    Wow! We are busy!!!

    Here is a response to Audrey's blog (I am glad she is putting things down)!!


    I am surprised you did not comment about jesse! It was a big deal Saturday (Very cold)! We waited in line for the autograph at Clay Terrace Grand opening. The video's of the songs he sang were great. Anyhow, we waited for Kimberly to show up from her stain-glass class. It was a great day!!!
    Note: Olivia loved it too but right now she is mainly concerned about jumping rope (forward&backward). Trevor was at Ryan's birthday party (Garage was decorated with Halloween stuff). He said he was the first to dunk his head in the water to get the apple. I hope he didn't mess up his "cow" retainer.
    Today we are off to Cinc./OH. WSe plan on visiting COSI and maybe carve a pumpkin.
    Actvities this month: Club56 corn maze (Audrey got paired up with Baily/Kaleigh). Greg was not their. We both had a cartoon made of us. Small group (Samme is ok). Olivia's Tea party (and 1st sleepover). Grissom air force museum/cubscouts. Audrey's 1st volleyball season is over (1 loss). The tournament is about to begin.

    Oh to be young!!


    Trevor asked me what age I first flirted (Of course, I said very young..4th grade). After that he asked to go last for "talk time". This request was made so he could talk to God first. It is very exciting that Trevor (3rd grade) is making new friends at school (boys and girls) as well as a friend in God!!

    Kiss-A-Frog


    This was the "Kiss-A-Frog weekend camping trip at McCormick Creek. Trevor led the 5th/6th graders in a night hike he found earlier in the day. Olivia loved to sit on anyones/everones lap. Audrey was looking to make new friends (And she did). Kimberly enjoyed the kids (and the snake she found) but wasn't real fond of the lack of a shower. I, loved most all of it.

    I came to the rescue of a group of girls who were struggling to get down the river in the canoe . Although I felt good at the moment (hero of sort), I quickly gave way to a younger adult member of the Club56. He got them downstream twice as fast as I was going. I noticed Olivia  was in canoe with Siera and Brookie (4th grader). The adult had gone to rescue others (I am thankful I was there to watch them get to the end). Actually, they were doing better than me!

    Of course there was song, dodgeball, somores, games, etc... (Plus Happy B-day to Audrey/Kimberly). Mike did a great job on verse memorization.

    1st Thesolonian 5:11 (1 finger out, 5 fingers out, 11 fingers out and a swipe behind the head)
    Therefore (Point and hold out 4 fingers), encourage one another (shake hands and clasp thumbs and pat the bak of your partner)
    and build each other up (fist, over fist, over fist...etc)
    Just like you are (English accent)
    Doing (Sayed like "doin" with arms crossed).

    Great weekend...Kimberly, Audrey, Trevor, Olivia, Jordan, John, Seth, Alex, Asley, Kimberly, Josh, Katie, Corissa, Jordan "J", Kyle, Greg, Jacob, Mike, Kelly, Gretchin, Neil, Raymond, Sean, Amy, Jessica, Siera, Ariana, Loren, Ryan, CoCo, Stephanie, Lindsey, Jason, Drew, Brook....That's all I remember for now.
