Back at it

Sorry for my lack of posting last week. My bad. Special appologies to Riane for not posting her VBS info as she asked in her comment post. I'll do better.

Regular Rec. this week. It's suppose to be hot all week. I'll bring water.

Regulart Youth Group this coming Sunday 6:30-8. This past week I asked the question what is True, or what is Truth. We sat around and wrote down what we thought a true statement was or what truth was. We didn't really talk about it, we just wrote....so that means this week we're going to talk about what truth is. Is there such a thing?

If you love painting and didn't get your fill by doing the youth room, Burt needs some help painting Fellowship Hall this Saturday morning. It's a big room and will need some serious help.

If you missed the theatre performance thing that Lindsey, Nyssa and Emily were in, it was AWESOME! I think there's another chance to see it this Thursday, but I don't know the time....maybe someone else does?

I know it's hot summer, but would you rather be hot or cold?

A mess

I'm sitting in my dining room. This room used to have lots of really cute stuff that Marjorie decorated with. Now it is littered with toys. All shapes and varieties and colors of toys are just thrown all about. Know what? I LOVE IT! Thanks so much for praying for us for months and years. You guys have been awesome.

OK back at it though.

Regular REC. tomorrow night 7/19 7-8:30ish.......in the field if it's nice, in the gym if it rains........if you're not sure......come to the gym to find out.

SUNDAY 7/23 Kidstuf until 7:30....youth group until 8:30

MONDAY 7/24 SWIMMING 5:30-7:30 at C.A.R. Pool Good times. Families will be there so no dunking Aaron underwater.....seriously!

Apples or oranges?

We're all good

Just a real quick note. I'm exhausted and it's not even 10 pm yet. We have Corban. WE are all alive and well.

Corban is still really confused as to whats' going on. He's taking a long time adjusting to things. My parents haven't even gotten to hold him yet. Today he actually held each of their hadns which was a big step forward. It's going to be a long slow process for all of us to adjust to each other.

Don't be surprised if he's very shy when he sees you for the first time..,..or the second time or the third time. He'll come around. He's adjusting to everything.

This all being said, he's the most beautiful thing we've ever seen in our lives! He's so dang cute. Ok more later, i gotta go get some sleep

THIS IS IT!

It's 7:15am. We are at the Holiday Inn near Dulles Airport just outside of Washington DC. In 15 minutes we're leaving to go to the airport.

When we get there we have to ask lots of questions to figure out where we actually need to be. In not too long, a little boy who we've all been waiting for will be here! FOR REAL THIS TIME!

Scared, excited, nervous, emotional.

Calendar updates and stuff

I put some more info onto the calendar at the right over there.

This Sunday is the first week of Kidstuf Family Vacation. It's over at 7:30....and there's ice cream. Come for the whole night, eat ice cream and then we'll have a youthy groupy until 8:30.

This coming week Marjorie and I fly to Washington DC to pick up Corban. So you can better pray for us and our travels I put our itinerary on the calendar.

Though I wasn't sure last week.....there IS Rec. next Wednesday. I won't be there, but Brian will do it for me.

Next Sunday there is Kidstuf Family Vacation, but no regular youth group.

JULY24th.......it's a Monday Night. SWIMMING at CAR pool. We've rented the whole place out. Bring your family for good times. Mark it on your home calendar and tell your parents.

Also....check the calendar......if you don't see your birthday on there, it's because for some reason I don't have it.....that means I need to get it from you!

What's up

Here's a whole bunch of times and dates for you.....along with some news.

1. Sunday July 2nd. Regular youth group time, regular youth group place. 6:30-8 at church. Bring a stick of gum (that's optional)

2. Monday July 3rd. This is just if you want to. At 3pm there is a group of people getting together to actually put the REVOLUTION FLOAT together. The design is already taken care of, we just need to put it on the truck etc. This is going to take a bunch of people and you could be one of them!

3. 4th of July. WE WANT YOU to be in the parade with us. It'll be pretty cool. We're meeting at 9am behind the YMCA. Just look for a mass of rowdy teenagers with the coolest float down there.....that'll be us. We have T-shirts printed up and they ROCK!!!! I'm serious. I love these shirts. If you come on the 4th they're only 5 bucks. After that they'll jump to 10....which I still think is a steal. Please bring exactly 5 dollars if possible for your shirt. The idea is that people see this giant wave of adults and teens walking toward them giving out stuff. It'll be cool.

4. BIG NEWS!!!! CORBAN IS FINALLY COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For real this time. Our paperwork made it through Pittsburgh and there's nothing else that stands in our way. Less than two weeks and he'll be home! We're super stoked. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.

5. I like carrots.
