And back into the swing of things...

So after getting back from a FABULOUS break, we headed into the Spring semester... It has proven to be an extremely busy one, but we're thinking it's going to be an extremely good one.

We had a fun weekend last weekend, when Barbara and Bill (Brad's parents) came over for a few days. Barbara had a Title I Education conference 10 minutes away, so we were able to spend time with them when Barbara wasn't in meetings. We welcomed them to Texas in pure cowboy style....



Brad started taking Hebrew this semester, so he's getting into the groove of the letters and grammar. Lots more to go, but he's doing great and enjoying learning yet another language :) He's also continuing with Greek and has another preaching class as well.

Lindsey has already started the countdown to graduation in May. Since it is her last semester, she's got a pretty full load, but all the classes are really great. In addition to her final Bible and Theology courses, she has a class in Adult Ministries and Family Life Ministries, which are extremely practical and she's really enjoying them.



And all the Beebes (minus Alex) came to eat at our house too!

Christmas Break - Part III (the finale)

So after North Carolina and Mexico....we headed back to Dallas for a week. Lindsey took a 1-week long course (read: Monday-Friday, 8-5 for one week) about the Old Testament Prophets. She really enjoyed the concentrated course, and had a great prof for it.

After that week-long blur, we headed to North Carolina again for Wes (Brad's brother) and Susan's wedding in Valdese... We had a great time with everyone and are so excited for Susan and Wes. They headed off to the Mayan Riviera (in Mexico) and enjoyed a week of time together! (They got to swim with dolphins, snorkel, hike in the ruins, and just relax at their resort!)

Here's a few pictures from the wedding weekend:
