Father's Day Weekend

We had a great weekend at home! Camp is great, but it's so nice to have some family time at the house. Here are a few pictures of things we did together!

June Update

Hello everyone! It seems like forever since we've posted anything on the blog. Camp is in full swing now and to be honest, we haven't really had time to get on the computer other than to pay bills and check email. Crossings is going so very well. The summer staff is very mature and is making it their daily goal to share Christ with students so that the students can "cross over from death to life." (John 5:24) It has been such a blessing to watch the Lord work through them. Scott is doing such a great job. He is very tired but he has some amazing help from his assistant program directors Reagan and T. Week 2 starts on Monday!

We have been living out at the camp with the Associate Director's family, the McGraths. Kari McGrath is a great friend of mine, so it has definitely been a blessing to be there! It definitely makes it feel more like home. Kilee Anne has been enjoying herself as she is passed from one summer staffer to another -- I'll never be able to set her down again after the summer! Oh well, I want her around all of them -- you can never start too early with role models! Ha ha. Kilee Anne and I are traveling home on Wednesday of every week because I tutor 2 girls that evening and then we go to playgroup on Thursday morning. It's nice to have this time at home every week to mow, catch up on laundry and just have some normalcy. I will say though, we have never enjoyed camp more! God is teaching us so many things as we are just learning how to abide in Him day by day. I think one of the most interesting things He has been bringing to my attention is that this world is not my home, that my citizenship is in heaven. Therefore all of my struggles, material desires and earthly needs are temporary and pale in comparison with the eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison that awaits us. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18) This puts everyday in an eternal perspective! Please pray for me in this as I'm sure there is a reason I'm learning this right now.

Kilee Anne continues to be the most adorable baby on the face of the earth ( no bias here). Ha! She is doing so many new things. Here are a few: everything within reach goes right into her mouth, if something is not in reach she will roll and wiggle to get it, she's babbling vowel sounds constantly, she can pull her leg up and put all of her toes in her mouth, she can sit unassisted for short periods of time, she flails her arms and whacks things (like our dinner plates on the table while we eat), she is fascinated by animals like the camp horses and our pets, she can laugh whenever she thinks something is funny, and she's showing signs that she might crawl soon! It is absolutely crazy how much she is growing!!! We just continually thank the Lord for her -- she is such a miracle!!! Here are a couple of pics of her that I took this morning as she played in her exersaucer -- a toy which evidently tastes great!
