We both started school August 13th. I was blessed with another AWESOME class and am working with a great team of teachers in 4th grade. It's overwelming having 30 kids instead of 24, but I'm doing alright. I've been praying a lot about what God would have me do next year when Marc's done with school. I like teaching, but it is overwelming most days. I know God has gifted me in that area, but I don't foresee me being able to give what I need to to my family while doing such a time-consuming job. He knows what's in store for me, so I am not worried, just excited to receive some clarity. :) I have to tell you all what one of my kids said the other day:
We've been reading about the toy recalls in Time for Kids in class and, of course, they were all wigging out because all their toys were made in China. So I had to explain it to them...how it was recent toys that might have contained lead paint. Well, one of my little boys shouted out the window of the bus at the end of the day, "Mrs. Goodwin! This pencil I got from the prize basket is made of lead!"
Marc's classes are going well. He especially loves Greek, as hard as it is. He's so cute when he gets all excited and wants to show me stuff. :) He's getting to preach for the whole month at Grace, and he really taught us all a lot today. It's such a blessing to learn from your husband!
We enjoyed a great day today with Bob and Diana, and we got to see my parents last weekend at a Red's game. We miss our siblings, though! :) It is nice to be somewhat close, and we'll see them soon when we go to Indianapolis in September.
In addition to all of that, we love babies! Our good friends Drew and Ashley just had a baby boy, and both Aubrey and Ruby are just precious and healthy. We can't wait to have some of our own! Hope everyone is doing well!
