We had a good week. Pictured above is Andrew's face painting from the birthday party on Saturday. He was invited to a friends house for her birthday and they had a good time. Angie stayed for the party to help out and was able to meet some of the parents as well. It took a lot of work to get the paint off afterwards.
I was finally able to get our address changed on the car registration form. The week before I had made two trips to Carcassonne to try and get it changed but it didn't work out both times. The first time their computers were down, the second they had closed early. I made it on Wednesday and when I sat down in the waiting room, I was greeted by a "Bonjour, Jason" it was a man from Limoux that I have had contact with on several occassions, so we were able to spend our time waiting, talking. I also met someone who attends the church in Carcassonne who had just bought a car. I got it all done and it was free as well. Thursday night we had a record attendance at the bible study (including Angie and I). Friday morning it was cold and rainy. To the right you see Arianna bundled up and sleeping after Angie took her to meet Lilia walking home from school. There were not a lot of people at the market, I did hand out one Arabic New Testament. Friday I also got my guitar fixed. Lilia and Caleb had knocked it over and broke off one of the tuning knobs.
Caleb has been asking for a hair cut, but we have not found time, Angie straightened it for him and this is how he looks.
We had some British friends over for Lunch and they gave us some flowers they have grown and bloomed quickly. The boys would wake up every morning and run to measure them to see how much they had grown. They have a sweet smell and are called Jacinthe (french spelling). Angie said that I had bought her some just like them several years ago.
Here is the newest member of the family, a dishwasher. She is four years old and I purchased her Saturday. We got a good deal and if she lasts us for six months it will be worth it. The last time we had a dishwasher we only had two kids, so it has been a while.
Friday night we had a basketball game. Pictured below I am the number 6 waiting to go for a rebound as our coach shoots a freethrow. We lost the game by four points, but it went well and everyone had a good time. During the game, which Caleb and Lilia attended with me, Lilia walked over to the bench and said that Micah had fallen on his head and Angie had called 15 (911 in the States), he did not show any signs of a concussion, but had a big knot on the back of his head. I woke him up a couple of times during the night to make sure he was okay. It was funny because normally when I wakes up during the night he appears completely out of it and says the strangest thing. this time it was no different. I woke him up and told him to go to the restroom, which he did, I then asked him a few question to see if he was coherent. I just got what seemed like random yes and no's. Just before I put him back in bed, out of the blue he quoted a few lines of a french poem that Caleb had memorized a couple of years ago, "Quatre-vingts moutons, autant de poisson, un peu de pain, et j'ai toujours faim". I took that as a sign that he was good.
Below picture is from our game before on Saturday, I am pictured on the bottom right making a shot. The boys had a basketball tournament Sunday after church. Lilia was sick to her stomach so after church Angie got a ride home with Lilia and Arianna. So just us boys had a good time together. Micah and Caleb won both of the games they played, 3 - 0 and 6 - 4.
Last Saturday the weather was nice and we even cleaned up the back yard some. This Saturday is our Thanksgiving meal that we finally got rescheduled. We are looking forward to it, please pray that it goes well. God bless, JASON
