The kids have settled back into the school routine and Ellie has been able to play in a couple of basketball games! She improves every time she gets on the court- last game she scored a point, but it was not her that made the shot- it was the other team and Ellie was the closest to the girl who shot on her own basket! I think we all have a story of making a shot on the wrong basket when we were first playing! She was pretty excited to just play!
The braces are becoming routine! She sure looks looks a teen to me these days! She is growing every time I look at her- she now has only 1 pair of pants that fit her!! Time to go shopping I guess- tricky part is that she'll grow out of something else in a month or so.... (She's 5'6'' - btw)
All 3 kids start piano lessons this week- thank goodness! They all have a different teacher, but all have a lesson at the same time- at the same place! I am so blessed on this one! Luke will even have a man- he is pretty pumped about that!
The weather has warmed up here- the house is not as freezing cold as before. We still have a while to go before spring, but I am thankful for a mild winter so far! I find it so odd to see so many robins all over the place- does not feel like January when you see a robin! Sounds like home has had a really warm winter too- go figure.
My parents flew to NZ yesterday and will be gone for 2 months! I know they will love the beaches and people as much as we did! I would LOVE to walk the Ohope beach with my mom- sigh!!!
Keith starts his next semester this week - only 9 credits as he is taking advanced greek grammar- EEEKK! He loves a challenge!
We've booked our place tickets to come home in June 2010. I'll be home with the kids for a month while Keith will be home for a week. He is taking another course in July that will take him to England/ Scotland for a church history course and 9 credits of work! That' s the way it goes around here- learn. learn, learn!!
Love y'all!

Exciting plans. What a joy to know you are able to spend a month at home. We trust God will bless all of your studies until that time of rest. Blessings, the Flootmans.
Great to read that you are doing so well, and thriving on your busy school schedules. The June church history course sounds great. I hope Keith takes lots of photos when he goes.
Albert.
