Monday again?

Wow, last week went by fast. We had bad news that Dylan's godmother's son was killed in an ambulance accident. Please keep the family in your prayers.

On that sad note, not a lot happened this past week. Dylan is training for the "Aluminum Man" competition. They're planning on swimming the Volta river, running, and biking. It's a "mini-triathalon". It'll be this coming weekend, after Dylan's promotion party. Hopefully all the contestants don't drink too much at the party. After this promotion Dylan will officially be "Chief".

Blaise is 4 months old and weighs 15 1/2 lbs. He's getting big!

Pamela's off school this week for fall break, but really the weather is no different.

Toby and Seth are being themselves. They're enjoying having Pamela home this week.

We just had our kitchen door removed to keep the boys from slamming it. I just knew that someone's hand was going to get stuck in it one day.

Our Explorer is still giving us a warning that the fuel pump is going to go out. The guy at the dealership says that the gas is bad in Ghana and there's nothing they can do about it except keep replacing them when they go out. He said that there's something in the gas that is making is very sticky and causing problems in newer cars specifically. They've tested it, but the agency that does the testing is owned by the government and says there's nothing wrong with the gas. Our friends' Explorer is still sitting at the dealership awaiting the part. I just don't want it to go out when we're not anywhere close to home. That would bite. We should probably stop going out together just in case it does go out, just so that someone could actually get us if we do break down.
