She opened presents as people arrrived. A very nice touch and then we could focus on cake and ice cream. 3 kinds of each!

Father's Day 2007
Let me start with one key aspect from my Mother's Day post. If you have not spoken with your father recently I URGE YOU TO RIGHT NOW.
Father's are strange creatures! Most of us have a very tender heart but seldom show it. As much as we are strong we are also too weak to say or do many of those things we should have as fathers to our sons and daughters. We need to connect with our kids often.
The last several months have had life changing questions and as yet have no answers or significant developments. None are health related! I continue to trust in God's sovereignty and guidance for my life. Oh, there are days that are down and a struggle but God is good and provides strength

hmm 2 weeks no post
Well not terribly busy, just distracted.
Melissa will be home for a visit in less than 4 weeks!
Life continues.
I survived the Power Hour Grade 5 sleepover. Even when 4 boys decided to pull an all nighter. Pretty quiet until the sun came up around 4 am and they could see 2 deer across the field. That meant get them out so the others had enough quiet to sleep. Who would have thought they would be willing to pick up mini marshmallows that had been out all night. We used marshmallow shooters similar to this (blowers - no alcohol involved)http://www.curriculumconnection.net/marshmallowgun.htm
Life continues, work, eat, rest, feed the internet addiction.
Love and encourgement to all
