We had a great, relaxing time at Cedarly this past week!! It was wonderful to share with other ministry couples and to have time to remove ourselves from distractions and focus on our marriage and our walk with the Lord. The atmosphere was beautiful . . . 6 1/2 acres of woods on a lake. And the weather was cool, which was perfect! It was an amazing experience that we have already decided will be something we try to do every 2-3 years. So if you know of other full-time ministry couples, please let them know about this WONDERFUL free opportunity!
On Wednesday morning, we visited an episcopal seminary that was just down the road. We were able to attend their morning prayer and eucharist service. 
It was a good experience and one of the professors visited with us afterwards which was really great.Jackson had a great week with Grammy and Papa! He got to ride on a combine and even help drive, which he was REALLY fascinated with!! And they took him to the zoo and he got to ride on the train and carousel. He also got to feed the goats too (well actually I think Papa did most of the feeding). Mom took pictures, so I'll have to get them from her : ) He also got to watch several Cardinal's baseball games, which were only complete with his favorite snack, popcorn!
We spent the rest of the weekend in TH once we got back on Friday. So we got to go to one of Josiah's soccer games and he made his 1st goal!!! David put together this picture collage to remember his BIG day! And you can see Nathanael was cheering him on from the sidelines. 
This picture is what happens when a little boy finds a sharpie marker on the way home in the dark : ) Yeah, I thought I heard him in the back seat with something and he was curiously quiet. So I had David turn on the overhead light to discover him pulling the cap on and off of the sharpie that he somehow pulled out of David's computer bag! At least I caught him before he did TOO much damage . . . it certainly could have been much worse! Thank goodness the baby wipes got it all off : )

Hi Kristin, to funny to see the pic of Jackson with a sharpie, Logan had his first exp. about 2 months ago, I was mopping our kitchen floor and I thought he was just playing quietly! Which should've been my clue. Needless to say we had to throw a shirt away and I got a really cute picture of it. Oh and by the way toothpaste works wonders on taking things like that off skin without having to rub really hard!!
