September is national "Childhood Cancer Awareness" month here in the U.S.. So with that in mind, please pray for all the families and children whose lives have been irrevocably changed by cancer. It is such a minute thing to do, yet prayer definetly opens the door so God can respond.

The Ervin family is doing fine- as much as we will be able to with Luke missing. Time trudges on but time does not heal. Don't be misled by that saying; those who have suffered loss don't really heal. We adjust, but how do you ever heal or recover from grief?? It's been 5 years chronologically- but barely 5 days in our hearts.

Joscelyn has returned to school- the 4th grade this year! She is truly enjoying it, which I am so thankful for. Dane & Autumn continue their daycare/preschool. Sometime this fall after Autumn turns 3, they will both be in preschool & in the same class! They are both looking forward to that as they play quite well together. Autumn is trying hard to nail down the potty-training issue. Some days are drier than others! Dane began fall soccer just this week and he's fun to watch on the field. Our neighbor is coaching him this season so I think that will bring him more confidence with the game. My classes don't start back until the 22nd so I have a few days to play catch up- but so far it's not been too effective! I get distracted with other things easily, and before I know it it is time to go pick up the kids again! Monte has been working steadily (praise God!) but still tries to find time to catch a few fishies on the weekends- when things are running fine with the van & boat. Sometimes that isn't always a good combination!! The van has been in the shop for over 2 weeks this round, and was in it a week and a half in July. That's what you get with an old one though :-(

Life is hard; God is good. We love you & thank you for checking in. Enjoy the fall season- It is my FAVORITE!!!
