Arrival!!!

We are now waiting for the arrival of Zoe Mei Gampp! She will be at the airport at 9:25pm... We will take pictures and try to post them soon..... Thank you everyone for all your prayers!!! It has meant so much to have such support! Well, we must go for now! Take care and God Bless!

Tis the Season....

Well, I think I actually finished Christmas shopping today!!! The stores were crowded but, I actually was able to sneak in the right line to get out fairly quick today.... Dallas had basketball practice today, he actually is doing pretty well :) They were actually scrimmaging each other and he had the ball and the defender was on him and he actually dribbled the ball between his legs! lol .... It was fun to watch! So if you ever need any Sunday afternoon entertainment, you will have to come watch him!

I wanted to also ask all my fellow bloggers to pray for someone for me! Some of you know this young man, Andrew Helser..... He is a senior this year at Teays Valley.... He is actually doing the exchange student program and is currently in Germany.... I spoke with his mom today. Andrew has had a rough time. They placed him with a family who are atheist! They would not allow Andrew to go to church. His "host" sister would ridicule him if he prayed or read his Bible. Then, they wouldn't let him report to the agency he went through to get there. So somehow he got a hold of his parents to let them know what was going on. They have now placed him with a new "host" family. His "real" sister has flown to Germany to be with him for a while. I pray for their safety and I am asking that you do the same. I hope they will continue to be strong in their faith!

It is amazing how we take things for granite... This time of year is definitely a time to be thankful.... I am so glad that even though there are MANY things wrong in this country.... we are still able to worship Jesus Christ!!! I know there were several stores that were not allowing their employees to say "Merry Christmas" to customers but, today I think every store I was in, their employee said "Merry Christmas" to me before I could say it to them first.... It was as if they were making a statement.... There are sooo many people that hide when things are done against their Christianity but, yet there are still those that have faith in God and do Stand UP!!!

I am definitely taking the time this year to reflect and be ever so thankful to live where I can celebrate the birthday of the everlasting KING, JESUS CHRIST!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!

NEWEST UPDATE....

Tim and Jenny have now boarded the plane to claim their precious baby girl! They will get to pick Zoe up on Monday December 17th, 2007. Her mom left a comment on her blog and it was sooo sweet! We all are excited about seeing Zoe but, Nancy (Jenny's mom) is also concerned for her daughter. She just put her on a plane to a country where they persecute christians! Please pray for Tim and Jenny this week and until their safe return. We take so much for granite here...

Preschool has been BUSY!!! Get ready Heather cause we got plans for you! Ha Ha!!! The kids are really getting excited for the season! They are definitely hyped up! I have really been trying to work with them on their writing skills.... So many of them are having trouble. So I decided to venture out and try some cutting with them.... Ok .... most of them cut rather well.... So tell me this, if you have good enough fine motor skills to cut rather well..... then why can't you write simple letters like the letter T or the letter C..... I am baffled! So, anyways we are really working on these. We are sending homework home for the holidays! LOL.... I'm sure they will be thrilled! (Amy if you have any suggestions let me know)

Well, everyone take care and I hope you have all your shopping done =)
