LONG TIME!

WOW! It's been all summer, and I haven't posted anything! Life has been pretty routine for us here at the Hellenthal house. We are both still working like crazy, trying to finish off the basement, active leaders in our church Youth Group, puppy rearing, spending time with family and friends. We got a puppy in September, and we just adore him. His name is Winston. He's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Such a sweetie. A little hyper at times, and somewhat naughty, but what puppy isn't? We are taking "puppy classes" at Petco, and he seems to really be learning a lot! I am just excited for the biting stage to be over with! It really hurts to get nailed with those sharp puppy teeth! Nothing else too exciting with us. No new news on the adoption journey, really. We've had a few birthmothers interested, but they ended up choosing someone else. We get a little discouraged sometimes, but, we know that God's in control of the situation, and the right baby will come to us when we are ready. We just keep praying that the time is sooner, rather than later. No new teaching news for Hefty either. He had a few applications out there, but, there are a lot of teachers out there with out jobs, and so he hasn't had many interviews. We keep praying for that too. We are grateful for our jobs, and that we have benefits etc! Well, that's about it for now.

Have a Blessed Day!
