Good evening.

David did pretty good in the pool today. I was all toasty warm in the room. Fall is in the air, even though the weather is still in the 80's. We can really feel a bit of a nip in the air. I can't wait! Fall is my favorite season (folowed closely by winter). I love all the colors of the leaves on the trees.

David started school today! Woo-Hoo!! His classes are: Algebra II; American History; Art appreciation; English III; Mandarin Chinese; and Game Design. He has a bit of catching up to do, but he is a bright kid, we know he can do it. It is way different from how he is used to doing school. It is going to take some getting used to. I know that on-line schooling is the 'wave of the future' (and some colleges are using it now), but we aren't used to it, yet. We are used to the paper, books, and pencils way of doing school. Please pray that David gets the hang of it quickly. Thanks.

Well, we have a temporary resolution to our special prayer request. Now we are working with a lawyer to get it totally resolved. Please continue to pray. Thank you.

Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. I really appreciate your love, prayers, and support. Have a good night. God bless you all. We love you.
