Just
ended a wonderful week with family being here. Jeff's mom, Sharon, and my
sister, Edie, came and they were able to experience our very first hurricane
with us and celebrate Allison's birthday too! Three-fourths of the deaf
students went home before the storm blew in and they came back to school the
following Monday. It was, thankfully, a very small one so the winds and
rain weren't treacherous. Our kids were outside enjoying some "slip
and slide" before it hit. Nonetheless, it was nerve-racking for all
of us in not knowing what to expect. We were able to swim at the beach
before hurricane "Sandy" made landfall. We tried to make it
back to the beach again before my sister's flight out on Friday, but the waves
and the floating debris were brutal. Sharon flew out on Saturday, so
after we saw her off at departures, we walked over to arrivals where our last
work team was waiting for us.
This
is our last work team for the year which is good and bad. We love having
the teams here because it allows us to see familiar faces and friends, work
gets accomplished here at the deaf school, and the time just flies by. Things
are hopping around the school grounds. There are different groups broke
out in these areas: guttering crew, painting crew, welding crew, wood-working
crewing, and concrete crew. They are knocking out much needed
work....thank you Bethlehem United Meth. Church out of PA!!! -Jodi
