Splish Splash

We visited a Splash Park in Indiana as part of Jackson's birthday party. After they were done playing at the park, opening gifts, and eating cake they cooled off in the water. It was a ton of fun for the kids and some of the adults too! It was hard to stay dry for those of us who weren't dressed for the occasion.

Power Lab

Our week of Power Lab vacation bible school was a huge success. The children learned about Jesus' miraculous power. We talked all week about how Jesus gives us the power to be Thankful, helpful, brave, to live forever and he also gives us the power to tell others about Jesus. It was a really fun time!!!

Update on Matt's Leg

As most of you know on April 21st Matt broke his fibula and tibia playing softball. He is now almost 8 weeks into the process of healing. Matt meets with a physical therapist 3 days a week and does many exercises at home so that he can be back to 100%. He met with the surgeon today for a follow-up appointment and he got a very good report. Matt no longer has to wear the Air Cast which is a huge blessing. He is doing so well walking with no crutches or cane. He can start wearing his regular shoes and going about his business as tolerated. Thank you all for the prayers. His leg is healing perfectly! The doctor could not have been more pleased with what he saw today on the x-rays. We are very happy to know that he is on the road to a full recovery.

Meeting the Rams

As most of you know, my husband Matt enjoys sports of EVERY kind. It really doesn't matter what the sport is, he will find the joy in it. He was able to have the opportunity to go to a Rams closed practice and meet some of the players, the coaches and some of the staff. He really enjoyed his day at the Rams Practice Facility. Matt was being honored for the great work that he does for the United States Air Force. I am so proud of him and all he has accomplished.
