Winning Season

 

Dalton has played in 7 football games so far this year.  Their record is 5-2! Not bad for a school's first year at hosting a B-Team.  He has been enjoying football and I think it may even be his new favorite sport.  His next game is at home this Thursday at 5:00p.  

I never did update you about his MFUGE camp experience this summer.  He did come home on a spiritual high - but he also came home with this... a huge crush on a tenth grade girl!  (He is in seventh.) Thank goodness she lives out of state. 

 

My grandmother is out of the hospital and back in Heritage where she continues her Rehab.  She has been very tired lately - I believe she is on way too much medication for her system.   I am SO READY to get her out of that nursing home.  She will need assistance once we get her home but she is NO WHERE NEAR sick enough to stay in that facility.  While I appreciate what they have done to get her functioning at a higher capacity, I really hate to know she is there.  Keep her in your prayers. 

Also, in this wonderful economy, Charles and I decided to cut my work hours!  (YIKES.)  It is just what has to be done to meet the needs of our family.   So, beginning this week, I will be working one less shift per week at McLeod.   This will help me here at home and free some of my time up to help more with my grandmother.  My schedule has been WAY to crazy since school started and since Grandma broke her hip.  (It will also help me have more time to begin Rehab. for my Facebook addiction... :)

On other Russell family news, Jarrett is sick and has been home with me this week.  He started running fever at lunchtime on Sunday.  I know he has a sinus infection.  I am just not sure if he also has strep throat.  Time will tell!  He was up some of the night and I ended up sleeping in his bed so, I am sure I will be sick by the weekend.  Charles and I have plans to go out of town this Friday through Monday for a long weekend.  It is Charles' birthday so I wanted to plan something special for him.  Mama is keeping the children and we are going to just hang out in the hot tub and chill out all weekend with NOTHING to do.  We stay SO busy.

Speaking of busy...Revolution Church is doing fantastic.  We have a regular group of attendees at our LifeGroup each Wednesday night and the kids ministry has been a blast.  Please keep us in your prayers.  We are very close to needing more space and Chris is looking into some options this week.  Rental space is SO expensive!  God has the plans - just pray with us as we seek His guidance for the right place to expand His church.

Have a great day!  Please pray for Grandmother, Jarrett and Revolution as you are exiting this post - AND that I will be WELL this weekend - Charles and I REALLY need this trip.  We are burned out, tired and in need of some re-fueling!  Thank you.
