Update - by John

John--Just added a few more classes and is working hard to finish up school in December, yay! We're very proud of him.
Anna--Doing fine, feeling good. Learning to knit stockings. We (John and Anna) made plum jam this week, yum.
Adam--Personality! Learning to write letters. Constantly asking how to write things, and copying or tracing everything he finds.
Joshua--What a doll! Shy and sweet, with a mind of his own. Learning a few words and loves to help Mom.

We're doing well up here, now that John's financial aid came through so we won't have to go home early. The weather is beautiful and the leaves are starting to turn colors. We're glad to be here, and also glad to be coming back soon.

Love you all!
