blogging is fun

And it is fun, but also tough to keep up with. I realized I only posted once during the entire month of May, and not yet in June. The school year has gone by and now we are in our summer schedule. Abby has completed another year of dance and will soon complete piano as well as the recital is but days away. She is moving on to sixth grade next year, her last year in the elementary school. Gabe finished second grade. His summer has included two different golf classes at Edinburgh USA in Brooklyn Park. He really enjoys golf and seems to like these lessons. Last week was vacation Bible school, or VBS at church. This is a big week for the kids. Our large church does VBS in a big way with a big drama production every day and crafts and games as well. About 1200 kids attended this year. I was in charge of Public Safety, which means I keep the kids from getting into things they should not and steering them back to their groups should they wander. We had no major problems and that was a blessing for me and my team. The church staff coupled with about 400 volunteers made this great week happen for the kids. It was a safari theme this year and many kids dressed up in safari garb and used stuffed jungle animals to accent the attire. Our senior Pastor and two other Pastors worked in the recreation area leading games each day dressed in grass skirts, a sight to see. My kids are getting older, and that is a good thing. I have loved each step of their lives, and look forward to these next challenges. I am grateful that they have so many wonderful people that love them. They have family, friends, church folks, and school teachers that have all contributed so much to their lives.
