Congrats!

No posting since Wednesday??  Wow! I'm a slacker!  So sorry faithful readers.

We spent the weekend in Grand Rapids at a fine arts competition for our kiddos.  They both did amazing!  So proud of them both.  We were able to record everything and if I can figure out how to save that to my computer and then get it to post here - I will share it with you.  They knocked it out of the park.  Elyse made it to nationals in every category she and her teammates entered.  Jon's team did a terrific job and even though they didn't make it to nationals on this, their very first year - they worked hard and glorified Jesus in their performance.  That's all we can ask :)

Proud Mom moments I tell 'ya.  This was Elyse's last year :(  Shed a few tears.  God has blessed me with 2 amazing kids and some days I just shake my head at the goodness of God in this area.  We've been given a gift we do not deserve in our kids and I am thankful for that.

Got to reconnect with some old friends as well - more on that later.  I totally forgot to take a single picture this weekend - which really upsets me.  With video taping the performances, it never dawned on me to grab my camera.  I'm living in regret over this one, trust me.  I'm hoping once I put the video on the computer, maybe I can figure out how to capture some still photos from that for Elyse's open house slide show coming up in a few months (that I have yet to set a date for!).

Gotta run for now.  I'll share more with you on the weekend later.  For now, it's time to go worship Jesus with friends!

Have a blessed Sunday everyone ~
