Time flies...

This month (an incredibly fast month), I was the teacher back in Jr. Church with the "Heroes of Faith" theme. On the last Sunday, we awarded everyone who met the requirements a certificate for completing the theme. We also had 8 brand new kids this month. Exciting!!!

Wes and I could sure use some extra prayers over the next few weeks. If you don't have anything else on your mind...please remember us! :)

My kids sent home flowers with Wes. They're already just about dead, but it was sweet!!

I did it!

I caught the flu bug or whatever's going around. Stayed home from school yesterday and slept all day. Feeling better today, but decided not to push it...still feelin' a little queasy...may go in later. All I gotta say is...I'm so glad I didn't have morning sickness!!!

Rude Awakening!!!

Instead of setting your alarm clocks, how about getting shook awake by an earthquake? Think that would wake you up?? Only problem is...you can't hit the Snooze button.

About 5:30 this morning, Wes and I (including baby) were abruptly startled out of our slumber by the sounds of our wall about to cave in! Ok...so maybe when you wake up, you don't have all your senses, but we felt the tremor from the earthquake in Illinois. Wes thought the tree had fallen on our house, then he thought we were having a tornado, then realized we were shaking because of another natural disaster. At least, he claims that's what all the shaking was...I'm pretty sure part of it was us clinging, in fright, to each other wondering what was going on! :) I guess it was a pretty big one.
Wes has been keeping tabs on it today, because it started about 6 miles from one of his close friends back home. Guess it rattled all their canning in the basement causing a fine mess. Yuck!

It's a beautiful day here and I'm off to do some cleaning! This weekend promises to be very busy!!!

I About Died...

LAUGHING when Janet asked Wesley to help her in Jr. Church today. Wesley and I, along with Darrin, took over Jr. Church for the month of April. We have been studying "Heroes of Faith" and along with that our community helpers. (See Karen W's blog for previous posts).

Today we talked about Jesus healing Jairus's daughter. So our "hero" today was the nurse. Janet did an excellent job telling the kids about some of the things she gets to do and about how Jesus helps her to witness.

After, she gave a fun little demonstration about hand washing. This is where Wesley comes in.

This is the hospital bear, Sunny. He helped Janet demonstrate how to correctly wash your hands.

We had 4 brand new kids come today! Some of the workers went calling yesterday to find some new kids. The kids seemed to really enjoy it and we hope they come back!!!
