Marching on through March

We have had a fast couple of weeks. The time just goes quickly but I guess that's a sign that I'm old. We all went to a Casting Crowns' concert that came to Fort Wayne. Jeff and I have seen them before and always appreciate the message they bring with their concerts. The kids seemed to enjoy the big screens and the music. Matthew West and Royal Taylor were with Casting Crowns. Josh loved all the flips and tumbling that Royal Taylor did on stage. I think he could see himself doing that when he is bigger. Casting Crowns sang "Who Am I?" which is an all time favorite at this house.

We had our last Upwards basketball game and also an awards ceremony.  Josh and Cate have really grown in their confidence during this Upwards season.  They were both pretty shy at the beginning and by the last game they both did cartwheels and flips as they called their name and they ran through the tunnel onto the floor.  They are learning to be stars for Jesus!

Their teachers came to watch their game.  Thanks Ms. Brown and Mrs. Koch for your support.

  Grandma Carol and Grandpa Bob are faithful fans for Josh & Cate.  Jeff & I were their coaches.

Our favorite referee of all times!  Thanks Uncle Kirk for being there for us! 

Josh & Cate had a really fun weekend as they were invited for their first overnight to visit Moses and Sandria Boroff.  Moses and Sandria also came from King's Garden in the Philippines and they live about an hour from us.  They are like family to our kids and they had the best time visiting them.  Thanks Mom Julie for loving on us!

And last of all I have to of course post some pictures of my adorable grandson Nolan.  He's such a joy in our lives.  We are so blessed to have new children and grandchildren in our family!  We love it!

  God is good!  All the time!  and  All the time!  God is good!

So busy time really does fly.

Once again this week seemed to fly by.  On Thursday, Jeff's work (Raytheon) had an open house for families.  We got to all go out there and see where Daddy works.

On Friday, Nick & Autumn came to town with Nolan.  They spent the night on Friday and watched the game on Saturday. 

On Saturday we drove to Luke & Susi's (2 1/2 hours away) and spent the night.  We toured Luke's cool Indy car buidling and got to see some of the neat cars. 

We also went rock climbing and ate pizza king with them. 

On Sunday we drove to Grandma Joan's ( 2 hour car trip) for a visit.  She has a fun park we enjoyed.  Then we drove home (2 hr trip) so it was a lot of driving but we got to see many of our favorite family members.

That was a fun week.  In basketball this week we are learning about the virtue of "Faith." ....We live by believing and not by seeing.  2 Corinthians 5:7.   We love these weekly scriptures.  What great rules to live by.  We are counting on our God to lead us.  Thanks for reading the blog.
