new favorites

i'm starting them young...

If I want to spend a moment on the computer...that moment looks like this.  There is not a lot of free time right now, but there is plenty to enjoy.

wet n' wild wednesday

Wednesday is the kids' favorite club day.  There's lots of water games and they get to soak the club leaders.  I am totally useless this week when it comes to club, but Adam and my mom have been great hosts.  We have seen one little boy pray and put his faith in Jesus, which makes it all worthwhile.

backyard bible club

This is our second year to host a backyard Bible club in our neighborhood.  It feels a little crazy to be doing one this year, having a one-week-old baby.  But Adam and the girls have taken over all the responsibilities and have loved doing it!  They had a good time inviting the neighborhood kids (and getting out of the house with people, I think).  We are excited to have an evening club this year, just for the opportunity to interact with some of the parents.  Adam cooked out for the parents and it allowed some time with our neighbors.

It never fails, if we invite our neighbors over for a cookout and fellowship...it always rains!  Here we are staring at a hard rain and praying that our club could take place.  The rain went away soon after some kids arrived and we had about 8 kids join us.

The thing I love about Bible clubs is that they are led by teenagers from our church.  These guys and gals give away a lot of their time in the summer to train to teach our clubs.  This week our team will lead 4 clubs a day all week long.  They teach the kids a Bible story, play games with them, and share the gospel each day.  My kids love getting to know them.  They really have great influence with these little kids.

She loves becoming a big sister.  Our little one has two affectionate big sisters, and I am grateful that they adore her so much.

happy 4th of July

she's here!

Our baby girl is here! She was born on Sunday, June 29th at 3:27pm. She weighed 8lbs 5oz and is 21 inches long. Mom and baby are doing well after a long labor. We are all in love! The big sisters were fascinated with her and can't keep their hands & kisses off of her. We are home getting to know each other now. More pictures to come soon.

with love, Kendall & Adam
