Wow, just realized that is has been almost a month since the last time I updated the blog....time seems to be flying by! At the end of February the kids and I went back down to Davenport for them to join the youth for Winter Jam. They had a fantastic time! I actually had time to myself that weekend as I stayed in Davenport. (Thank you Jamy Cochran for allowing me to stay with you and also for the wonderful meals!) After church on Sunday morning we loaded into the car quickly and headed back home.....had to make it back in time for core group meeting in Clear Lake. The meeting started at 5:30 and we made it back just a little before 5:00....YEAH! I did forget a few details that are probably some of the most important......as we were heading out of town we stopped off to grab lunch to eat in the car. We had Subway sandwiches and Whitey's ice cream (thank you Jamy for the gift certificates!) Whitey's ice cream is one of the best ice cream places ever if you ask me.
Here in Clear Lake....the Lord continues to build His church. We have been meeting with new people throughout the week at different dinners. This has been such a blessing to meet with people over a meal and have time to get to know them personally.
The kids continue to work hard on school.....it is Spring Break here for everyone, but with all the moving around that we have done this school year we are not taking a "spring break". However, the weather has been just amazing the last two days.....we have had great time being out in the beautiful weather! I just love spring, but not all the allergies that it brings with it.
Johnathan has had a great time spend his afternoons (after school) at the warehouse. He and Larry Weakland are working together at putting a 1955 tractor back together...from pieces. He is learning a lot and just loves it.
Daniel has been great at being our photographer. Each time we have met he has camera in hand to help so we have remembrance of how we started. He is so excited to be spending more and more time outside in the fresh air......oh yeah.....the boys have been able to spend some time of their dirt bikes and came home nice and muddy! They were introduced to a boy their age, Christian, and enjoyed dirt biking with him and his friend, Issac.
Nattalie.....she is ready to meet some girls her age. Today a neighbor for a block or so away came and introduced themselves to us and they have a junior high daughter. Nattalie was so excited. Now that the weather is warm people are outside and I just know that we will meet more and more people.
I know this is a quick update, but wanted to share about where we are right now and how you can pray for us......pray that the Lord continues to build His church, that we continue to follow God's plan, that we make good use of our time and prioritize well, and that the kids are able to find friends in our community.
Thank you to all you who faithfully pray for our family!
