Family Fishing

One of our favorite family events is right across the street - fishing in the lakes of our subdivision. We are fully equipped with Barbie, Go Deigo Go, Princess, and Spiderman fishing poles. To ensure a quick fish we usually bait with shiners or worms (which even our girls will gladly thread onto a hook). Here is a bad video with some funny commentary from our 7 and 5 year olds.

Fathers Day

This year Father's Day was a bit crazy. The prior week our church was busy with "My Jerusalem Week" with mission projects within the church and around the community. The culmination of the event was a block party held on Saturday evening coordinating with Crossover of the SBC. We were all exhausted but enjoyed a great Lord's Day together with Dr. Mark Dever preaching at CABC. Doughnuts with dad at church and lunch at Mastersons completed our family celebration of Father's Day. Here are some pictures taken Sunday morning during the Doughnuts with Dad.

Seminary String Camp

In June the girls attended Seminary String Camp. It introduced them to the violin and they had a great time. We heard lots of "Mississippi Hotdog" during that week. The plan is for them to start taking lessons when we return from summer vacation.

Chicago

With the upcoming 10 year anniversary approaching, Jason and I knew we better celebrate our special day before the busy summer activities began. During the last week in May our parents came up to watch all the kiddos and we had fun on a getaway - destination Chicago. We had such a great time and enjoyed some of the best food I have ever tasted in my entire life. The warm Doubletree Hotel cookies topped each night like a cherry on a banana split.
