism

Today we went down to the City and one the River front we baptized to members of our congregation! This was a very exciting day for Chris and I. This is a couple who used to attend our Young Adult Bible Study in our first term here in Australia. We then went to Singapore and married them in '07, And, they recently moved back to Australia in August '09 and lived in our house till Christmas. But, the thing is that this married couple has decided to proclaim their faith in Jesus and share it with the church. They stood in the water and shared their testimonies. And, God has done soooo much in their lives! But, it was exciting for Chris and I to get to stand with them and pariticipate in their baptism.

I would like to share a bit of Graces* story with you. I am going to give her a different name. Because she comes from China. Her parents are high up in the Government and when she first went home to tell her parents she was a Christian they would not even let her bring a Bible into the house. But, it is hard for her to know that when she decided to become a Christian she turns her back on EVERYTHING and EVERYONE in her family. She has been dating a Christian for the past three years. And, her parents recently even made her sign a contract or Christmas stating she would not marry the Christian because they have spies here in Australia watching everything she does. But, she stood there in the water today and proclaimed her faith! And, she said I don't know where I will turn the only place I can turn is to God! And, that is the point of being a Christian. We must rely on God to guide us and direct us and lead us. Please, pray for her. It reminded me of what we as Americans take for granted! Becoming a Christian in America does not mean we say good bye to our family. But, in other countries and other cultures when you become a Christian you are persecuted. So, please continue to pray for Grace*!

*Name Changed for security reasons.

Church in the Park
Unfortunately we had to change our 5 year anniversary for two weeks. But, the awesome thing is that we got to have church in the park last night. WE set up two tents and had church underneath them. WE actually had quite a few people askus what we were doing. And, this may be a good opportunity for us to make more people aware of our church! But, we had a wonderful service and snag with just a guitar and we were all reminded of how nice it is to just come and worship with out all the "extra" stuff we seem to expect in church every week!

Play Group
This morning I had play group and only one mum showed up. I was a bit dissapointed. But, something cool came from it. I was sitting there talking with Daphne and found out that once she attended a play group in Zambia. She is actually from Mauritius and her husband ishere studying for college. But, I think they may have decided to stay in Australia. But, she told me that she had done a book by Rick Warren. Daphne does not attend church, and she is not a Christian. And, I was really wanting to share a devotion every week during our play group. And, she was the one I was worried about being turned off! And, next thing you know she is telling me about how she loved that play group! So, God has opened the door. Pray with me as I walk through it. Obviously since it is a play group we will do a very short "Lift up" moment from the Bible. But, pray with me as I decide what this will look like! Also, another friend of mine has decided to join, she is Catholic, but I do not know yet whethere she has accepted Christ as her saviour.

Here is a little bit of the Special that was sang on the Church Camp.

Mandurah Family Church Camp

The past four days were spent camping in 100, 102.2, 104, 102.2 degree weather. Needless to say it was like an oven! This weather in Perth is very unusual. It gets hot but not normally for a week at a time. The whole time we were gone to Gold Coast our children were enduring this weather. And, just for the record the air conditioner in our house is not working! So, it was very miserable weather to be having.

Spite the weather the camp was still a SUCCESS! We had 43 people join us between the Landsdale and John Wesley Church. There were 21 that joined us from the Landsdale church. God is good. We arrived home Thursday night from the Pastors Conference and Friday morning was a bit of a blur. We packed our bags, loaded the car. We fit everything in, but the stroller and our mattress so we took those to the other Pastors house and he put them in his trailer and away we headed down south. It was only an hour and a half drive. And, we got there and we set up our tent, and a sun shelter, and then we just relaxed until people came. As each family arrived we would help them set up their tent etc. Chris and I were incharge of planning the camp and activities, Pastor Phil did all the planning for meals and cooking. Every camper volunteered twice to help with a meal. And Pastor young was in charge of worship.

On Saturday we had a worship service. Wilson the young adult from Zimbabwe who lived with us for 15 months from 07-09 spoke. HE did a tremendous job and he has grown up SO much in the past year while we have been gone! God used him in wonderful ways. We had pool time and then we ate lunch and headed to the beach. Saturday night we went to a place called Kings Carnival and they gave us a great rate ad everyone was able to play mini golf and go on rides. On Sunday we had two church services we had extras join us just for this day that did not come on the camp. But we had two lay people in the John Wesley church share. God used Pella and Ashley in so many ways to work on people's hearts. It was truly touching and the worship was excellent. We then prayed for two families who announced they were having babies on the camp. We also were treated by a special Zimbabwean special. If you would like to see more pics check out my facebook page. But, I will post some pictures here. It was a great time of building relationships being pushed to Lean on God and make him our first love and to follow him with everything in us. I also did children's sessions. We did one where I challenged the kids to jump into obedience like the Disciples did when catching fish. The did what Jesus asked and they caught so many fish the nets were breaking. The second session I encouraged them to Jump into courage. As the disciples did when they were on the boat and Jesus quieted the seas. It was a tremendously wonderful camp. Here are three highlights I would like to share about.

1. A dear friend of mine brought her two children. She used to attend our church regularly but has not attended at all in over a year! So, we were very glad to see her come on the camp. I believe God worked on her heart pray for me as I follow up with her.

2. My best friend here who does not attend church. Had many excuses NOT to come on the camp. And, she had many things come up. But, God worked it out for her to come on the camp on Sunday afternoon and stay till Monday. She did not attend the church service. But, she talked with people and her husband was able to build some relationships. Pray for me as I follow up with her.

3. A lady in our church was touched by the African singing. It reminded her of good times and home and she had not heard our South Africans sing. And, she was truly touched. God has been providing things for Glynis that she didn't even know she really needed yet. But, I believe God touches those who follow him. And, I believe this is why Glynis is seeing God's hand in her life right now. She is a strong hold in our church. And, she is strong in her faith.

thank you for your prayers. Continue to pray for us as this month is very heavily busy with many things going on. I will post those in the prayer column. But, please remember to pray for the ministry here in Landsdale! thank you so much! May God bless you!

National Pastors Conference

After 5 1/2 hours on airplanes and 8 hours total of travel time we landed at the Gold Coast airport on the East coast. We had a short drive to Tweed Heads where we stayed in our accomodation. The accomodation was wonderful. They were self serve apartments. So, they came with clean sheets etc. And, then you had to tidy them up before you left. But, they were very nice. The first evening we started a 24 hour fast and focused on prayer for the nation. This is the first time Chris and I have gotten to see the Australian Church Pastors and Leadership as a whole. It was truly wonderful. It is a group of people who know everybody and we never saw anyone just sitting there. Everyone was talking to everyone else and it was just truly an wonderful experience. We were not left just standing there either. Many people were always introducing themselves and asking us where we were pastoring with which we loved to respond Perth!

Amidst the fasting, prayer sessions, and prayer walk. We had some wonderful speakers. The National Superintendent gave a call for us to partner with him in spreading the vision for an Undivided heart. He talked about in spiritual ways between us and God, our churches, and as a country.

A vision was given for the Australian church which now consists of 78 churches in the whole country (Which is the size of the USA) to get on board the vision of 150 churches by 2020. This means every church is to plant atleast one church in the next 10 years! This is a leap of faith. Becuase this means we need more pastors, we need more lay workers, we need more money.... But, we prayed that we would be faithful to not give silly excuses and that we would pray to God and see where it is he wants us to plant next.

We then had church planting seminars and had the Superintendent for the Solomon Islands share along with a missionary that Australia has sent out to the islands.

We called Makayla and Dawson every day in Perth and they seemed to be doing well. They had a wonderful time and when we returned asked "When do you go away again! We had alot of fun!" So, thank you for your prayers. They worked. I will admit that they did miss us! They were a bit sulky on the last day we were gone. But, they were VERY excited to pick us up at the airport for the first time ever.

One cool point I want to share with you is... not spiritual just informational. The hotel we stayed in was on the border of Queensland and New South Wales. In our hotel room we were in New South Wales. but, if we crossed the street to McDonald's we were in Queensland. Therefore there was an hour difference every time we crossed the street! How crazy would that be. So, basically if it was midnight in the hotel we could go across the street and Mcdonald's would still be open because it was only 11.

All in all the trip was wonderful and it was really a wonderful experience for us to see what we are apart of in Australia. We are just a small part in a passionate team to see the Country of Australia reached for Christ!

Thank you for all your prayers! They impacted our family over the past four days and we felt the power of your prayers! Thank you.

At youth group last night we had a follow up fun night to all the hard work the teens did for the Valentines banquet. We took them miniature golfing. Miniature golfing is hard to find here in Australia. It is not as big as in the states. But, we found a really nice course and we went and played in the dark which made it SO much more fun! But, we had a wonderful time and the teens built even better relationships. Sam came and joined us along with her younger brother TJ. We took a boys car and a girls car and unfortunately us girls did get beat by the boys. But, we are sure there might have been some card fixing happening! All in all it was a wonderful evening and we are so excited to say that on March 5th we will be kicking off the year for Youth Group and we can't wait to see what that will bring us! Keep praying for these teenagers.

-Many of them are starting this year at new schools this year

-pray for them to stand strong on their faith and belief in Jesus Christ as their personal saviour.

-Pray for them to share their faith with others!

Valentine's Banquet

Last night we had such a wonderful time. The teens pre sold tickets, and then the goal for the night was to bond the teens by serving their parents and friends. This is the second time we have done this event. It was alot of work and Chris and Mines part but, totally worth it. I gotup and started preparing food for the day at 8:00 in the morning. And, was finished just in time to serve! We had a wonderful time watching the teens build friendships and relationships. We played fun games.. The first was I love. and people had to write on a heart what they love, then the teen collected them and there were tables of four. So, then the four people had to guess who's heart was who's. The second game was a Husband and wife give answers and see how many you get correct type game. The Parents had a wonderful time! It was truly a lot of fun. What made the whole night worth it was at the end. We had a girl named Sam, this was her first time at youth. And, afterwards she asked Chris and I when the next youth meeting was.. And, said she would be there! It was all worth it, just for Sam! Thank you for your prayers. They are changing teenagers lives. I pray that god would continue to use us to impact these teenagers! Thank you for your prayers and support. here is a picture from the evening!

Primary School

The kids have started their new school year on February 1st. Dawson and Makayla are having such a great time. They are attending the Public school here in Landsdale. Many new doors have opened for us to start meeting people. Dawson is in Kindy and goes 5 days full time over a two week period. Makayla goes every day and is in grade 1.

Please pray for Makayla as she is finding it the hardest to adjust. She loves going to school and last week was sick and still wanted to go every day. But, pray for her as she meets culture shock face to face. As words are used every day she does not understand.

The very first day of school Makayla came home and told us her teacher had lost her leg because it was full of 'sin'. The teacher was meaning... It had something bad in it, cancer. But, to Makayla she came home and told us that her teacher disobeyed God and now she only has one leg. Then she asked us. So, if I am naughty is God going to take my leg too?

It was a great teaching moment for us. But, at the same time a moment of Chris and I having to let Makayla know that sometime people will use a word she does not understand. And, if they do, then she just politely asks what they are really saying.

109 Degrees!

The past three days have been VERY hot here! Because the hall where we have church has no air we moved church from the community hall to our house. And, we had an amazing service! The church is not a building but the people. The most amazing things I want to share with you is we had two new families come to our house and also we had a family that has come sporadic come and say that they have decided to come regularly to our church now. God is good! This is a praise. We had 35 people worship in our living room. It was a packed room, but God presence was there and speaking to hearts and Chris preached on Ephesians 4:15. The sermon was on having a heart that is being cultivated and growing in love.

This week Chris and I drove down south to check out the caravan park we will be having our family church camp at on Feb. 26-March 1st. The place is very nice. We stayed one night just to really get a feel for the place. I was able to book 8 campsites. So, we should be able to fit about 16 tents. And, right in the center it has a camp kitchen. So, hopefully it will not be 109 when we go camping.

Continue to pray for us as we try to reconnect with people who used to attend our church sporadic and also as we connect with new families that Keith the previous pastor has met.

I am sure most of you are aware but I would just like to ask you to pray for our missionaries in Haiti! God is good and they are all safe and protected. But, it is a big job they have ahead of them to serve all the people that are in need of medical attention and basic needs like food, water, clothing etc. So, please keep them in your prayers. You can check out their website at gpcaribeatlantic.com

Again, thank you for your prayers God is changing lives here in Perth, Australia!

Undivided Heart!

Psalm 86:11

Teach me your way, O Lord

and I will walk in your truth;

give me an undivided heart,

that I may fear your name.

We have challenged our church people to learn this verse. On Sunday we will see how many people know it. Our children have learnt it as well. But, God has really been teaching us recently that EVERYTHING comes from Him. And, we are to learn His ways so that nothing can hinder us from coming to Him. Today we had our house fumigated for spider cockroaches and all kinds of lovely mini beasts as they call them here in Oz. But, just like a spider web starts little and gets big. Chris preached on Sunday that sin can seep into our hearts and we can be unaware and it can destroy our heart and it can divide our heart. But, we in 2010 as a church in Landsdale are striving to have ONE heart that beats for the Lord. And, we are striving to have a heart that will follow, learn, grow, and serve Jesus Christ! We hope and will continue to pray that this is also your goal this year!

So, as we have continued to move in Chris has been busy setting up the church booking for our building hire of the hall, and he preached this past Sunday in our church and also the inner city church. Please keep him in your prayers as Monday he will start visiting families that have showed interested in our church but are not attending right now.

Our kids have been busy starting on Monday Vac Swim. Swimming here in Australia is VERY important. There is too much water for you to NOT know how to swim. Also, in school you are required to swim as part of school curriculum. And, Makayla had missed a year of classes. and they do this swimming called VAC swim. So, we were able to get Makayla signed up and registered. But, she goes every day for 10 days. So two weeks M-F. And, she has only done two days so far. But, she learnt the first day how to do the back stroke and yesterday free style. Dawson has just learnt how to put his face in the water and blow bubbles which is amazing considering he has only had one lesson and we almost couldn't even get him in water!

Brayden has really started to settle down. He has an appetite and he has started to put his weight back on. He can now take two steps at a time and he is really starting to settle in. He still is not sleeping well. Last night he got up 9 times in the middle of the night. So, you can pray that he will start sleeping again.

I think that is all that has happened in the last week! A praise is that Makayla got her class assignment for the year and she is in LA 7 and to top it off her best friend is in her class! This will be the first time they are in the same class. Hopefully they will be able to learn while being in the same class. But, I am glad that Makayla will not be in her class with no one she knows. Grade one is the first grade that is required in Australia. So, I think the kids go from having 3 different classes in a grade to 6. So, there are many new students to get to know! We pray that you have a blessed week and we look forward to updating you next week on what God is doing. Thank you for you continuous prayers! We know that God is moving here and that we couldn't be doing what we are doing without you! May God bless you!

Still Unpacking

As we have just been here a month it is hard to believe we are still unpacking and well packing some things up! Yesterday, I took the christmas tree down! This week seems to have flown by. For new YEars we basically stayed home and laid low. WE were hoping to have our house put together enough to have a party, but it is not there yet.
This week we spent many hours working very hard outside in the hot heat! We rented a dumpster, and all the trees in the yard had not been cut in a year. So, we trimmed, and we power washed all the winter yuck off the house, and we spent many hours trimming bushes in the back yard! Chris worked very hard and we filled half a dumpster full of trimmings and then threw out alot of our belonging that don't work anymore. We were washing windows and doing all kind of fun work. Its amazing all the little things you do to keep up a house, how you odn't seem to notice all the work you do until it isn't done for a year! Then things look pretty bad! :) The good news is the truck came and picked up the dumpster so we are done!!!! YEAH!

The bad news is, somewhere in there I hurt my back. So, you keep me in your prayers this week. I went and saw a doctor and he said I did too much little stuff all together which probably made my back go into spasms, and it is so spasmed that it is actually curving my spine. He has given me some codeine, but It did not even touch the pain, so I have not taken anymore as I am sure it is not good for Brayden to get in his system. The good news is I am starting to feel a bit better. So, hopefully I will keep improving.

Chris has started to preach a series on an Undivided heart! It is the theme for the Australian Church and we really praying that this is the year our church grows in MANY forms but most important in their passion for Jesus Christ! We are busily trying to plan the year out and had our firt meeting sunday night as we want to form and LBA.

Currently I am desperatly putting plans together for an all family church camp in Mandurah in March. I was able to book a campground and we were only able to get 9 campsites! but, I think we can house 40-50 people on those sites! so, pray that people would get excited and that the plans would start to come together for this camp!

We hope and pray that you and your family had a safe and wonderful Happy New Year! Please know that we are praying for you and praying that God's blessings would flow abundantly upon you, your family, and your church!

Happy New Year!

Anniversary

Today we celebrated out 9th Wedding anniversary. We were able to go out for lunch and Brayden slept the whole time in his stroller while we had lunch on the beach and relaxed watching people surf. It was a wonderful time. Time seems to fly. It honestly doesnt seem like it has been 9 years!

Birthdays, Birthdays, The most important Birthday of all!

On the 22nd we celebrated Chris's birthday. We spent it with our "Australian family". We had an American meal of taco salad, and a yummy white mud cake. Chris was spoilt. Everyone including myself all went together and got him a new barbecue to go on the porch. He loved it! His old one was not working anymore. So, needless to say for the rest of summer, I think Chris will be doing the cooking!

NOW to the most important

Birthday of all!

On the 24th and 25th we celebrated Christmas. Our kids sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and we told them the story of Jesus Birth. And, we told them why it was so important for Him to come! Christmas Eve we spent with friends and family that we swapped present with. Our children were spoilt and had fun in the swimming pool and eating all sorts of lollies.

On the 25th we had a Christmas service at our house. There were 18 of us that met together and we sang some carols and chris preached to all of us. It was a wonderful service and it was even more special to have it in our home. By having it in our home it meant we did not have to rent the hall and set up and tear down for church. But, with such short notice we probably could not have booked the hall anyways. But, it was a wonderful time and our church is our family here! We were spoilt by them and also by all of you our prayer partners and supporters.

THANK YOU

TO everyone who sent a special Christmas gift to us! We were blessed beyond belief. With that money we were able to get Brayden a crib and a mattress, and Dawson his big present this year was a bean bag (WHICH HE ULTIMATELY loves), and Makayla received a Disney mix max that she can listen to music in her room on it plays kind of like a CD player would. But, at least mummy and daddy can choose what music goes on there! With all the money we were given we didn't want to just buy lot's of little things. So, we went together with it all and got our family a Wii. It has been heaps of fun, but also it has been a thing that we can do as a family and it costs us nothing now to go bowling, or to play the games. So, that is exciting to know that we can do a family things and it is not going to cost us anything. Especially when it has been 105-8 here many days, it is WAY to hot to go outside. And, Brayden is still trying to adjust to the heat. So, we have been trying to keep him in as much as possible! But, thank you to everyone who spoilt us! We are truly blessed by your generosity!
