Almost fall! YAY!!!

I know what most of you are thinking, seriously Amy you are excited to see summer in the rearview mirror? Well I have to say that this is the first official time that I am sick of the warm weather! I am so ready to move onto the school year, fall weather, where I can wear jeans and longsleeves. You see here in Minnesota this year we got our warm weather in March. Yes, March. I know for a fact that the thermometer hit over 80F in March as Malachi was down to just shorts during those days. I think my body is saying, okay you have hit your heat limit. This also allows me to not worry about how hot Malachi is when he is sleeping and we can finally have our windows open! I hate when it gets so hot that you have to have the AC on because it is the only relief that you can handle.

With the fall also comes all the excitement of life here at the church. We have our Sunday school classes being planned, the teachers are organizing, I am stressing out that I will find all my needed volunteers. But God has a great plan for those that will step forward! I am really excited to see what is in store for this school year. But with the chaos and stress of finding volunteers I get to get into a normal routine once again. It means that there are specific days I need to be places, I don't have to make lunch for myself on Thursdays (since the churches serve for the high schoolers on that day and I go). And so much more.

Also as I approach fall I am excited. In September, Mike and I are able to find out what DuBabe #2 is expected to be (boy/girl). We are starting the process of selling our house and looking for a new one. We are still feeling called to Hutchinson, so we are looking mostly in Hutch-if God uses this process to call us somewhere else we are open to that idea. I love my job so it is always hard to consider being called somewhere else. Mike, on the other hand, sometimes struggles with his-I think he struggles from time to time. So if you could pray with us as we allow God to use him during his time at his current job and if it is time for him to move on-please pray that those doors would be opened for us.

Finally I love little boys dressed to the nine in cute clothes that are traditionally for fall/winter/early spring. Little Malachi looks super cute in his fall clothing (okay I'm a bit biased). Below are a few pictures of him this past Sunday (the top is his church outfit; the bottom is with his cousins)

Thank you so much for keeping us in prayers as we go on this path called life and living for HIM,

Amy
