Parade

We went to the Interlaken Days parade this past weekend, and Jack met a veteran named Merlin.  He really wanted to meet him and take a picture with him. We have had a great time already!   

Moving!

We have moved and are getting settled in pretty well.  We love the new house and neighborhood.  We love the trail right by our house that goes right by a historic farm and Lake Sisseton.  We still haven't explored the town too much, so we are looking forward to that.  We had so many people do so much for us from Berean and also from our new church in Fairmont.  What a blessing!  It was hard to say good-bye to family and friends, but we feel God's peace in going forward.  Here are some good-bye pictures and pictures of the new place.  

Minnesota Zoo!

Thanks to uncle Brent and aunt Heidi we were able to enjoy a perfect day at the Minnesota Zoo.  It was sunny while we were outside, rained a little when we were inside and stopped when it was time to walk to the car!  My favorite thing was that the giraffes were back for the first time in a few years.  We love this zoo!

Fairmont Baptist Church

Our new church's sign says that Matt is the new pastor.  We had a great first Sunday yesterday!  It will be a busy few weeks of commuting until we can actually move down there, but we had a great day of rejoicing together.  What a blessing!  We have been staying with the Cushmans who are very kind, giving people.  Ava calls them mama and papa, and they are already good church grandparents to our kids!  Daryl plays the guitar and sings and lets them "play" too.  So that is one of their favorite things to do when we are there.  We are glad they feel so comfortable there and at the church.  They know their way around better than we do!

Jack's Graduation Play

Car Show

One of our last times to go to the Anoka classic car show.  Jack liked this car because it was just his size.

More graduation-related pictures

Here are a few others of Jack with his Bible and his new Lego set that he bought with his graduation money.  And one of him with Levi and Lexi at Dairy Queen after graduation.
