The Weekend...

At the Primary School on friday, Jana and Victoria participated in a cultural learning experience about Japan. Victoria came home with chopsticks wanting to know how to use them. So, I decided we'd have a family cultural experience... ha ha... I pulled out some wooden chopsticks I'd purchased when I traveled to Vietnam a couple years ago and ordered Chinese food. We had a blast trying to eat Sweet & Sour Chicken with Shrimp Fried Rice - yum! A lot of concentration was taking place at the table...
As well as celebration when they could get it to work...

There was a little permissible cheating going on... ha...




Saturday, following fun at James' soccer game, we had a field trip to Wally World for some inexpensive entertainment... The girls needed new swimsuits and we spent $18 for some backyard fun... Victoria was napping when I took this picture... she is still recovering from a week of cousins and weekend of fun with Babushka... My oldest three played for hours in this little wading pool! We laid towels out and had a picnic on our deck. Priceless fun!
We had a wonderful day of worship with our TBC family Sunday. Pastor Andy did a wonderful job expositing the Word on the subject of worship... wrapping up the Nehemiah series... may we live lives of worship unto the One who alone is worthy!

"For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 11:36-12:2

Many of you know, Tony's return from Ukraine was delayed due to the aftermath of Iceland's volcanic eruption. He was supposed to have returned this past Saturday. Now we are praying for his safe return to us on Wednesday night. We are doing well and appreciate all your thoughtfulness and prayers!
