Let The Summer Fun Begin!!!

He will love this at 16! Hiding in my underwear and dishtowels.

Exhaustion eventually kicks in

A well earned scar!

Pulling A Late Nighter!
Caleb and I are up waaaayyy too late waiting to go to the airport to pick up a friend of a friend. I have no clue why every flite coming into this country must arrive in the wee hours of the morning but Egypt must have been at the bottom of the air traffic totem pole!!!
Anyhow...
1 more week of school but only 2 more actual teaching days and I can't wait! Looking forward to at least a month of relative freedom maybe more. Should start tutoring by 3rd week of August. Yancey's new book on prayer is arriving tonight with this friend and I am looking forward to a good read and time to contemplate the theme of prayer and maybe actually spend some serious time in prayer...what a concept!

Argghhh! Still in school while most everyone else has been set free...well 'cept for the British kids. 8 more school days!!! Actually most of my tutoring has stopped except for 6 appointments which will carry thru the summer. I am actually home tonight and kinda bored. Caleb is in the middle of a schedule change so I am staying put and trying to develop and new routine. He is in the midst of giving up napping it seems :( so he needs to go to bed earlier which is awesome as slong as he can make it thru the whole night. Last night he zonked at 8 p.m. and slept until 8:30 this a.m. which is unheard of. He is winding down with veggie tales as I type so hopefully it will be another good night. Not having a nap tear into the day could be a nice thing ...except when I want to nap.

Life around here in Maadi is feeling very weird these days lots of sin coming out into the light which is disconcerting but good I know. I am on the Sr. Pastor search committee and really feeling the weight of the responsibility especially in light of all that is going on. Please pray for our church and its witness in the community.

I have enjoyed having the Kuhn girls staying with me as they have been back for Hannah's graduation. My little apartment is proving what it can take! Shower usage, toilet flushes, water pressure all have been under major testing but other than a cosmetic case lost in the toidy all has held up well. John Tucker has been in town as well, He and I and Travis all were at coffee the other day pretty weird!

Its good bye time again but this year no real losses to my close community which I am so thankful for. Although 4 months without SkipBo seems like a goodbye but at least I know they shall return eventually. A decent number of folks will be around for the summer so I shouldn't be too lonely.

Well that is all to report
