Jonathan has spent the last 45 minutes trying to put Korey to bed. He just came down here and told us that he was scared. This is how the conversation went:

Jonathan: Korey why are you up?
Korey: I'm scared.
Jonathan: why are you scared?
Korey: Of the giant!
Jonathan: Where's the giant?
Korey: In my bed.

(All this time he has this too cute smirk on his face!)

Jonathan: where are you gonna sleep?
Korey: In your bed!!!

Copper

We are so happy to be reunited with our dog Copper. While we are very sad our other dog, Cody died while we were away on deputation, God has helped us with our hurt and to explain it to the kids. I don't think Korey remembers him but Kylie does & is always talking about Cody going to heaven with Jesus. But on a happy note, Copper is doing great being back with us! She is tolorating the kids love nicely! =)
(This time he WANTED his picture taken! He said mommy, take my picture with Copper!!)

Louisville, Ky Wesleyan Methodist Church

One of our last services of our deputation tour was at the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Louisville, KY with the Gabriel Clyde family! God's presence was there in the service and I know He was speaking to hearts! We had a wonderful dinner and then stayed for their ground breaking service that evening. It was exciting to be there for that! We'll be praying for you all as you continue to serve God where He's placed you!

my girls

Just had to share this sweet picture of the girls with you all! Korey didn't want to get his picture taken...that's why he's not in it!

Update

I'm sure most of you thought the "Springer family" got lost somewhere! But we've been super busy. We arrived back in the Rio Grande Valley Oct 3 after Jonathan drove straight though from IN. We've been working it seems almost non stop at packing & moving into a new house in Texas to use as a base here for now. Its much bigger and better suits our family now that the kids are growing up! We are waiting for Jonathan's passport to get here. The kids & I all have ours but his is still being processed.

God's been so good to supply all our needs these past few weeks too!! We ended our 6 month deputation tour with only 35% of our monthly budget pledged. That was pretty discouraging to us but since we've been back God's been encouraging us to just keep going and that He is going to take care of the funds needed.

I'm still unpacking and getting life back into a routine of sorts, but I plan to post some pictures this week. I still have lots of catching up to do from our trip and I'm sure my family wants to see some new pictures of the kids!
