November Ramblings

Ellington turned one month old on November 2nd and it won't be long until she celebrates her 2 month birthday. She developed colic at 5 weeks and has kept all of us walking the floor and jiggling a baby. The worse part is knowing that she is hurting and there seems to be nothing we can do to fix it right now.

Reagan, Kara, Jordan and Alain Kabore, and Rebecca Moore in the Jackson airport prior to their departure for Burkina Faso. They left on Saturday, November 21st and the rest of the group left on Monday, November 23rd.

Well, I thought November would bring a slow down for us, but it hasn't happened so far. I began the month with five performance of Casseroles and Mistletoe for the local Arts Council. After a couple days of rest, it was back to the races. I have been trying to do some Christmas shopping, continuing to help with Ellington who has developed colic, get Reagan ready for her mission trip to Africa plus working at Northside, teaching Sunday School this month and preparing for another professional development that I will conduct the 2nd of December for teachers of the Meridian Public School District. All in all, we have dealt with lots of different things, but then that is life, isn't it?

The most exciting event is Reagan's mission trip to Africa. How exciting!!! I wish I was there with them, too. Our church has a member that is from Burkina Faso in west Africa and a group of 14 is there now.

We are so looking forward to the upcoming Christmas season. We enjoy celebrating the birth of our Savior. One of our favorite activities is the annual Christmas get-together we have for friends and family. More on that later.
