Last month Luke went on a missions trip to Bahamas with a group from church.

He said that it was a great experience and he hopes to go again next year.

They went to help with the annual Vacation Bible School.

"Huddle" (study) groups and other random pictures...

 ...more huddle groups.

 Pastor Jason Lowe and his family.

All the kids and group leaders for VBS. 

The group from our church. (and the Lowe kids) ;)

At home more recently I went out to look at our flower gardens, and although I have shamefully neglected them this year they still seem to be thriving. :)

Among many other things coming out of the garden, corn is one of our favorites! 

 I have babysat these kids several times lately (the stories I could tell), and found out it is impossible to get them all still for a picture! ;)

And this is what we still have time for once in a while... a goofy picture! 

Have a great day!

A few happenings...

 Dad, Mom, and Kaity went to Florida to see Rick perform in a play, while there they also saw Eli.

Spring concerts are finally over, I enjoyed them but it is definitely a relief to have them over with!

 These pictures are from two of the seven concerts.

~Story time with Papa~

Aunt Lizzie is a pretty good story reader too! ;)

In April we were able to meet up with the Sikma family and enjoy a day with them!

So much fun!

We went to Cantigny Park - There is a war museum and a historical mansion on the property that we went through.
