School Spirit Week

This week is School Spirit Week at Faith Academy. Yesterday the kids dressed team colors for the school.
Today, they were each quite a sight, as it is 'Mismatch Day!'




Snake

Our dog, Bear, was barking a lot this morning in an unusual bark. I opened the front door to see what he was barking at and saw a 2 meter snake crawling up the driveway.

Kurt got the bolo knife and a shovel and chopped its head off!
James and Ben were fascinated with the twitching body after the head was off!





FireStation

Today, three friends and I took our preschool sons to a local volunteer fire station for a tour. It was great! The boys even got a ride in a fire truck which definitly made James' day! Now he's asking me for a fire man costume to wear!!!

7.9

We just experienced the strongest, longest earthquake we've ever felt since moving here over six years ago. There are still after shocks going on that can be felt as I type this.
We are fine. Some of us feel dizzy from the earthquake and aftershocks.

Psalm 46: 2 -3
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling...
