3 days but who's counting?

Ah vacation...

Florida...

Sunshine and flowers and green grass...

Time with family...

Priceless!

Yep can't wait even 3 days!

Missions Conference

As always, the Missions Conference is a special time for us.  We always meet new friends and learn so much about different places and ministries.  This year we had a church builder, a Bible translator, a church planter, a young musically talented family already leaving soon for Canada, and another young family heading to France next year.  We love the connections we have been able to make in the last three years here.  Matt preached on the last night, and all of the men sang.  Blessing!

Random Moments

A bulletin board I did at school.  It says, "Behold I will do a new thing..."

 Some funny sayings I saw that I felt applied to me but I didn't want to buy them.  Also I don't have room for much more in my house!
"Many people have eaten in this kitchen and have gone on to live normal, healthy lives."

 "Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful." Good reminder for my perfectionist brain!

Two here

" Life is better when you're laughing."

"Organized people are just too lazy to look for things." I can attest to that!

 Long day of school

The Move

No this was not our move.  Brent and Heidi moved this past weekend to this beautiful house that overlooks a farm.  It has an amazing 

sunroom and a custom walk-in closet and a ton of other features.  My favorite thing was the floors.  It was fun to see their dogs first check it out too and our kids.  Ha.  They were excited about lots of space to play hide and seek!  We are very happy for them and know they will make so many new memories there.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Best Dad Ever!  We had a great birthday weekend for Dad last week.  We got to take him out for lunch Friday and then Saturday he grilled us all steaks and had shrimp and delicious other foods.  Mostly it was great to just be together and to celebrate our wonderful father.  Love  you, Dad!  Also we had two nephews with birthdays this past week, so happy birthday, Caleb -16 and Conner - 11!  Wow can't believe that!

Crazy Hair Night

Crazy kids with crazy hair!  So fun!

Glasses!

So Jack needs glasses.  Here's the preview of what he will look like.  He's pretty excited about them and I'm sure to see better!  Ava liked the pink ones but she won't be getting those anytime soon.  I hope!
