Where are we now... an update

Hello all
so we thought we'd give you a bit of an update as to where we are now:

A couple weeks ago both Mac's dad and Melissa's grammie fell and broke their hips. If it weren't for the amount of pain and frustration that comes with having a broken hip, it could be said that Grammie was trying to keep up with Winston (as she fell the day after he did). Thankfully they are both recovering well now. They've both had their surgeries and are in rehab -- Mac's dad was able to get a bed in the rehab/nursing home where they have a condo (he'll be going home once he's up and around again) and Grammie was able to return to her room at Christie Gardens where the physio will work with her. They are both relieved to be out of the hospitals.

Due to the fall and fracture, Mac and I headed down to Virignia Beach a week and a half earlier than expected. So we've spent some time with his parents, have enjoyed biking on the boardwalk by the beach (its still quite warm down here) and have been working around the house. Mac has started cleaning out cluttered spaces, and i am continuing to pull together the fundraising campaign. The change of pace has been nice!

We head back to Toronto on Oct. 29th (so i can start work at Blythwood the next day). By then i should be finished the major development work of the campaign and we (there are 3 of us working on it) will be sending it to three churches and one missionary family for a preview and feedback. Its exciting to see it come together!

hope you're all doing well
