Classic Joshua

Here's a few conversations that have taken place recently with Joshua (our six year old)...

#1 Maren and Josh

Maren: "Mom, Joshua's girl friend kissed his hand before he left school."
Josh: (with attitude) "I've got more than one girlfriend Maren."
Maren: "Josh, you're only supposed to have ONE girl friend."
Josh: "It's too late. I've got three."

#2 Josh and me

Josh: "Mom, where is it that we're going this weekend?"
Me: "Ohio."
Josh: "Do they talk like we do?"

#3 Josh to Grandma Merle:

Josh: "Maren's got braces, and Mom's getting braces. (pause) Me, Dad, and Will are getting beards."

Takin' Care of Blog Business

Hey! I added a few new links under the "sites I visit", and I wanted to mention them here.

First, I added Wendy Pope. Wendy is a Speaker and Writer with Proverbs 31 Ministries, and she is coming to our church for a ladies retreat on May 3rd, 2008...Yay!!! I love Wendy Pope, and I know you (my fellow FCC friends) will enjoy her as well!

I also added Christy Sutherland, many of you met Christy when she sang at our church in September. You'll also now find Jeff and Linda Noel's blog in my side bar, as well as, WTHI-TV, and our church website, marshallfcc.org.

I also wanted to mention that thanks to Chris Scott you can now get my CD via my website. I believe we still need to tweak the audio samples, they sound a little digitized, but you can purchase a hard copy of the CD by clicking on "music" and/or "online store" via my website. Thanks Topher!

Fun Weekends!

Okay, I feel a bit like a truck driver, having logged in over 20 hours in the car over the past two weekends! However, as I type this I'm thinking that my friend Gretchen has me beat. I'm guessing that she's logged in over 24 hours the past two weekends. (on totally different trips than us)

Anyway, both weekends have been a blast. Last week (as I mentioned in a prior post) we did the Harvest Show which is broadcast from South Bend, that was eight hours round trip. This weekend we spent the weekend with the Rudy family from Pennsylvania. We met them in Sandusky, Ohio.

I met Beth Rudy last year. She writes a daily devotion called "Prayer Pal" and God bonded our hearts. Over the past year our boys have also became very good friends via the internet. So we thought it would be fun to get the whole family together.

Beth planned a trip for us at an indoor water park, and we had a blast! Below is a picture of the whole hee haw gang taken beside Lake Erie.
