Foolin' around!

Over the weekend we had a moment and dug out the old costume box....

.....we never know what we'll find!

Couples Retreat

This years speaker was Dr. & Mrs. Doug Finkbeiner who gave great insight for spouses from the Apostle Paul. The topics were:
1. Remembering the context of a Christian Marriage
2. Communicating more effectively within a Christian Marriage
3. Fulfilling one's responsibilities within a Christian Marriage
4. Protecting the Purity of Christian Marriage.

Shawn and I had a great time getting away and focusing on our love for each other and for Jesus Christ our Savior. This has been our 7th retreat at Camp Calvary in Burnville, PA, and to the Glory of God, our marriage gets sweeter every year.

Lisa and Sam (from our church) taking a turn at Camp Calvary's version of Pictionary.

Joellen, (our pastor's wife), Leah & Drew from our church. Drew & Leah are planning to go on the mission field in the near future!

Feel the LOVE! Hee, Hee!

Uh, Oh...wonder how that got there! :)

Grossology - Science Center Field Trip

Our Home-school group took a tour at the Baltimore Science Center, called Grossology. "The attraction is based on the 'Children's best Selling' book 'Grossology' by Sylvia Branzei. It explores all the slimy, mushy, oozy, scaly and stinky gross (yet scientific) things that occur everyday in the human body. The kids love the 'gross stuff' and us parents like the scientific explanations."

Josh, climbing through the large intestine...yes, that's POO!

This man is up to NO GOOD! He learned that most people pass gas on the average of 14 times per day. All day today, HE'S BEEN COUNTING!

Laura and Amber learing about the Digestive System, and stomach noises!

Nothing but FRESH BREATH here!

At last, Shawn has seen a twister!

Happy Easter!

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

Shawn's Best Friend...Mr. Scott. What can I say!?!?

A servant's heart? Nahh...HUNGRY!

Fighting? Nahh...it's sick twisted LOVE, that only a Mother and son can share!

APE'S PLAYING PAINTBALL!

Some "guys" came over this morning to play paintball. This was Ashley's 1st and Dylan's 2nd time playing. Since we had a dusting of SNOW, the fire was perfect for quick warm-ups!

Spring Fever!

The weather was nice enough to head to the shore house on Kent Island. The kids played, while us Mom's got some sun and laughed at the kids!

My girls, and little Mikey having fun in the canoe!

Dylan and his best friends Nick and Josh! Don't ask me how they make a 1 man kayak work for all 3 of them! But then, they did flip!

My best friend, Debi! Although, after posting her picture, she'll probably NEVER speak to me again! LOL

Happy 60th Birthday Dad!

SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE!

There's a special corner of the heart reserved for dads alone,

A place where childhood memories still linger when we've grown...

Where thoughts of love and gratitude remain forever strong -

That's why a dad like you is loved and valued all year long!
