More July Fun....

We went to a farm to see where milk comes from. Sofi was not excited once we got there. She is very particular about cleanliness. She was "gwossed out". Lize and Will loved every minute. Sofi kept saying things "cows are nasty", "they all need a bath", "they stwink" and "wet's get out of hewre".

Fun at the lake with Faith. Faith if from the same place as Lize. We went with her parents to get the girls. She is 6, Sofi 4 and Lize 3.

Sofi waiting for candy at the 4th of July parade. I'm not sure if just getting older, going to China, the state of our counties leadership or the fact a bloggy friends son Ryan is giving his life for our country but I am much more patriotic than I ever have been. I love this place. No where else in this world on earth do we have so many blessings. We also are blessed to have people serve through choice.

Zach and Giles here were planning on what trouble they could get in to later.

Lize loved the parade (i'm sure it had nothing to do with candy).

Summer Fun....

Will's holding his breath till his turn to go tubing.....

Change????

During my recent " pity party", GOD reminded me of Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you "declares the LORD" Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
The past 6 weeks have been a whirlwind--first we moved to a rental house while waiting for James company to firm up plans where we were going to live. It looked like we were moving to suburb of Detroit MI. When a very large, stable and well known company in his industry called about a job. After 3 weeks of praying and waiting for GOD's direction, all our plans changed again.
He took the job with the new company which has been an unbelievable miracle in many ways. Better benefits, insurance, less travel.....
We get to stay in WI about 90 min north of where we are. This will be the 4th move in 1 year. Although we have a mover this time, I was a little overwhelmed. I'm not good with change but GOD has been clear with HIS words and promises.

We are still here.....

We are still here. LOTS of life stuff going on. Grandma always said if you don't have something nice to say, don't say nothing!
