Bye Bye Bachelor Days!!

Just wanted to give everyone a big ole..."YIPPEE!!!" Susan and the boys returned from Indiana about 2:30am on Sat. morning. It was definitely too quiet around here with them gone. At some point last night, though, I realized I could use a little space in between what it's like with the boys here and not here. Too quiet vs. too rowdy and noisy. I guess I would never trade it in though.

Isaac went back to school today and enjoyed getting back. His teacher will now be sending homework home for every student every day to get them used to what it will be like in 1st grade. Isaac is already used to homework though. We've been doing homework with him for some time now trying to help him out.

Both Susan and Riley are under the weather after their trip. Of course, this is a very bad time of year for tree allergies. Amazingly enough, Isaac is doing pretty good.

We had a pizza fellowship Sunday after church. It was fun to be with the church body again in fellowship. With being so mobile, we are finding it difficult to have times of fun and fellowship. Hopefully, that will change some with the nicer weather. I

Isaac has his first baseball practice tonight at 6pm. Should be fun. If it's anything like basketball....oh boy! The team that Isaac was playing basketball against on Saturday afternoon would not allow our team to steal the ball or have a fast break. How frustrating!! I think we've gone to lax on making sure that kids' self-esteem is kept at an all-time high. When they play ball in school or competitively, those kids are going to be real disappointed when people steal the ball from them all the time.

Oh well...off the soapbox. Should be an interesting week here in the northeast as I work among people who are completely surrounded by Catholicism. I look forward to sharing with some on Wednesday morning at one of our small groups.

Keep us in your prayers. Things are going well. Pray for wisdom for myself and our leaders. Pray that God would give them vision. Vision to look ahead and anticipate growth. Vision to help facilitate growth.

Later.
