I am all packed and ready to leave for Haiti this afternoon. We filled 22 suitcases with donations and VBS supplies last night, weighed each one and loaded them in a trailer to transport them to Chicago this afternoon. 'A' had her last day of school yesterday. 'I' has his last day of school today. After I pick him up at noon we will follow tradition and go out for ice cream. Here are some highlights of the last month: 'K's Prom was held the Friday after we returned home from Spring Break:   Soccer season has come and gone. Daddy was 'I's coach again this spring with our friend Paige serving as assistant coach. Those boys have come a long way in the past year.  
'K' had her last concert with the Grand Rapids Youth Symphony. After playing with them for five years she is ready to move on to playing in college this fall.  
'A' participated in her kindergarten program. They sang songs and recited their Bible verses corresponding to each letter of the alphabet.  
Yours truly played the piano for the singing. 'A' loved her teacher this year! I also received my Mother's Day gift from 'A' while we were at school that day.   
'I' finally lost the loose tooth that has been hanging from his upper gum the last few months. 
We celebrated birthdays and Mother's Day. 'E' (my baby for 12 years!) turned 16!   
'K' and 'E' had their last high school orchestra concert of the year.  
'K' presented a thank you gift to their director. A few of the other seniors also said a few words.   
'K' had senior awards night where she was presented the Jonathon Houseward Bible Award. 
Then came graduation. 'K' was co-validictorian so she gave part of a speech.   
 
Until next time... |
