Tonight is the 25th Anniversary concert for KSBJ. We won back stage passes to meet Mandisa (from American Idol), and Toby Mac. I think we will be meeting Mercy Me too but I’m not sure. They will be playing Erik’s video he directed with the KSBJ staff lip syncing The Newsboy’s song, “That’s Where the Party’s At.” The kids get to come too. Evan will be staying at a friend of mine because the concert will be too loud for him. It’s thundering and gonna pour in about 3 minutes so I hope it’s nice for the concert tonight. The seats we have are under that roof of the Pavillion so we will stay dry. Our lawn guy just came over and said he’ll get to the yard as soon as he can. With this weather being the way it is, it’ll take him another week to finish up at this rate. My parents said there are no mosquitos in Minnesota because they are suffering from it being so dry. That’s because the south is hogging all the rain! And for Minnesota to not have a mosquito is unheard of since it’s their state bird! The kids are at vacation bible school all week and are loving it! We went to see what they are doing this week there and I have to say that this church makes it so much fun for the kids! We bought the VBS cd for the van and both kids rock out to the music. It’s amazing to see how God works in these kids! Even Evan was watching the show last night! We still haven’t had our first softball game yet. Our coed church league was suppose to start 3 weeks ago but with the rain, the fields have been too wet. So in the next 3 weeks we play on Sundays and Fridays. We even have one Friday night game starting at 9pm! I’m not playing in that game because that’s too late to get a sitter or have the kids out with us. Work has been busy. And Care For Women hasn’t announced yet that they are officially coming. I don’t know how we can handle more until we get the staff and beds to do it. That’s all I’ll say on that topic. My uncle Randy is riding his motorcycle cross-country! He started in Dakota Dunes where he lives and has made it to Alaska! He’s seeing bears, moose, salmon, and he camps out wherever he goes. What an adventure! Erik and I think it’d be fun to see the sites of Alaska someday too. My friend Ann and her fiance Peter just got back from Alaska and the photos they shared with us are gorgeous! Like postcards! Evan is 18 lbs at 13 weeks old. He’s really tall too and the 6-9 month clothes are getting too snug in the crotch. So some of his one piece outfits are 12 months already! He is sleeping through the night now which this mommy is very appreciative of! He isn’t sleeping at grandma’s though and that makes for a long day for her. I think he just knows it isn’t his house and isn’t fully relaxed. Different smells, different sounds. He’ll figure it out soon I hope for everyone’s sake. Kids go back to school in a month. August 27th is the first day. They have all their school supplies already and we started buying clothes. Avery tried on some jeans from just a few months back and they are too short and too tight in the waist. Summertime is the time to grow and these kids are growing like weeds.
That’s all the updates I have for now. Gotta get to walmart for some toilet paper and to pick up the shorties at church.
