Family Update

We have all been so busy that I have not had much time to blog.  Here is a quick update:

G:  G just got accepted to go on a Mission Trip with her school in Spring 2016 to South Africa!  This is a tremendous opportunity to travel to another country, to learn about another culture, to help people in need and experience personal growth.  I am super proud of her for wanting to do it and for getting chosen out of all the kids that applied.

Drew:  Drew is all settled into school and enjoying having his own place.  Thanks to technology, we get routine tours, including getting a view into his fridge!  Saturday is ESPN Game Day at school so he will be up at 4am to wait in line and then go back to bed for awhile before waiting in line for the football game in the evening - U of A vs UCLA.  BIG game!  Oh - and somewhere between that he has to play in a Cornhole tourney!  This week he also met the two boys that he is mentoring for a class.  They are two 8th graders and he is finding the experience to be really interesting.  He will meet them every week thru the semester.

Papa Chach:  Jim is completely buried in getting ready for the new crab season.  Yesterday he got a delivery of 50 new crab pots that are in the backyard and earlier in the week he had us putting reflective tape on buoys (see pics below).



Mama Chach:  I have been busy getting ready for the the backpacking trip - specifically I am on a quest for new boots after mine started coming apart last week.  There has been a lot of stress around this since a good pair of boots is critical on a backpacking trip and I was having a hard time finding a pair that fit.  I finally had a pair overnighted to me and got them last nite.  I tried them out today and they seem to be pretty good.
