rollercoaster weekend

we had such a busy weekend!

• strawberry picking
• the purchase of a 3rd car (SUCH a God story!)
• a royal banquet
• the cd release party of our amazing worship leader, David Walker
• one sad little curve ball was also thrown our way

beautiful girls on a beautiful morning!

someone ate more than they helped!

our church had it's annual Kingdom Kids Royal Banquet

saturday evening. it's such a fabulous evening where

our kids dress up, enter their beautifully decorated "royal kingdom"

to the sound of trumpeters, and are served a
fabulous meal as they hear wonderful stories
 about the kingdom of God.

the purpose is to remind them of who they are in God -

children of the King, and  empowered to bring His

kingdom here on this earth as His children - fabulous!

  our handsome little knight  

one of the beautiful royal servers!

saturday was also a tough one for all of us as

our family dog had to be put to 

sleep following a vet ER visit. 

i'm so glad Brian was here when she had

what they believe to be either a prolonged seizure

or stroke due to a brain tumor.

we all will miss that crazy dog, especially Ali.

she was the one who picked Scout out 14 years ago,

so it's been especially tough on her.

 happy memories!

so

the countdown to the last days of school

and Gracie's June surgery has begun...

a rollercoaster ride for sure!
