Is fall here to stay??? Today we awoke to a less than 70 degree house b/c we had the windows open all night! However, no need to fret I did out the girls in their warm PJs. So far today has been a typical Monday; Tim @ work and NYL classes, Maddie preschool this morning, Jonna and Morgan hanging at home working on chores and laundry, the girls took good naps and now I am about to make dinner and then we'll take a walk or play outside for an hour or so.
We had a nice relaxing & fun weekend. Friday night we went to the G-view homecoming game- see previous post. Saturday morning Tim headed up to Faith to play a little basketball with some friends up there. It is an "outreach" ministry and each week one guy shares his testimony about what god has done and is doing in his life! Good! Saturday morning the girls and I did a few chores, watched Nick jr. on CBS and made a yummy brunch consisting of waffles, bacon and scrambled eggs. The rest of the day we all just vegged out watching college football and napping. After naps, we headed to Wendy's for dinner. While we were there we telling Maddie the name of our friends' (the seylers) new baby- malachi. We were helping her sound it out - Mal (us), mal(maddie) -uh (us), uh (maddie)- ki (us), "i can't say that verse" (maddie)! it was hilarious. After dinner we headed to Target and we were in the snack aisle and Tim and Morgan were goofin' around and talking a little loud and Maddie said matter of factly, "Dad, people are trying to SHOP!" Tim and I almost wet our pants b/c we were laughing so hard!!!! After Target we gathered ourselves and headed to Lowe's to price a toilet, tub, light fixtures, railing, etc... for the upstairs. I think Home Depot might have better prices and a better selection---we going there later this week. We stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Stout's afterward to check in on Grandma and her shingles- still in pain and not wanting to take her pain meds-- she is sooooo stubborn! Then we came home bathed the girls and headed for bed b/c we had church on Sunday!
yesterday we had our combined service (all 6 churches in the grace Fellowship- norwalk, Ankeny, us (grace des Moines), grace west, Woodward and Southside)at the convention center downtown and it was good. Junior Hill gave a salvation (typical evangelist) message. The Norwalk church led the worship and it was good. We are totally pumped about this 40 days of community and how God can and will use that in our lives, the lives of our brothers and sister at Grace Church and the lives of the unsaved in our communities. Please pray for our neighbors: Jeff, Sheila and Isabella (they live right next door and Jeff has been deployed to Iraq, serving in kansas teaching army guys stuff??), Harley (the handyman), kenny and his family (that's a book- not enough time), Mike (our other neighbor- single guy)! What a time for us to witness in our own Jerusalem! last night we had home small group and then we gave the girls baths and it was time for bed!
What an exciting life we lead! Now it's time to make dinner! Bible Study in the morning- cannot wait! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
