Oh the joy of little people....tonight we went to Challenge Circle for the second time this week! It was fun, hot, and filled with too many hyped up kids! From my (Steph) experience of last night where the kids were almost all perfectly well-behaved to tonight where they all ran a muck, my head was spinning....but it was a good type of spinning that only happens a few times in your life :) For John's (my co-writer this evening) experience today was way better than last night (speaking of the Challenge Circle) when the kids weren't really having fun because of the heat. Today, however, was spectacular!! The kids were hyped, hydrated, and filled with a lot of love for us. I thank God for this wonderful experience that I/everyone in our group had being able to minister in this type of way where all you need is a smile and open arms.Jumping to this morning, since we kinda skipped ahead....We took a tour of New Orleans...some of us found this more exciting than others...mostly because we were feeling a bit car sick from the crazy car ride. I (John) found this trip to be a bit emotional (though I wasn't crying cuz "I'm a man") from all the destruction that I saw and the realization that people can't go back to their homes. I (Steph) sort of missed this part of the day cuz I was one of the ones that felt very much under the weather...(though for real, mom if you're reading this, it wasn't my fault it was the driver's fault...plus the roads in N.O are wonderful I'm finding.)
This afternoon was fun as well. We went to the French Quarter again to go to the market. We bought some interesting things but mostly we just had fun enjoying one another's company AND goofing off like normal teens do do....HOWEVER just for everyone reading this to know the adults in our group were completely mature the WHOLE time!!! ;)
Okay...to end this nonchronological view of our day...I'll end it in a quote by the famous Stephanie Baalke " smell is a 3 way thing...you can smell rank, clean, and of Christ"...I'd take the 3rd one over all.
Okay, okay...we need a quote from John too to really close out this co-written blog: "If you're exhausted having a kid on your shoulders then you need to exercize cuz apparently you're not in shape." That's actually what John was told by a 6 year old kid.
We love ya all...thanks for your prayers. :)

Steph--
Just to let you know--of COURSE I'm reading the blog. And OF COURSE I believe it wasn't your fault that you were feeling under the weather--RIGHT :)
We're praying for all of you, that God will continue to use you in the lives of others, and will grow you up in Him in the midst of it!
Love,
Steph's mom
PS That was an impressive picture of Si ripping out stuff!!
So, the man who runs marathons was told to exercise by a 6 year old! :)
No, No, No...that would be John W, not Jon M, that was told he needed to buff up. :)
