Catching Up Again!



I have been even more lax about updating on here since I got on Facebook! It has been so fun catching up with friends from High School and College and Camp. It has been a blessing to have my Cedar Crest buddies around again! And I love keeping up with my girl friends Valerie and Shannon and others who have moved away from Bowling Green. Unfortunately Facebook has kept me from here :)
So, here I am catching up again! The pictures are of Wesley on the ice skating rink that was made in the kiddie pool. And my cheerleaders working on a stunt that was more difficult than any I have done with a squad. They did a fantastic job with it!
It has taken a long time to get back into a routine with school since the holidays. We are getting there though and have a couple of great field trips coming up in the next few weeks! My friends Janet and Linda and I have agreed to organize the Enrichment Day activities again next year and I am looking forward to discovering new topics for next year. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
The church is gearing up for the Easter Pagent! I love Rich Pond and the way that a large portion of the church steps in and gets the job done! Jim has us returning to a script that we haven't done in years which means relearning music and reworking the set. So much fun and excitment! Pray for Jim as he seeks the Lord's guidance for the Pageant.
Alice's house has sold and she will finally be leaving for Africa! I can't begin to say how much I will miss her! We have been working together a lot lately (since she took on children's ministries) and she has blessed me and my family in so many ways. While I am sad to have her leave I am also so excited for her and the work she will be doing there. Steve was right this morning, Alice was formed for Africa! I cherish the example she is to our children! They have come to love her as much as we do and that can only make the sacrific missionaries make so much more real to them. Alice was formed for this reason too...
