Thomas' 1st bday!

wrestling his dad

good morning Charlie

Welcome to the world!!!!!

Arrived on Thomas' bday - Charlie and Rebi Anne McLemore!!!! They are healthy, happy and boy can they eat! :) They were born 4 weeks early but are doing well. They have gained weight and are learning everyday more on how to be a McLemore...sleep, eat and pooh :) Thank you for your prayers, life is crazy but we are HAPPILY TIRED! Thomas seems to be doing well - it is WAY helpful with the grandmas here. we'll write more later!

Lets get it started! :)

Here are some photos but I need to upload more from this summer and fall - i'll try to post more often, but we'll see with the babies coming!!! :) Thomas moving fast - yes, MUCH faster than his mother! Luckily Marie (the high school girl who is living with us as her parents plant churches in Scotland) can keep up :)
We visited Lake Balaton this summer to see some of our students who do "FEK", an evangelism camp for Hungarians. Thomas and Dad loved swimming in the lake.

SEPTEMBER ALREADY!!!! :)

We can't believe it. Here are a few updates...

1. ICSB has started school. Oliver is teaching, well, you name it....history for 10th and 11th, beginners English 1 and 2, PE for high school, and Spanish 1. He is enjoying being with the students again even though its a bit crazy! :) He is also coaching Soccer for ICSB which is so fun. Their first tournament is this weekend, so we'll see how it goes!!!

2. Marie has moved in and is livin' it up as a senior!!! She is a HUGE blessing to us as Thomas adores her and she helps Pam out a lot!!! Pray for her as she looks into schools, etc for next year.

3. Thomas took his first steps and now has 6 teeth. He's growing like a weed! He loves to clap as we play patty cake and is enjoying watching wheels - he even bends over in the stroller to see the wheels turn. He will be one years old next month - WOW time flies!!!

4. TWINS are on their way...ok, not literally, but I keep hearing from the doctor "wow, these guys are big!", which I take as a good sign :) They are due in 6.5 weeks, but we'll see when they come. Please pray it'll be later than October 17th so that they'll be "full term".

5. The new students seem to be adjusting well. Please continue to pray for the school's spiritual life and acceptance of the many cultures represented.

6. We are way down in support and would ask that you pray for us as we continue to seek the Lord's will in asking people to join/recommit to giving financially.

I'll update soon - yes I will!!! lots of love.

Summer Time :)

Pam with Bethany, one of the discipleship girls - she's from America but is an MK from Poland and Hungary. She'll be Student Body president next year :) This is at the Jr/Sr Banquet that we were chaperones of at the end of May.
Dad with Thomas enjoying the summer time in our pool :)

Edit (with her little 6 month old) invited Trisha and I to dinner to learn how to make Csirke Paprikas - so fun!

The finished project :)

The guys with the kids came over and we all enjoyed this meal together!

Its hot hot hot here in July and we're enjoying the shade of our house :) So far we have been visited by Oliver' mom which was great and have been enjoying being with different people that are here for the summer - for fellowship, meetings for next school year, dinners, playdates and discipleship. Many of our students are doing mission trips around the globe (from China to Korea to Hungary to America!) and some are helping their parents with English camps, support raising and other things like that in ministry which is very neat to see/hear about. Thomas is now crawling fast and it is so fun to watch him grow and grow! The twins are moving more and more and my tummy is getting bigger and bigger - although I want to complain really I praise God for it. The kids are healthy and growing. Oliver is working at home and school which is great for me b/c he can spend more time with us getting ready for the twins and for Marie too (Marie is a senior next year, an MK whose parents are church planting in Edinburough, Scotland and she will be staying with us and attending ICSB). Thank you for your continued prayers and support.

End of School days

Nana came to visit to help out Pam while we worked with graduation and Oliver went on the senior trip to Cyprus (she is now 20 weeks along and its harder and harder to bend over to pick up Thomas :). It was a great time with Nana, Thomas took immediately to his grandma.
Oliver with his graduated ELL students! Robin's family was there too. Robin got HS boy of the year which is the highest honor for a male at ICSB. Way to go Robin!

This year's graduation class! We have been their sponsers for 4 years (organizing and fundraising for senior trip plus parties and Bible study) or so now and are so proud of them and all their hard work. They will be attending university literally all around the globe - from CA to Penn to Korea to Hungary to China! This year's class had 15 in it and 8 different nationalities. We'll miss you.

On the senior trip they found a Starbucks and the students were thrilled :) Oliver was chaperoning them for their 8 days of fun in Cyprus.
