Thursday Already

Wouldn't you know, right after I said Holly keeps me from blogging when she does computer repair, I get so busy I can't hardly see straight. Work is slamming busy, Boy Scout meeting on Monday, we're planning a trip for the weekend and I'm in charge for the first time, Tuesday is Men's BSF, and it runs late, Wednesday we have a dinner with the owners of our company and my peers for work, with spouses, always a bit uncomfortable, always great food, always a late night. Tonight we packed for the weekend Mackinaw. I know I won't get good rest on the camp out, it's supposed to be cold and wet. I'm thinking first cold of the season. Lovely!

The following I received from Cousin Herb concerning his nephew Keith, which, I think, makes him my second cousin, but don't hold me to that. Anyway, please lift up Keith and his beautiful family.

From Herb: "Let's give The Clark's all the support we can, daily update, current photos and our prayer, Keith is his father son am I for one am very proud to be his uncle."

And from Keith himself: We have safely arrived in Hefei. Sofia will be starting Kindergarten in the next couple of days and Janira and I will be starting Chinese language courses shortly, which will be a necessity as even rudimentary understanding of English is rare (partially why we came to this region, we definitely stand out when we leave the apartment). I also will start teaching classes this Monday, so everything will be rather hectic. We are all excited, though, and looking forward to our time here.
Love,
Keith
P.S. I attached a couple of photos; one of Sofia's un-Birthday in Texas, another of Sofia and I in our Kitchen here, and one of the three of us while camping in Utah.

I can see his Dad in the way he stands.

My nephew, Matt took a bride this past weekend. While we weren't able to make the trip we pray that God bless the marriage as richly as He has blessed ours. If anyone has photos that they'd like to share, send them along, I'll make up a story to go with them.

That's about it for now, I have to get Ian to finish packing so tomorrow afternoon goes as good as possible.

Have a great day/weekend!
