Life Lately

April had a great birthday.  Turning 9 has never been this good :)  She had a special sign sent by a friend and we had fun with that through the day. I arranged for a bunch of friends and relatives to stop by (staying in cars) and we spend most of the beautiful-weather day outside.  It was fun to see so many people and it made April feel special! 






A few days ago when the weather was nicer, the kids were working hard on fairy gardens. I think it turned out really well, and super cute!




Chloe needed a bigger bicycle and she got to go help pick it out.  Purple and 21 speeds!  Of course, this led to a Dad & Kids bike ride :)





The kids don't have new school work on Wednesdays or (of course) over the weekend. That has led to some sibling sleepovers. The girls spent a night in Peter's room. They prefer when he comes to their room though :)  We just pick up his mattress and bring it over - everyone stays comfy!



May the 4th was an obvious choice to watch a Star Wars movie!  The girls weren't as sure, but as we watched the original 3, they liked them more and more. We will probably be waiting to show them any additional movies from the series, but they did enjoy these ones. Of course, they were scared and hiding behind pillows (the girls anyway) during different parts, but overall they were enjoying!



We've taken lots of family walks.  These three are loving their matching shirts from Aunt Michelle.  Really, they can't wait to wear them when they see their cousins soon!!



What have I been doing? Lots of grocery shopping, wearing my mask ;)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
