Let Sleeping Babies Lie

Isabella fell asleep before we left for church and slept all the way through lunch. Even that lively singing didn't wake her up.

Tomorrow Rachel gets her virtual class--about 60 kids in grades 3-8--and starts her work, ready or not! She has worked very hard all last week to do the training and to set up her virtual classrooms, input email lists, watch training videos, etc. etc. I helped with some of the physical arrangements and typing in some lists and programming her phone. I expect it will be an intense week for her, but she is very excited about getting started. Gary made her a home page called The Virtual Academy at Redbird Village (that's the name of her apartment complex). On Wednesday she will go to Irving for some face-to-face professional development with other DFW area teachers and administrators. Pray with us that she will have a great first week and get off to a good start with her students.

Andrew and Laura's plans are falling into place too. They have tickets to depart for Ethiopia on November 12. They've contracted with a shipping company to send a bunch of stuff to Ethiopia and they're getting those boxes packed. We're hoping to have a full family get-together just prior to their departure.
