We survived !

For the last few weekends we have had our oldest children back in town. The first weekend Charlie rolled in from Des Moines and turned our usual quiet life up a notch. She has a way of getting everyone going and always is a joy to have around.

Then Kristopher blew in for a week since he was in the states for some meetings. For those of you that don't know him he is also very funny and easy to be around but is also very much going to get things done his way. This seems to be at odds the most with his mother, they get along great but definitely have different views on numerous subjects.

So for the last three weekends we have sort of let the older kids have there time in the sun (while they are with us just enjoy them) and now this weekend we are having our e-group ( Elevate Group ) over at our house on Sunday evening.

This would not really be a concern if these people were not from Morton ( see any article ever written by Rick Baker ) There is nothing wrong with Morton and these are wonderful people from our new church ( Elevate) it is just that they vacuum their lawns in Morton - they don't even allow mice or insects there ( It is against city ordinance ) We are planning a game night as to keep them amused. This is a scary thing for a boy from the hood to have Morton people over!!
