Confirmation Day

Daniel's Confirmation Class was confirmed during our worship service this morning.  All of the students also assisted in some part of worship.  Daniel & his friend Anna helped with the children's sermon.  During Confirmation they learned more about the Christian faith and our Wesleyan heritage and how much God loves us.   In the children's sermon they showed the little kids which Disney/Pixar character tells us exactly how much God loves us.  

Can you guess?


Yep, God loves us "to infinity and beyond"!  The little kids loved it and I bet they will remember that every time they hear Buzz say "to infinity and beyond"!

All the kids' family members at the altar with each Confirmand.


I asked Matt to take pictures, but since he really couldn't get anything except everyone's backsides, I guess he decided it would be better to take pictures of Sarah.




Sarah was drawing...

f
Then her brother undoubtedly gave her his phone.  She is probably playing "Angry Birds."



After the service church members greeted each of the kids.  They seemed to get a big kick out of all the attention.  :-)   Before we left I wanted to get a picture of Daniel with the couple (and dear friends) that sacrificed so much of their time and energy teaching all of the kids.  Brooke and Aaron did a wonderful job! They are such a blessing!

Aaron is flicking Daniel's ear to make him smile.  It worked!

Set Your DVRs!

HGTV has a new show starting Monday, June 6 and our friends will be featured on one of the episodes! They won a Disney back yard makeover and it will air on June 20.  

(HGTV)

You can read more about how all of this came about on Tracey's blog 7294 Cottage Way.  We are so happy for them!

I can't wait to see the transformation!  (Although, after watching the promos this weekend, I think I've figured out which one is theirs!) 


Also, we had friends over this evening for dinner and had a great time visiting and relaxing a bit.

Daniel making a silly face instead of smiling nice for his momma!

Sarah really enjoyed her ice cream sandwich!





Life just wouldn't be the same without friends and ice cream!

On My Own Again

Brian leaves for Annual Conference (United Methodist Church) for the next four days, which, of course means that everything happens while he is gone.





 
Daniel will be confirmed on Sunday.  It was scheduled for last Sunday, but was moved.  This is a big decision moment for Daniel and I can't believe that Brian is not going to be there.  But, that's just the way it goes sometimes.





 

Matt starts Drivers Ed on Monday!   I can't believe we are entering the age of student driving!  He turns 16 on Wednesday!!!!


 






This is going to be an emotional 4 or 5 days!  I think I better stock up on kleenex!
