Give The People What They Want!













In the unending effort to keep the readers of this blog happy, and in the absence of my 4 year old neighbor Brady, I bring you another batch of 4 year olds...our God Children Isaiah, Erik and Chloe. Today we celebrated their 4th birthday...cubed, as these three little ones are triplets. Erik is the red haired guy, Isaiah has brown hair, and Chloe...well Chloe is the princess! It was about 3 and a half years ago, as we drove through Fargo, North Dakota (that is a whole 'nother story) that our friends Dan and Neilene (pronounced Nahhhhh-leeeennnn...think like a Texan!) told us that they were going to be adopting triplet babies from a rather distant relative. As you can see, they are growing into quite a little group. The two boys form a very effective two man wrecking crew, while Chloe looks on, nodding her disapproval.
You may be wondering about the giant tennis ball pictured at the top of the page. Well...as Nahhhhh-leeeennnn was shopping for birthday presents she came across this behemoth at Walmart, and just had to get it for Kay. She seems to believe that Kay has a difficult time hitting the regular sized ball...pictured on the right, so the larger version might offer a better chance at success. I know that it will draw more than a few laughs on the tennis court tomorrow morning, and it will be a real hoot watching Lucy, Brady's black lab, trying to run it down and bring it back once they all return from Boise.
A quick note on our church service this morning. I was thinking that if we had more than 100 people it would be a good turn out. Last week, for our initial service in the new church, we had 152. Our attendance totaled 125 so it was a real joy once again. There was a page and a half of visitors that signed our guest book. Next week, being Easter, will no doubt bring us a lot more guests. God is most certainly good and gracious in the gifts that he is giving to us, and it is so amazing to step back and watch what he is doing!
