Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Guess Who Is Coming Home?


Yep, Danielle is coming home for a visit and Hannah is beside herself with anticipation, she gets to share a room with her big sister while she is home!! Danielle was last home on Thanksgiving and she had just gotten engaged. We will be spending tomorrow in Eugene wedding dress shopping with my mom and Erinn!!
Hannah has been invited to a photo shoot for her ballet studio. They are doing new advertisement brochures and recital brochures. Interestingly, Hannah has only been in ballet for 2 months and is not even in the recital! I think they were going for the diversity shot. That is OK, Hannah will enjoy the experience.
Caleb has started flag football. He played tackle last year and did not like the tackling, so we thought this might be a better fit. It is interesting that the two teams could not be much more different. His tackle football team last year had the former North Medford High School coach for head coach (his grandson was on the team), they practiced a lot, were very intense and strict, and they won every game they played by at least 20 points. Now this flag football team is ALL about fun. They had 10 kids for their practice (one a week, for an hour) and three of the little boys did not listen much at all and one of them spent most of his time on the ground complaining about something. The coach was hard pressed to talk to them at all. Well they have had two practices and they have their first game tomorrow. I do not believe half the team has any idea what they are doing-seriously! It will be interesting!
Drew has his big special occasion tonight, I will post more on it later. For now suffice it to say he asked me to iron and he got a hair cut for the special night!
Drew will be racing at the Oregon Relay's tomorrow night. The University of Oregon will be running a meet with the top high schools in conjunction with their own college meet. It will be a long day for Drew, but he has qualified to run in the top seeded 1500M and 800M races. He is hoping the intense competition will help him lower his times.
Erinn and David will be helping at a high school track meet tonight. David is coordinating all the Rotary volunteers and Erinn will be running the shot put with a college friend of hers. They have both joined the church softball team also and have their first game on Sunday.
So with the girls headed early to Eugene to go shopping and Drew off with the team to Eugene, that leaves Mr. Dad in charge of the little ones!! He was asking me this morning if he can leave the kids alone at the start of his 10K race in the morning!! I can't believe I had to tell him that I thought it was not a good idea. He will then try to get Caleb to his football pictures and game before heading to Eugene for the race. As he was asking me to make sure the kids had all their things together for tomorrow, he didn't want to have to be looking for everything in the morning, he wondered if we had too much on our schedule! Well I don't know, but I am lucky to keep it all straight most of the time!!
Have a blessed weekend and remember to Delight in Him!
