Cutie Pies

I went online tonight to check out the Eagle Report, Kent City Schools' monthly newsletter to the community. What a happy surprise to see two familiar, darling faces smiling at me from my screen! Isn't that fun?! The caption underneath is great, too, and true for our kiddos!

(And yes, I did read much of the newsletter, too. :)

P.S. Jasmine is Robyn's "bestest" friend.

Field Day Fun

Nathan had Field Day last week - a fun day for all! I was scheduled to help with the obstacle course. A little later, I looked around the track and there was Ken! He came over and asked for the camera and said, "I was at church and I just couldn't miss Field Day!" Hearing the kids' laughter, cheers, and watching them enjoy the activities was great. I was amazed at the variety of sizes of the children - height, weight, and all. Nathan said he enjoyed the races the best of the 'field' events. The schedule for the day included an hour of field day activities, an hour of bounce party (inflatables) activities, culminated with a pizza lunch at the local park. He had a wonderful first grade year, but on Monday at breakfast he thanked God that "summer vacation is finally here." (we all are!) I'm glad he's home & we're looking forward to a great summer together.

Here She Is.....

. . . after over two years of paperwork, waiting, signatures, waiting, waiting, and more waiting (Amy was in her "9th month of pregnancy" for at least the last six months!), the Fisher Forever Family of Four is together!! They are in China and Emma (20 months old) is IN THEIR ARMS at long last! We're so happy for you, guys! Their joy and the journey brings me to tears of happiness for them. They are dear friends and colleagues - Josh is the Worship Pastor at KCBC. Our kids have been poring over the pictures on the computer. Last night Seth prayed, "Thank you God for Emma Mei be with her family." I learn from the simple truths and faith of my children.

Please pray for them - that Emma will have a quick and strong bond to Amy, Josh, and Katelyn (our now 7 year old best friend-yesterday, the day they got Emma, was Katelyn's birthday!) and that the rest of their trip will be safe and special. Enjoy the pictures!
