Who's in control?

The Fifth Grade class did a Stations of the Cross today. Here is Jesus. He is being led to the High Priest.

Jesus was arrested illegally and put on trial in the middle of the night.

One of the most profound thoughts of Holy Week is the fact that Jesus was in control of all the events.

That fact is a comforting truth for my life as well.

A Shadow

Our life now is only a shadow of what it will be like in heaven. Consider the beauty of the earth, the inexpressible joy, the warm sunshine of peace. Then remember that all of that is just a shadow of heaven.

I'm waiting with great anticipation!

Spring is Here!

Spring is here when coda makes his appearance! Boy has he grown too! Sydney found him - her second year in a row. Considering that she spends most of her time outside, it did not surprise me.

Looking Back Again

This is Amelia at about age 8 or 9. I love this girl!

On a field trip

I had the pleasure of accompanying Sydney on a field trip last week. We embarked out of Long Beach harbor to dig up the bottom of the ocean and see what we find!

It was a pleasure hangin' out with Syd. She was fun to be with and the day was a warm sunshiny day.

Hmm Softball...

As usual, Cole knew the ball/strike count and was highly interested in the game. I love this stance he has. Very "league of their own" Tom Hanks. He just needs a wad in his mouth and to spit on the ground.

Jumping!

I'm so glad I stayed to watch Amelia jump. So worth it.

Cheering on the Lightning

Amelia and I agreed today that food is a great thing at Softball games. Shaved ice, hot dogs, nachos, soda, candy.

Sydney got an RBI and hit off the pitcher. We had to celebrate at Baskin N Robbins.

Catching

Sydney got to be catcher! She said she liked it, but she didn't catch all the balls.

Servant Heart

Here's a story to tell! I asked Amelia to put something in my room and I came in later and she was folding my clothes and had made my bed.... wow! I am blessed.

It is definitely the little things in life that show love and Jesus in our hearts.

Grandma Day

My mom and I have a dream to look good in pictures. I think this is a good picture of my mom. Thankfully I have two girls that inherited some hidden recessive gene to be photogenic.

I'm so glad Amelia has found Horse Back Riding.

Reverie

Still dreaming of her bare back ride on Chucky.

Long hair

This was taken a few years ago when amelia used to play around with my computer. This is just one shot in a story she was telling. I like it because she looks like she is praying and it reminds me of her long hair.

Picnik

This is me thinking about the Scientific process at school. I played with the effects on picnik.com
