Our week - In Pictures!

 Spring Break came and went! It flew by WAY too quickly, and we filled our week up with memories and moments. To be honest, I about got nothing done on my “to-do” list except I did clean a closet! It would be impossible to write about all our adventures from the past week, so I’ve decided to keep it to picture form mostly!

My sister, Hannah, and her husband, Josh, and their family came to visit, and we treasured those memories. They have three adorable foster children, and while we took a lot of pictures, we just can’t share those. However, they would absolutely appreciate your prayers as they continue to work with their foster children. 

                                                         The Smith family, from Maine, stopped by on Friday afternoon. We treasured the few hours we had together, and it was so good to re-connect. We miss them all!

We went to the beach with Josh and Hannah on Thursday. It was a beautiful beach day.  A few highlights would be that Travis rode with Hannah and Josh. One of their little ones got sick in the car at the exact moment that the car ran out of gas! There were a few moments of excitement as we figured out a plan, but God is good! 

The boys had a baseball tournament on Monday and Tuesday (one game on each day). It wasn’t a very exciting time for them as they didn’t get very much playing time. However, it was a good time with friends afterwards and we are thankful for the memories. 

We went strawberry picking on Saturday morning! The berries were beautiful, and it didn’t take us very long to pick a bunch of berries. We were blessed with some beautiful weather over this break week! 

Is it even “Spring Break week” if we don’t go to the park to play ball and eat out?! :) 

                                We ended up with 33 people at our house for Easter Dinner on Sunday afternoon! The last family we invited, I ran into them at Walmart on Saturday night. I found out that they didn’t have any Easter dinner plans, so I invited them to our house. When I called Roger, I said, “Babe, I found some people at Walmart and invited them to our house for lunch tomorrow.” Roger didn’t even miss a beat, “Okay,” he replied, “did the greeter not have a place for lunch tomorrow?” We got a chuckle out of it, but I’m so glad that Roger is always happy to have people at our house for a meal together. God is so good. 

                                   We are thankful for neighbors! We had a stray dog in our yard a few weeks ago, and while trying to find the owner, we met another neighbor. He told the boys that they could use his pond anytime, so the boys tried it out over spring break with their friends. They were happy to catch some fish!

 

He is Risen! Oh, how we are thrilled to celebrate Resurrection Sunday! It was a wonderful day celebrating Jesus’ Resurrection. We are so thankful that He is Risen Indeed! I know that my Redeemer lives! 

We were blessed by a very full and busy week. We soaked up a lot of memories and ate a lot of food! Roger and I were counting up how many extra people we fed over the course of the week, and we fed 73 extra meals! (I’m not saying that to brag, but someday I’m going to get old and forget!) We are thankful to have a home in which we can be hospitable, and we love to have our family and freinds over. We had over several school friends and church friends, and family and friends from afar. We are so blessed! I hope that you had a wonderful week as well.
