November 2023 Summary

Thanksgiving Celebration with Centro Agape
Regan and her roommates with some great fall leaves!
Building up some future leaders
The tree goes up at the day after Thanksgiving

We kept hearing seagulls killing some pigeons. It sounded terrible! Turns out that Rome hired a bunch of guys to walk around in hazmat suits blaring a recording of just that, to scare away the birds.

Regan and Kai went to a Christmas tree farm
Regan had a great time with Emily and Mamaw
And she went on a hike in the Smokies with her friends

Technically, October 31, but it is in my November folder. Halloween fun at the house


He is my favorite :)
Went to a ladies retreat and hiked a crazy mountain steep mountain, but the view at the top was worth it!
Benjamin playing around with his paints. Nice job, Benjamin!
The girls started teaching Grace some English. She is so gifted in language learning!
Hudson joined his brother in some painting fun.
It's been a lot of prep for the Franklin Graham Noi Festival, but what a good time!
So many people heard the good news! 2 nights, 20,000 people
We went both nights, different people both nights
Night one was Kari Jobe, and night 2 was Michael W. Smith
This. Every. Single. Night. The driving theory test is full of trick questions and most Italians have to take it multiple times before passing. It was definitely a God thing that I passed on the first try. I can't tell you how relieved I am!

Almost as cute as these two babies
