Samuel and his mom

Well, one of the things going on in our lives is not happening here. It happened in College Station, Texas last week. Our older grandson, Samuel, started school. He is now officially a kindergartener. He was awake early, anxious for breakfast. But then he was too excited to eat it all. His school walking distance from his house. So, the parents do a "Walking School Bus" to escort the boys to school. The two other primary passengers on the Walking School Bus (besides Samuel on the left) are Cole and Jacob.







While we are on the subject of schooling, here's a picture of Samuel's mom, our own sweet Shelley, as she finished her schooling. She was graduating from Texas A&M. That's her Gra'ma Brabham for whom we will have a big birthday bash next month. She will be 90!! but don't tell anyone.

Another big even in Samuel's life was his first Rock Climb and his first zip line ride.




Marilyn and I have been team-teaching a Bible class, at church, for about three years. It's mostly young couples about the age of our children or younger. We made a big shift this week. We are, for the first time, teaching from a book rather than preparing our own material. That decision resulted in it being easier for me to teach alone, as opposed to the team-teaching we've done since the beginning of the class. We've decided the change of pace will probably be good. We like the material and the class seems to like it as well. No Bible class pics available.
