Diverse family news...

So much happens every day, never mind in a month!!! But I thought I'd update you briefly on a few major highlights in the past month. Here is a picture of Scott with our accountant in Jaragua do Sul, officially receiving our non-profit status for Quest...Huge for us!!!Being the incredibly wonderful husband that he is, Scott planned a two day getaway for the two of us. It has been busy with 8 people in our home and there is rarely an opportunity for us to get some quality time alone and so it was a refreshing and restful weekend.
After two years of waiting (it was supposed to be for his 10th birthday, which was 2.5 years ago) Caleb finally fulfilled his birthday dream to jump with a paraglider. The sky was blue and the wind was perfect for an 25 minute flight. He reached altitudes of 1050 meters and as a mother standing on the ground below, it was a deep time of reflection. I turned to my friend Lisa who was visiting us at the time, and asked, "How many mothers would allow their 12 year old sons to jump from those heights????" Sometimes we do the craziest things...but then again, life IS an adventure! For those of you who want to jump, come visit and we'll try to line it up for you.
Did you see him??? If not, look again, he's up there!
By this time, he was almost down and I was feeling a lot more comfortable about the whole experience!

Pop by again soon, I've got some piano lesson pics to upload and much, much more!

Love, all of us
