London

Some of you might know of my interest in the Tudors.  Especially Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII 2nd wife.  The one he had executed.  A couple of years ago Mike was following our ancestory line and is able to tract my side back to her!  I am her 2nd cousin 14 times removed.  It's thru my Grandfather Harold McGugin's side (also related to President Lincoln!!!!)
Anyway, since we are not going back to the states this summer we have decided to take advantage of the cheaper airfare and fly up to London.   We will go in March during Spring break.  It will be cold but who cares :-)  I can't wait to go see Tower of London and Westminster Abby but the kids can't wait to see McDonalds and Burger King.  Mike is finally going to see where CSLewis lived, wrote and is buried.
While we are up there we are going to look for an inexpensive computer.  Probably just get a netbook.  Then I should be able to post more and add pictures.  I have some great pictures of Mike performing with a student during the Senior Cafe talent show.  As soon as I can figure out how and where to download them I will post them for everyone to enjoy :)

Please Pray

Our fellow teachers/friends of ours here at Dakar Academy just had a beautiful baby girl last Friday 2/7/14.  She was born with a cleft palate and has run a high temperature and labored breathing.  She has been medevac to German to get the care that she needs.  Please pray for little Kylie Page and for her parents Mike and Mindee Evans-Maxon.  If you would like to follow their care they have a page on caringbridge.  www.caringbridge.org/visit/Kyliepage.
