Why I haven’t blogged for 5 days

9.7.10

Labor Day Weekend — Family Camp at Young Life’s Lake Champion
We look forward to it year round with good reason.

Our kids competing against another family’s three kiddos during field games. Our kids lost. But, who cares when you can move right over to the batting competition and a family pyramid race and a wrestling competition in a stack of tubes.
Lydia loved strutting around the camp and did great in a bunk room of ladies in her pack and play.
She slept through each night with no problem (getting up early and staying up late helped with that, I think).
That’s our 4 year old nephew blobbing. He rocks.
Tubing pretty much rules.
as do ziplines.
Here’s my brave 6 year old girl–doesn’t look too hard, right? Well, look how high she was.
She did great. I was a little nervous. 
Little Miss Center of Attention. Jenna (in yellow) was adopted from China about 11 years ago as a baby. Pretty cool.
And, here we are on the screamer swing…screaming. 
Now, back to real life. We made school lunches already and got the backpacks ready for tomorrow.
(sigh)
But, it’s not too early to think about next year…anybody want to come with us?

Thursday’s Things to Pray For

9.2.10

  1. Praise for answered prayer for Evan! The transition has gone very well so far. He seems to really be liking 3rd grade! (all 2 days of it. He had to stay home today sick…couldn’t believe it. But, he was genuinely sad to stay home!) 
  2. Praise for more answered prayer! He’s been with me in a real way this week. Though the first day was a little sad for me, I have felt at peace and am feeling encouraged about this fall and what He has in store for each one of us.
  3. Pray for this weekend. We are headed up to Young Life’s Lake Champion for family camp! Not only do our kids look forward to this time nearly year round, it’s a fun time for us too (Mark and I met there back in 1997). Pray for Evan to be 100% tomorrow for us leaving and for safety for all of us and for the families we are bringing with us. May He be glorified in a mighty way this weekend and open the hearts of people to see Him maybe for the first time.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
