The cutest little kitty-cat you ever saw made an appearance the other night for Halloween. Our youngest, Campbell, dressed as a little black cat and was just the most precious trick or treater out there. Of course she really just sat in the stroller while her brother and sister absconded with the loot.
Campbell turns one tomorrow, and I really can't believe how the last year has flown. She is the sweetest little gem and is a real delight to us. Although she is turning one, you would think she was 4 or 5 months old, if not for the crawling and cruising. She is every bit of 12 1/2 lbs! She is on a high-fat diet that includes adding corn syrup and vegetable oil to everything she consumes.
Steve and I spent a very long time last night taking assessments and surveys necessary to take part in the CPAC assessment in a couple of weeks. We had a very busy weekend so we weren't able to start on them until last night, and they needed to be done by today! We started around 10:30 last night and kept right on until 4:45 this morning before getting some sleep. They we woke up a couple hours later and finished the last few parts of it. Intense!!!!! We both had our laptops out and were taking test after test. It was kind of fun, though. (I know, I'm crazy.) It felt like we were staying up late working on term papers that had to be turned in the next day. We got it done, and are looking forward to a full night's sleep tonight!
My brother is supposed to be arriving tomorrow to stay with us until we move. He will be helping us out a lot with the move and wants to have the chance to get to know the team while we are all still in one place. I'm really looking forward to having him here. Steve is, too. They'll be working a lot on different media avenues for getting the word out there about our vision and team. That will hopefully help a lot in the realm of raising support.
That raises another issue weighing on us: where are we going to live? We are still not sure about a housing situation once we arrive in Knoxville at the beginning of the year. We have a family of 5, so living in someone's guest room is probably not the optimal solution. (Although we are certainly not above that, we gotta live somewhere!!) Please pray that God will open an opportunity for us to find somewhere for our family to live for the next few months. He will.
