Running Lines


 Dearest Precious Angels-


Happy Monday!  We were tired this morning after the camping weekend.  Whew!  We were all home from work and school around 3:30pm.  Jeremiah, you're still on antibiotics for your toe, but it's looking better.  


OA is having their Fall Fellowship this coming weekend, so Faith and I helped Grace learn her Allowat Sakima lines for the Brotherhood ceremony.  Joshua, you had a headache, but it started to feel better by late this evening.  


Sleep tight little ones!


I love you all so much!

Hashbrowns!


 Dearest Joshua David, Grace Elizabeth, Faith Olivia, Jacob Samuel, and Jeremiah William-


Happy FriYAY, Saturday, and Sunday!  This was a busy weekend!


First, this is the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center Twin Towers.  


Jeremiah, you're still soaking your toe and taking antibiotics.  


Jacob and Jeremiah, you two went to the Troop hike at Umstead on Saturday.  You all did 5 miles.  


Grace, Faith, and I went to Camp Durant .... Grace participated in the Wood Badge as a part of the youth staff.  All Hail the Quail!  She's a Bobwhite!  And her into video was a hit!  Everyone loves it!  Faith participated in NYLT and is in the Tan Patrol named the Hashbrowns!  What's for breakfast?  Hashbrowns!  :-)  I camped and chaperoned with NYLT.  It was hot and we got stormed on Saturday evening.  Grace was in a cabin, but Faith and I were sweating and got rained on.  Haha!  


Sleep tight little ones!


I love you all so much!

VC Of Finance


 Dearest Precious Angels- 


Happy Thursday!  Today was another work and school day.  


After school I took Jeremiah to Urgent Care .... you have a nasty infection on your left big toe from an ingrown toenail.  You started on oral and topical antibiotics.  I hope it clears up soon. 


This evening we had our Kiowa OA meeting.  It was Chapter elections and Joshua is now the VC of Finance!  I'm proud of you!  


Sleep tight little ones!


I love you all so much!

Kicking Stripe


 Dearest Precious Angels-


Happy Wednesday!  I covered the clinic today since Dr Shelly was off.  Daddy picked up the high schoolers and I picked up the middle schoolers.  


Daddy had Praise Team practice this evening.  I took everyone to taekwondo, except Jeremiah.  You hurt your toe so you stayed home and rested it.  The rest of us got our 'kicking' stripe for our belt for testing.  :-)


Sleep tight little ones!


I love you all so much!

16 Of 33 Chapters


 Dearest Miracles-


Happy Tuesday!


Today was back to school and back to work for everyone.  Jacob, you had your first Spanish class today since switching out of Chinese.  Jeremiah is in a different Spanish class but he was able to show you where your class was located.   


I got home around 6pm.  This evening we played or did homework.  I worked on my Wilderness First Aid classes some .... I've finished 16 out of 33 chapters.  The practical part of the course is Oct 3rd.  


Sleep tight little ones!


I love you all so much!

Labor Day


Dearest Joshua David, Grace Elizabeth, Faith Olivia, Jacob Samuel, and Jeremiah William~ 

Happy Labor Day from these 5 hard workers .... who hardly work.  🥰🤣


God is good!  😀


We met up with Grandpa Jim, Gigi, and Uncle James this morning for bowling.  Jacob and Jeremiah were team captains and the teams were:


Jacob

Grace

Gigi

Grandpa Jim 

Me


Jeremiah 

Faith

Joshua

Daddy

Uncle James 


Our team won all the games .... and I scored a 129 in the first game (the high of the day)!  Grace was second with a 126 during the second game.  We all played with the bumpers up - haha!  


We had a fun lunch at Shane's Rib Shack afterwards.  


This afternoon we watched the first Spiderman movie (the Tom Holland one).  There's a new movie out, so we're trying to rewatch them since we forgot everything from the prior ones.   Haha!


Sleep tight little ones!


I love you all so much!

Back To School Sunday


 Dearest Precious Angels-


Happy Sunday!


Daddy was in the Praise Team this morning for both services.  I was the lone photographer.  Pastor Andy shared a photo montage video on social media of this morning .... and guess who took all the photos?  This girl!  😉  


It was Back to School Sunday at church this morning where we got to pray over our students and adult educators. 🎒✏️  You all stood up for the student section for us pray over you all.  


This is always an encouraging Sunday where we get to lift up students and teachers and remind us all who we place our trust in year round .... Jesus!  🙏🏻🥰


God is good!  😀


Grandpa Jim was at church with us.  


This afternoon we got stuff done around the house and played.  Grace, your eye is slowly looking better.  We keep putting the warm compress on it and the antibiotic cream.  


Sleep tight little ones!


I love you all so much!
