Easter and almost a High Schooler (?!?!)


My little free spirit

My sensitive spirit
My HANDSOME boy
Chan, the photographer, took this one.
 

after the photo shoot...

Although we missed David terribly over Easter weekend, the kids and I had a very meaningful Easter. Chan participated in his first Lord's Supper at church which involved me prepping him about the significance all week long.

Other family news...Chan will be having surgery to remove the hardware from his ankles on April 27. He won't be in casts again but will be quite sore for a few weeks.  David has a new position with his current company- such an answer to prayer! He completed his training, and he's loving it.  Flying+teaching+new challenge= happier David!

Last week David and I had the privilege of attending Abigail's 8th grade dinner at her school. The school hosts this each year as a "sending off" to high school (sniff sniff!). The following photos were part of a slide show as one of her favorite teachers (who happens to be one of our good friends plus her discipleship leader) read a "scroll" about Abigail. One of the verses shared and a prayer from her teacher was from Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Her teacher (my friend) was shocked to hear me say that has been one of my main verses I've prayed for Abigail since she started middle school...love that!
