Life After VBS

Today was the first day after Vacation Bible School (pictures to come in a separate post!) for our little family. With Matthew gone for the Resolved Conference with our College Group in Palm Desert, and some workers at the house to do some repairs on our sprinkler system, the kids and I "took the day off" :).

Initially, I had planned on getting A LOT of laundry done (VBS week is very disruptive to our "regular routine"... especially laundry). When the gardeners needed the water turned off to the house to do the repairs necessary for our irrigation system to work properly again, I had to toss my plan out the window. So... we left the house shortly after 9:30 and went to the library, signed up for the Summer Reading Program, checked out the maximum amount of books allotted, and went to the park (to read, eat snacks, and play). Ahhh... what a wonderful way to spend a beautiful Saturday morning!

Summer IS HERE!!!

Too Hot for a Job

Recently in the news, there was a woman suing her former employer for letting her go because her looks were too distracting to her co-workers.

Tonight, Matthew and I had a quick exchange making reference to the woman:

"Oh... it's not like the woman that's suing because she is too hot?"

Overhearing that comment, Seth asked (in all seriousness) :

"Who's she suing? The sun?"

Yes, he is my child that makes me laugh...

Season End... well, at lease a short pause :)

We've had a VERY FULL last couple of months life :). This weekend was a punctuation mark... I think it's only a comma, but we'll take it!

Yesterday, we had the Closing Ceremonies for West Yorba Linda Little Leagues. Although neither Isaac's team nor Seth's team won the League Championship this year, they both accepted plaques for being Academic All-Stars (the top 12 highest GPA players of their division). I am thankful that both boys work hard and take their responsibilities seriously both on and off the field!

This weekend was also the Team Parties for both boys. Both Seth and Isaac had "pool parties" :). Isaac's party was at Mom and Dad's, right after church and before College Group today! Such fun times and memory builders! We will miss the friends and connections that we've made this year... but we look forward to see what God will bring into our lives next season. We have prayed diligently each day, for our family to be a light in this arena. I am thankful that we are able to be a living testimony for the Lord on the field.

The reason why this weekend is only a comma, and not a period, is because we found out this weekend that Isaac made the All Stars Team for his age bracket!!! Very exciting... more baseball :). Congratulations, Isaac! You've worked hard to show yourself worthy of being on this All Stars Team. We will continue to pray that you will be an example to your teammates of someone that desires to honor God in all that you do. We pray that you would show your love for God in your actions, attitude, and speech. May God be honored in this new team through you!

I will post pictures very soon. I have a lot to post :) I may cheat and back date some of the posts so that things will be chronological... keep checking!
