Fall Break

We're in the midst of fall break. It was set for this week, and schools were supposed to go to distance learning for a week before that, then Kherson schools decided not to.... I'm glad we homeschool! But we do have to keep up with other schedules, too. Art and music school had slightly different breaks, and Asya's individual music lessons are at two different elementary schools. Music school just announced that their break is extended; will we hear that from other directions soon, too?

The covid situation in Ukraine is not getting better. Kherson region was green all along, then all of a sudden went yellow, then orange, which is were we sit now. Local elections were on Sunday, and many people were expecting changes after that, but I'm not seeing any. Several people we know have been sick, but they're getting better now.

I've asked for prayers for documents off and on for a while now. We're actually getting down to the line with one. It's something the local Christian college needs in order to be able to register us again, and it's been stuck since March. Lately they've been told every week that it will be ready, but it obviously hasn't been. Please pray that it actually will come through today! Otherwise we're going to have to get creative.

Here are some random photos. One day Will and I went out for lunch at a beautiful place while our kids were busy:


Morning glories are still blooming:




Lots of art going on--one at home, others at school:





And a little bit of fall colour:

Hopefully I'll be able to put up some more posts in the next few days, while we're free from school.

Profound beauty here...to see you and Will enjoying a meal out in a beautiful location, to observe the beauty of creation reflected in your morning glory, and to view all of your children producing works of artistic beauty--this series of photos brings me deep delight, especially when I consider life a year ago. We love each of you dearly!

Just seeing this because of being at the GES conference and now at Abby's. (Notmuch social media.) We are sorry to hear the Covid numbers are going up there. Stay safe! The pics of Fall and the children and their art work are beautiful! AND, we are praying for your documents! Love to each of you!
