Family Reunion
We traveled down to Alexandria, Louisana for the Mahfouz family reunion this weekend and had a great time visiting with family and eating lots of yummy middle eastern foods. Dave's great-grandparents were from Syria and the family carries on the tradition of cooking the foods from the middle east mixed with cajun as well! Always fun to try these and I was really suprised Kennedy liked most of them, Caleb was too busy playing with his cousins to eat. 
1st Field Trip
Kennedy took her first field trip of kindergarten last week to Motley's Pumpkin Patch here in Little Rock!! Caleb and I met her there and had such a good time watching her interact with all her classmates!! We watched the pig races, which is always her favorite, went on a hayride, learned some cool facts about pumpkins, went on a cow train ride, played in the hayfort and had some lunch before heading back to school. I cannot brag enough on how blessed I feel to have her in Mrs. Haupt's class and with a great group of diverse kids!!! I'm so happy with where God has her this year!!
Moving Edouard to UCA
Our Rwandan son, Edouard, started UCA this fall, the same day Kennedy started kindergarten. We moved him to his dorm the day before they were both to start their new journeys, one to college and one just getting started. We were happy to have him close enough to come home and visit whenever he wants and we talk to him about once a week. He seems to be really enjoying his time so far.
Kennedy's First Day of Kindergarten
We had a very busy summer and I did not blog a single time, so I will try to catch up on what has been going on around here. The biggest event was Kennedy starting Kindergarten. She was so excited and is having a great time, meeting new friends and learning many new things. I'm so thankful that she got a wonderful, sweet, precious teacher and has a friend from church who she already knew in her class!!
