Amazing Life!

So I figured it's time for an update. Not much different has been going on since the last update. Church is going well, averaging in the mid 120s now. Spent time in Indiana after Easter. Good to get away and see family and a lot of Warsaw people. Spent some time sick last week, as well as Susan finishing it up this week. Took Eli to a duPont Children's Hospital to check out a funky infected rash on his scalp. Fun stuff.

Sometimes it's just not easy thinking of stuff to write on here. You know, when you grow up and you're basically living the same life every day, it can be a bit boring and seem a bit mundane. Life doesn't slow down for us here though. I continually enjoy what I'm doing. There have been days of extreme frustration, but I don't know that I would trade it for much of anything right now. Except maybe a 2 week vacation in the sun with my wife. Like that's happening anytime soon. (note tongue in cheek)

Our life is good. Not always easy, especially with three boys now, but still good. I was talking with someone recently about living and doing church work out here. I was telling them that I don't know that I could go back to the midwest any time soon. There are so many new opportunities here on the east coast. I am fascinated by it. I'm overwhelmed by it sometimes, in a good way. It invigorates and enlivens me thinking about all the possibilities that are out here. WOW is about all I can say.

Anyway, enough of the tangent on the east coast. Isaac is playing baseball and having a blast. He is one of the youngest on the team so he sits more than the others. Not saying it's right, but it's a fact. He is figuring out timing with the pitching machine. Really cool. He was 3-3 the other day and scored 1 one. He's having fun and that's important.

Riley is Riley. He is our choleric personality. He makes life fun for me, the phlegmatic. (I've been reading again, haven't I?) He loves people and being around people and controlling people. LOL.

Eli is adorable. He smiles a lot and lights up a room with his smile. We had pictures taken just over a week ago and he smiled the whole time. Neither the photographer nor Mom and Dad had to work very hard to get him to "ham it up" for the camera.

Susan is doing well. For Mother's Day I gave her the illness that I battled most of last week. Aren't I generous and thoughtful? Having three kids and being sick I saw how hard mothers really work. And then I found out first-hand when Susan did get sick. What an amazing wife I have!!

What an amazing life I have, too!!
