pool, prayers & homecomings...

well a pool day it wasn't but it did get
to 85 here in minneapolis!
i came prepared to get in the pool, it
just kept looking like rain so it took the
need away.

anne & i sat and watched amanda instead.






amanda waited patiently for her friend, maija, to
come over after lunch to get in with her...



we needed to be back at church by 2 for ben's
ceremony so we packed it in around 1:30 and headed
to westwood.

there, we were met by ben's dad, greg...his wife stacey
and their two children andrew and abbey along with a
couple of cousins.
it was really cool to see so many 9th graders involved
in nearly a 1 year program on sunday nights to learn
more about God, Jesus, the Trinity...all of it!
the room was packed. they all received a new tniv
bible to commemorate the completion.

abbey just loves her big brother ben!



we all placed hands on our 9th graders while brian
seuter (pastor of student ministries) lead us in prayer



here's brian!



ben's brother, andrew and his dad goofing around!



did i mention that abbey really loves her brother! :)




gary pulled in the driveway around 6:30 last night.
pooped...lots of laundry and glad to be home.
his trip was really terrific, they had a great time!
his shoulder held up through all 4 rounds of golf
and he played really well.

i head to anne & pete's tomorrow for the rest of the week.
i'll blog from there....
