Busy Weekend


This weekend was registration weekend for Adam at Huntington. He's got his classes, and he's got his books, and he reports August 10 (early for soccer) to begin his collegiate career. I must admit I had some teary moments during some alone time adjusting to what is to come. I'm so excited for Adam, though, because he, like Todd, has chosen a wonderful college to go to. I'm so excited to watch as God shapes and molds their futures!
Last night was a jazz concert in the park sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Todd Jr played keyboard as a fill-in for Mike Wilson, who normally does it. It was a nice evening for it, and we enjoyed the concert very much. Some rain had gone through earlier and cooled it down a bit. We came home and had peanut butter pie and coffee. It was a nice way to end a busy day! I'll try to post a little snip-it of the concert I recorded on my camera just for fun.

Summer...

I'm thinking maybe I should rename my blog. "Another day in the life" was way too ambitious. Maybe it should be "Another month in the life..." or "Another year in the life..." and then maybe I wouldn't feel quite so guilty about not keeping it up...




Summer is here (big smile)! Since last update, we have finished school, graduated Adam and finished club soccer season, and another month has gone by.





The events around Adam's graduation were a lot of fun. Dad and Mom and Betty were able to fly out from Phoenix and stay with us. The party went very well, and we were blessed to have so many friends stop by.


Wednesday was our end of the season soccer party, and I'm sad that it's over. This was a new team for Adam this year, and we really loved all the guys and their parents. Since 14 of the 18 players were seniors, the team is officially disbanded. They finished up their season winning the Fort Wayne Invitational U19 division.
Adam is second from left on bottom (no more curls, shaved them off at 11:00pm the night before). Josh, his roommate for Huntington, is second from right on bottom. Josh will also be playing soccer for Huntington, and we were fortunate to get to know his parents during the season.
Looking ahead, Todd Jr is home much of the time which has been really nice. He and Ashley are trading off spending weekends here and in Twinsburg, and Daniel is getting to hang out with Josiah a lot which is always fun. Adam goes to CDYC June 25-29 and then is home for two days and then off to Kenya July 2, returning on July 19. **Please keep him and the whole team in your prayers for safe travels and a wonderful trip.
Todd and I are working on projects around the house and enjoying a little less hectic life (okay, not really, but I can hope, can't I?) God is so good and so faithful! We are blessed!
