Power Up Club Week

We had Power Up Clubs at our house this week, and it seemed extra special! We had a wonderful time getting to know our new neighbors and visiting with some long-time friends. 

Special "Thanks!!!" to the amazing teens who showed up each day to play with and teach our children!

And then there was Anna.

She loved on Matthew all week.

God bless her!

Pennsylvania!

We spent some wonderful time with family in Pennsylvania! The highlights of our vacation were spending time with family, sleeping on the train, taking multiple hay rides around the surrounding farms, watching the children drive Grandpa's tractor, visiting with the Amish family next door, watching the cows each evening, having water gun fights with each other (and the corn fields), playing soccer in the field with James' family, swimming in James' warm(!!!) pool, sitting under a tree at Grandpa's house enjoying cool breezes, watching the horse and buggies pass by Grandpa's house, playing frizbe as the sun set, catching lightning bugs, and just enjoying the beautiful countryside! Pennsylvania will always be "home".

Water gun figh against the cornfields. Who will win?

Trip to the Hershey factory:

The farm belonging to the Amish family we got to spents lots of time with. So fun!

Field Trip

Pennsylvania bound!

This crew is about to board a double-decker train to spend the night sleeping on the top deck. They are over-the-top excited! Memory making, here we come!

When boys are quiet...

I always go checking on them.

Tonight, I found Andrew reading the children's Bible to the boys.

Each time I checked in on them, the boys were in a different area of their bedroom still reading. Andrew read probably 15+ stories to them.

God bless them all!

Happy Independence Day!!
