Okay, I do not want anyone to have a heart attack! I am on a computer and imparting my wisdom once again. I am so excited that Thanksgiving is on its way! The fall colors and weather are so refreshing from the heat of summer.
We have finally decided where we will be spending our Christmas holiday! We are heading to Vermont for Christmas! I can't wait. I will be able to meet my newest neice, Ashlynn Mitchell and see how big my little nephews - Chad and Chase and neice Lauren have become. They won't even know their Aunt Randi or Uncle Gabe..... I know my kids are even more excited to see all of their little and big cousins - the "Beauchemin Boys" and "Gangwer girls".
I also hear congratulations are in order for Rick and Rennee - TWINS. Who would have thought. I can't wait to hear all the stories.
Everything is going well at the Raffa household - About a week ago, Gabriel was diagnosed with H1N1 which has actually become very common in the Franklin Township school district. It took him about 7 days to recuperate. So far the only ones who have not had a type of flu is myself, Gabe and Madison. When Gabriel was diagnosed with the H1N1 flu, we bought him a mask and gloves to keep it from spreading!!! I felt like we were living in China.
There is new news about our church, the church will be voting in the middle of November on whether to bring Gabe on to serve as the interim Pastor for the next couple months or year. We are not sure of the specifics, but we covet your prayers as the church and our family transitions into a new phase. We love our church family at FBC and pray for God's Will. They have been so wonderful to us over the last 4 1/2 years and we are praying that we will have many more to share and grow with them.
We are heading out for visition tonight. I hope to write some more later. Sorry, I don't have fun things like Rick or Ron - I am just not as witty as them.

Nice to finally have some news on you guys. Yes, TWINS! Nobody could have been more shocked then I. Renee laughed (almost hysterically). I sat in the chair with my head between my legs hoping I wouldn't pass out.
Randi!! Hi!!
Nice to hear from you!
I saw those words, "Christmas in Vermont"! :) Can we still plan to spend a little time together? At least lunch or supper?
Nice to get your news. Been praying for all the sick people in your family since Rich wrote about it.
Christmas in Vermont. That sounds like fun. Can we come too?
Actually, that wasn't Rich who wrote that last comment! It was me, Marcia, but our Google account is in his name. Anyway, you got the message, I think.
Jill, we definetley would love to get together. I will get with you as time gets closer. It is actually coming faster than I could imagine.
Marcia, so good to hear from you. I am so glad you are reading the blog. I need your email address... I miss seeing you all at church and sitting in your Bible Study. I can't wait until you guys come back.
1samjack2Randi, we are leaving for Burlington tomorrow (the 26th)so if you want to meet up for lunch or something...We are leaving the 29th.
We are at the Holiday Inn Express in South Burlington. Might be best to try to get ahold of us there because we aren't sure our cells will work in the US. Here's our #'s just in case 418-456-7576 and 418-456-7578.
Hopefully you'll see this message. :)
Merry Christmas!!
