From Day to Evening

As I left a leadership meeting for our upcoming deployment I felt unsettled about what will be ahead for our family.  Along the road I saw a distinct line between day and evening across the sky.  It was a beautiful effect and I was reminded that God has my days in his hand just as evening comes every day - there is a consistency in God's working and our future even if I don't know it! :)

Margo's First Communion

Margo had her first communion since being baptized.  We wanted to wait until Jim could join us and we were finally able to partake as a family.  Margo was very excited but also reserved.  We are excited about the steps of faith that she is making.

Late Night Sonicing

Getting Sonic slushies and desserts - JD didn't find the festivities as fun as we did so we had to head home before we ate our treats, but it was still a fun outing anyway!
