Bottom and to the left as you face her. This is number 6 for her.

The 3 ring circus
OK, so William indicated that we had a video shoot today at a horse farm. Then he asked for chocolate pudding and brownies or chocolate cake - no frosting. Knowing my husband as I know him I suspect that I am not bringing a snack for us; especially since my husband doesn't normally eat aforementioned sweets. Hmmm
I have been shopping everyday this week. Not being the avid shopper this VBS stuff is wearing me out. I had to laugh at my husband, after visiting one store he asked me to get his list and mark off numbers 7 and 21. Now that's a prepared list. Mine is rather sporadic looking.
The three ring circus... we have three pets and these are currently three pets that we try to keep separated from each other. The cat stays in our bedroom. And being 18 years old she is fine with that set-up until the kitten taunts her under the door with her paw. The rabbit is inside due to extremely hot weather and or the tropical rain storms we've been experiencing. We keep her in her cage and let her out at least once a day to exercise. The kitten is fearless and swats at her through the wires. The rabbit, thus far, has been very patient with her. This morning I opened the cage door and watched. The kitten proceeded to repeatedly knock the door shut and the rabbit gave up trying to get out. Next time I turned around the kitten was IN the cage with the rabbit. I report all of this lovingly and cheerfully!
I'll close this entry asking for your prayers as we head into VBS. Strength and endurance is what comes to mind.

A successful day
The computer is randomly downloading pictures so as they come up I add them to the blog. I meant for this one to be with his other picture. Chace was worn out at the end of the event; you could tell it was a good feeling.
Last night we had dinner with Sonja and her family. What a joyful group and what a blessing to get to meet them. They will be touring Florida until Thursday the 28th. Friday they fly home.
We will surely miss her, she was a blessing to us. The children have bonded to an older sister and will cherish the memories they made with her.
Tomorrow we take some time off to go to the beach. I don't think I've been this month. That is my New Year's resolution after all; enjoy the beach at least once a month.
I'm almost caught up on laundry from last week with this week sneaking up behind me.
Tonight we went to church to view the videos and some pictures from last week's events. Everyone is still laughing and high on the week. I saw some deacons and pastors like I've never seen before. When they said, 'what happens at camp, stays at camp,' they forgot about the proof of pictures. If you have the time and desire some can be viewed at www.fbcweston.org
Jessica plays Father Abraham
had 7 sons..." Oh, I caught you singing didn't I? There seems to be a theme going with tonight's blogs. Anyway, this is Jessica at the piano for her recital.
Open piano night
After Jessica's piano recital, the audience was invited to tickle the ivory if the mood struck. Julian was so inclined to show off her talents. It must be time for me to teach her more.
Have sparring pads.....
...will accept first place trophy. This is Chace after his first sparring tournament.

Happy Father's Day
Somehow I thought our schedule would slow down as the calendar got closer to summer. It hasn't happened and we're holding on tight as the ride continues.
June 3 through the 8 William was in Colorado. His flight landed at 12:45 in the morning and we were all ready to go pick him up. After minimal traveling for over a year, we've become accustomed to having him around.
June 9 Chace had his first Karate tournament and it lasted all day. We didn't know what to expect going in and came out very satisfied. Chace received a trophy for third place in forms and one for first place for sparring. He was very happy and didn't want any help carrying the trophies to the car.
Sunday the tenth we had church and Jessica's piano recital in the evening. With three students it was a quick one especially compared to Chace's previous day.
Monday the children and I loaded a charter bus and headed to Groveland, Florida with 200 other people to attend Student Camp. I had been invited to help with the leader's children. Our schedule had us swimming, playing mini golf, riding bikes and enjoying bible lessons. The children fared well even though it was technically week 2 without daddy.
Friday we hitched a ride with fellow campers to Orlando where we met up with William and a cousin of mine. It was sad to know that we hadn't seen each other in over 5 years. The five of us spent the night in Orlando and headed home Saturday.
Tomorrow Sonja's family flies in and they tour Florida through next week. During their stay we will meet up with them several times. June 29 they fly back to Germany.
June 25 is our churches VBS and we are ready to have the week started. We finish that off with Water Day on Friday.
I'll give you some more to chew on later. Now it's time to call the dads.
