Well, it has been a while since I have updated last. A lot has been going on. In my last post I mentioned Adam was in the middle of IMPACT week. It was a really great week! Since then, he did recreation at VBS and Kal got to participate in VBS. They both had a really good time. Kal loved making crafts and the singing time.
Last week was CIY. Adam took a group of 12 high schoolers up to Anderson, IN (close to home) for the week. The boys and I drove up behind the church van to spend some time with my family. It was a very nice trip. The conference was wonderful, Adam, Nancy, and the teens really had a great time. The weather was BEAUTIFUL!!!!! It hovered in the upper 70s, lower 80s all week, with sunshine every day!
The boys and I had a good time at my parents. I got to see my dad on Father's Day for the first time in a long, long time. It was nice because Lisa and Anne were also there that day, so we had all of us together! I got to visit with Lisa and Andy that day and also got to see baby Jack too! It was really nice to see him, I had not seen him since he was born and he is now nearly 3 months and 3 times the size! It was nice to hang out with Anne and Adam (some) too! My mom really enjoyed the boys, as usual. We took it easy some, played outside a lot, and on Tuesday we went to the Ft. Wayne Zoo. Kal loved it, Kamden was fascinated at first but then tired, and Jackson slept the whole time! It was fun. To try to get a picture of the three of them together was no easy task either. I finally got a picture...kind-of:
On Wednesday, I went up to Anderson to meet up with Adam and the group and Nancy (the female sponsor) came to Portland to meet up with an old college roommate. I had fun with Adam and the crew, we took it easy in the afternoon playing volleyball and just hanging out. What a great group of teens!
That evening, I drove just over to Pendleton and met up with my old college roommate, Jen, and her kids (with a quick hello to Danny)! It was nice to see her (and her kids) again. We got to enjoy only a few minutes but it was nice.
Before leaving Portland on Thursday, I stopped in to say "hello" to Cathy. She is amazing! She just had a highly specialized brain tumor treatment and she said she worked all of the way through it and she was working when I saw her too. She just keeps going on...with supernatural strength (not Spiderman or anything) but she has shown amazing strength that comes only from God. She and her family have such an amazing testimony! She looked great and seemed to be feeling great too! It was nice to visit.
On the way back we stopped at The Close and visited with the Johnson family...and Greers. It was very nice to see them as usual. Kal, Ivy, Kamden, and River played and played until about 9:30 pm. They had so much fun.
We finally made it back home later the next day and we are still all a little tired from the trip. The good news is that the boys are sleeping better than ever!
Well, that is about it for now, I am tired, will update later.
