A wonderful night out with my favorite group of friends - we were formerly known as "Accountability Group" when we got together twice a month to "scrapbook" or pay bills or whatever. Now that we're all back to work, we have to settle for dinner or coffee once a month, so I think we need a new name...</div>

On Thanksgiving weekend, those two decided to make nshima cakes like we had done in Zambia. Problem was, we couldn't really remember HOW we made nshima cakes, so Bethany just kind of went for it. I was blissfully happy in the garage, crafting my garland for the front door, when I'm suddenly smelling smoke and hearing some commotion in the house.

Thankfully, the flames were under the lid until Ed brought it outside and opened it up, so we had no damage in the kitchen. We just sent an awful lot of black smoke into the neighborhood...and the girls owe me a pan.</div>

It was so exciting to be at another college level meet! This was a great course, also! We could see them several times because they just did switch backs over and over on the golf course! I stayed with my college roommate on this trip and she even came with me to the meet, which was over 2 hours away! We had such a good time!</div>

In anticipation of busy lives, we used some movie gift cards to see "Wonder Woman" over Labor Day weekend! We hardly ever go to movies as a family, so this was quite a treat!<br />

Sarah's sophomore year as a collegiate athlete went well...she was able to run through the entire season (more on the end of the season later) after being injured last year part-way through. She loves having cousins & her aunt & uncle watch when she runs close to campus and her team has been truly amazing. The sophomores are like a family. Truly. It's been an incredible thing to watch develop.</div>

One story of the season was the day when it was almost 100* and 100% humidity and Sarah got heat exhaustion during the race and had to be put in the ice bath to bring her temperature down...that was an interesting phone call from the coach. No "Hi, this is Coach and I'm letting you know about Sarah's race..." Just "So I think she's going to be OK, but I've got her in an ice bath..." Whaaatttt?</div>

I had a complete mom-fail and forgot to have Bethany hold a picture of herself on her first day of Kindergarten like I did on Sarah's first day of her Senior year. Oops! So, I made a little pic collage of the two pictures. Same smile, darker hair, lots more confidence and a now insatiable love for telling people about Jesus.</div>

In August I took a quick 3-day trip to Arizona to visit my dear friend since she had a baby this past March. I had to meet that little guy, plus I missed her and her other kiddos, too! August is NOT the best time to visit Arizona, but between the pool, the AC, and Starbucks frappucinos, we beat the heat pretty well.<br />

We went for pedicures, which was something I hadn't done in years, but after wearing sandals in Africa with that dusty, rough, sparkly ground, my feet were in pretty rough shape. It was SO FUN and super relaxing for us - and the baby even cooperated through it!</div>

Of course there was shopping and antiquing involved, and some crafting (more about that in the next post), and while it was a short trip, it was just about right for these two busy mamas. Maybe in our retirement years we'll get longer visits and can go to cool stuff like one of those road trip flea market/garage sales that span over 100 miles of the country!</div>

After the SoCal Ball cousins left, we had a few days where we participated in the city-wide Rock the Block and then we were off for YOSEMITE!! My parents and my younger brother & his family joined us. We had a VRBO about an hour outside the park, so it was cheap, but it was great and perfect for us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We left on a Sunday morning and drove almost all the way to Yosemite in one day. We spent the night in a hotel where of course the little girls swam and the big girls ran, and then the next day we met up with everyone for lunch and shopping at Costco and headed to our house.</div>

That was the end of the hike for me, my dad, and youngest nephew. It had been a death-defying feat for me to get up there, with the cliffs, slippery rocks, and crowds. Going down with my dad and nephew was about the scariest thing I've ever done and I wish we had known that if we had just gone up a little bit further we would have come across an easier way back down. I'm just thankful that for the many slips on rocks and stones and water, no one got hurt.</div>

In the evening we headed back to our VRBO to clean up, have dinner, play games and spend time together. We slept in the next morning and hung out at the house for the morning and through lunch before heading to find Bass Lake to try some kayaking and swimming. The lake was not what we expected, which was somewhat disappointing, but we managed to have a great day!</div>

The third morning we woke up quite early and headed to the park again. We knew what we were doing this time and headed straight to the shuttle and up to Mirror Lake for a hike/run. Mirror Lake isn't much of a lake anymore, but there is a section of the river that is quite deep and still and kids were swimming and jumping off rocks, etc. If we had known that, we would have headed there on our day off instead of to Bass Lake. If you ever go to Yosemite, plan to spend a few hours by the water on the Mirror Lake hike!</div>

Not only did we get to hang out with the Ball cousins for a couple days, but we got some super amazing quality time with Grandpa Freeman, Ed's step-dad. Since Ed's mom died, things have been hard. But time has passed and God has granted some healing and some new experiences and a new graciousness with each other...and I feel like our family received it's own little miracle. Plus, we also get to have his Karen (whom we are so much looking forward to meeting in person) in our lives.<br />

Our time with Ed's family in July was precious. We didn't do much...we explored on the snow at Mt. Baker (because the hike we headed up to do was impassable due to snow) and made some awesome memories sledding! We played a lot of corn hole, ate a lot of food, laughed, talked, played games, and more. It's easy with them, and now even sweeter.</div>

And there was lots of fun just hanging out at home, too. The cousins did a sleepover (because they came up in their trailer and parked at the KOA behind us, so one night HAD to be spend together!) and we just enjoyed being together.</div>

I had a sweet, sweet, almost 24 hours in Leavenworth with my BFF from the east side. We spent years together working as GEMS leaders for WA state and I love our friendship. She is fun, godly, sincere, devoted, passionate, & generous. Since we didn't get to have our weekend together at the GEMS conference this year (neither of us could go), we opted for meeting half-way-ish between our homes and spent the time talking, walking, shopping, eating, and talking some more. </div>

Since Elise didn't get a birthday party in June due to the Africa trip, I took her and her BFF, as well as Becca and one of her BFF's (sister to Elise's BFF) to the waterslides up in Canada for an afternoon/evening. We had a great time! Those 4 girls all get along incredibly well and we are blessed to call their family friends.</div>

We headed to Washington Park in Anacortes, because anything near the water always makes me smile. We packed a picnic lunch and headed out early to beat the crowds and it turned out to be a practically perfect day!<br />

I kinda of have to...I'm trying out another photo organizer, so I have to see if it's workable. Plus also, I hate being SO FAR BEHIND!<br />
<br />
Right when I got home from Zambia, I got to watch Elise perform in Madagascar!! Summer Stock has been a tradition in our home for several years now and while this summer only Elise participated, it is still a special summertime activity. Becca chose to go to Camp Shiloh this year (to be blogged next...) and of course Bethany was with me in Zambia during all the rehearsals. It was a great show and I always am so proud of the community kids and they way they work together and make friendships.<br />

Most of these pictures are from our time at the lodge, which is not the part I think about every day, but I do think about and pray for all the people we met and spent time with on this trip. No new pictures of the sweet children, who are constantly on my heart, but I'm hopeful that once the school year starts for them this week, I will get to see new & updated photos on The Esther School blog, Instagram, & Facebook!<br />

Perhaps now I can begin to blog some of our other events of this past summer...</div>
<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376475105239081.post-70424406887527369962017-08-22T22:40:00.000-07:002017-08-22T22:40:28.091-07:00ChaminukaAfter my last blog post, things got a little crazy in my world...which isn't all that new, but I just didn't sit down at my computer much, for lots of reasons. First, because things were busy. Second, because my computer is on its way out of my life and I simply don't have the patience for it anymore. However, Ed was finally able to figure out a different solution for my pictures, so I figured I better get a blog done to make sure this solution is going to work. Picasa...my beloved Picasa...is corrupt and dead and while my pictures are not lost, we needed to figure out a new storage/organizational plan. So, I've used the new plan and I think it'll work. And thankfully, in a few days my new computer should arrive and then I won't have to struggle so much to do "computer things"...but since school starts next week, I have no idea when I'll actually blog again.<br />
<br />
All that to say, I do actually have one more post of our trip to Africa. Once our time at The Esther School was over, most of our team headed to Lusaka (capital city of Zambia) to stay at the Chaminuka Lodge for a few days. It was part vacation, part debriefing, part opportunity to shower... I'm glad we went there before heading home because had we headed straight for the airport upon leaving TES, it would have been MUCH harder to leave. But knowing we were headed for some down time made leaving the actually campus easier, and after a couple days at Chaminuka, we were really ready to head for home. On my next trip to Zambia, I hope to visit Livingston and Victoria Falls, but this was a good experience for our first trip. ;)<br />
<br />
TES Summer Camp Team Friends: I don't know if Sarah ever sent any of you the pictures from the lodge. So, if you see a picture in this post you'd like, let me know. Or if you are looking for a particular photo, let me know and I'll see if we have a picture of it.<br />
<br />
We took a bus to Lusaka and then on a VERY BUMPY UNPAVED road into the compound. It's a HUGE park where native animals live...all the meat-eaters are caged, but the herbivores are free to roam around the park...except that there are snakes that are free-roaming, too. Obviously. All the employees of the lodge also live on the compound and the lodge itself is pretty nice. It's like an all-inclusive safari of sorts. Cabin-like hotel rooms, restaurants, safaris, horseback riding, boat rides, swimming, art walks, cheese tasting, etc. all included in your price. The only thing that costs extra is the cheetah walk (more on that later). We did 3 safari rides, played tennis, went on a boat ride, enjoyed HOT showers, and went on a wine/cheese tasting. The guides on the safaris were GREAT and FUNNY and we felt very safe while we were there.<br />

They have only one elephant left, and she is lonely. They are trying to get another one, but I imagine that process moves even slower than everything else in Africa.</div>

At first glance, you might not see an animal in this picture. But look again. There's a giraffe. Our guide saw this giraffe from SO far away I truly didn't believe it was there. I thought he was just joking around with us. But then we chased it into these trees. And it wouldn't come out. So the guide got out of the jeep to try to coax it...um, just because it lives inside a 4000 acre fence doesn't make it tame! And THEN the guide says to Sarah, our official photographer, "Come on! Get out and get your picture!" So there I am, in Africa, with wild animals and potentially pythons all around me, watching my daughter GET OUT OF THE JEEP! You know how on rides at Disneyland they always say to keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times? I really thought that applied to a safari ride, too. Apparently not. So Sarah got out and chased a giraffe in the acacia trees in Africa. Heavens. We all survived.</div>

^^African Lynx! I found these animals fascinating. They have never lived in the wild and have always had food provided to them...yet their instincts to kill to eat and protect their food are SO STRONG that they still pace alongside each other on opposite sides of the fence, ready to take the other lynx out in order to get their food.</div>

I have to admit, that's a pretty cool picture. It was taken by the Cheetah handler. The story is that when these Cheetahs were cubs and he was training them, he spent so much time with them that his fiance said, "It's the Cheetahs or me." And he choose the Cheetahs! :O</div>

1. On Sunday, our team worshiped together in an ensaka and it was truly one of the most beautiful worship services I have ever been blessed to be a part of. The pastor who was part of our team "organized" it, but in reality, it was led by the Spirit, who gave us songs, Scriptures, and moments to share and bless one another. It was a wonderful way to debrief.</div>

2. I spent some time walking around the lodge with the girls and a few of the other girls on the team. Watching monkeys play and run onto the outdoor restaurant to steal food was great fun! We talked about how to evaluate what God had taught us on this trip and I will never forget those moments of me being able to share my heart with teenagers and they were actually listening.</div>

By the time we headed to the airport on Monday afternoon, we were ready to come home. A long flight to Dubai, following by a flight more than twice as long to Seattle and we were back with Ed in the van for our drive home. The little girls greeted us with chalk drawings on the driveway and posters in the living room. So good to be home. And forever changed. And definitely planning to go back someday.</div>

He saw the GEMS Girls Clubs staff & volunteers training the women of his village to be counselors and to teach the girls about Jesus. He saw them making a difference, one smile at a time. He asked GEMS Girls Clubs, "Will you build a school? Will you help to bring my village out of poverty?" And he gave the organization 25 acres on which to do this. GEMS Girls Clubs considered this with much prayer and joyfully accepted God's call to continue to work with the villagers of Nyangwena. Prayers were offered, money was raised, volunteers and missionaries were sought out and finally, in September of 2012, this Christian school for under-privileged and orphaned children began.<br />
<br />
I have felt called to The Esther School since it was only a vision in the Chief's & God's eye. God placed this village and these children in my heart and going there was a dream He gave and granted. Not only is The Esther School part of God's plan, but the privilege of going there, for me, Sarah, Bethany, and everyone else who has already gone and has yet to go, that privilege is also part of God's plan.<br />
<br />
While we were at TES, we were so, so blessed. We went there to meet and love the children, to teach the children, to learn, and to serve God by serving these people. But exponentially more than we gave, we received. Our days were filled with singing, worship, playing tag, teaching, hugs, working alongside others on our team, cooking, games, and the complete peace & joy that comes from serving God whole-heartedly and loving His people.<br />
<br />
His people. This is one of the things that hit me square in my heart while I was there...these are HIS people. It's something I knew intellectually, but it hadn't transferred entirely to my heart before I went to Zambia. Just as surely as I am one of HIS people, and my family members, and my GEMS, and my students...every one of those villagers is also one of HIS people. The same sun that shines here in Lynden shines in Nyangwena. The same moon circles the earth. Yes, we could see different stars there than we do here in the northern hemisphere, but it's the same universe. It's easy to imagine those people "over there in Africa" and not understand that God's personal connection to them is the same as it is to me! He is the same God here and there and He shaped each one of those children in their mother's womb JUST as He shaped my children in my womb and me in my mother's womb. It's one of those things that sucks the breath out of you when you really, really <i>get it.</i><br />
<br />
In Zambia, life is hard. But God is there. He is working, and He will continue to work there until He redeems them all fully and we all rejoice forever with our Lord & Savior. And while we wait for that day, The Esther School is working and praying and coming alongside 175 children (next school year, Lord willing) to begin to bring hope and stability to a village trapped in poverty. Is it a long process? Of course. Is it a terribly difficult calling? Absolutely. But with God, all things are possible.<br />
<br />
Look at these faces. Pray for these faces and the other children there and ask God how you can help. By the way, some of these kiddos still need sponsors. :)<br />

Are our chapters with The Esther School completed? No, I don't believe so. We all left a piece of our hearts there as well as children we dearly love...and especially those we sponsor. It was hard to say good-bye to them. It honestly felt a little like leaving Sarah at college last fall, and I pray God allows us to see each of those sweet children again here on earth.<br />

<br />
Today we were given time to share a little snippet of our experience at The Esther School. The link below will take you to a video that will give you a glimpse that experience. We want to share it here because so many of you have supported us in so many ways as we planned, prepared, and prayed for this trip and we are so grateful! To God be the glory!<br />

Please do not take it personally if I don't mention something about you that you expected me to mention. Our brains & hearts are still swirling with memories and lessons and experiences and relationships and even in my humble attempts to organize those things enough to share on this blog, I will not get it all right. I just won't. I do, however, want to share these things and so I'm willing to take a chance and share what I can, despite my imperfections. I am praying God gives me much grace as I type so that I share exactly the people and relationships that would honor Him the most.<br />
<br />
1. The girls: As you know, Sarah & Bethany joined me on this trip. For Bethany, it was an affirming trip that God used to deepen her desire to be a missionary and to introduce her to more people and opportunities for that future. For Sarah, it was a trip that allowed her to experience great joy, no stress, God's love, and many other things that are sometimes hard to experience in the midst of a stressful college life.<br />

2. The Team: We met up with several people from a church in California (connection to TES was that a daughter of their congregation is a teacher there), a couple college girls from GR (cousins, and the late mother of one had been instrumental in starting TES), a couple teachers from GR (friend had a sister who taught at TES), a teacher from Montana (who had taught preschool at TES during its first 2 years), a college student from Ontario and one from South Carolina who didn't have much connection to TES, but were invited on the trip by a friend of a friend, a young woman from Nova Scotia (her mother has been in GEMS since forever, kind of like me), and another young woman from GR who will be going to work at TES for 2 years as a sponsorship coordinator beginning in August! We grew to love these people that we worked alongside and I do pray that we get to meet again this side of heaven. </div>

Jean, Naomi, Renee. These three were other teachers on the trip and I really loved getting to know them, talking shop with them, and living life in Zambia alongside them. Teachers at heart, they taught me so many things, probably without even intending to.</div>

^^A couple of the college girls. Bethany got pretty close to Emily (on the left) since they were on worship team together and are very much alike and Sarah got close to Cheyenne (on the right) through their time playing with the sweet kiddos on the playground. Emily was great as a worship leader and continually helpful. Cheyenne is a young woman with many life experiences who was willing to share and very fun to be around.</div>

^^Loved being there with those ladies - fun to meet Amanda (I know her mom through GEMS), and learn about her compassion and love for children, and exciting to watch Heather get excited about her future at TES! Tina (on the right) is mom to a teacher at TES (more on HER later) and Tina was an encouragement and comfort to me as well. I miss her hugs and her smile and her love already.</div>

Can't see Dan too well in this picture, but he's there on the right with the shadow of my hand on his face. Sorry, Dan! He's married to Tina, father of a TES teacher, and trip coordinator extraordinaire! He & Tina have been to TES many times, and he handled everything from flights to buses to grocery shopping to internet and about a hundred things I will forget to mention. </div>

Also in the above picture is Carol, whom I haven't mentioned yet. She's third down on the left. Also from CA, friends with Liz, and a compassionate heart for children. She & Liz both knit sweaters and blankets, etc. for refugee children and have had so many life experiences. It was fun to hear about all the places they have been throughout their friendship.</div>

3. The Staff: Much of the staff had gone home on furlough by the time we arrived at TES. Those that remained however, have a spot of friendship carved out in my heart and I have a deep admiration, respect, and love for what they are doing there that I could not have had without this experience. Those people taught me (& the rest of the team) without getting frustrated at my continuous questions, they taught me in love and in service and in both words and actions. I am certain that the other staff members at TES are made of that same, beautiful, selfless, God-loving, people-loving fabric.</div>

^^Dana, sponsorship coordinator; S, son of Facilities Administrator; & Rachel, teacher. Dana is awesome. She is fun, she is authentic, and so giving. She took us to meet our sponsor child's family. S is a great kid, kind and selfless. And then there's Rachel. How do I even begin to share about Rachel? She exudes Jesus. I don't know how else to say it. Her smile, her sincerity, her love for people, her love for children, her GIGANTIC heart. It's just all Jesus. She's Bethany's newest role model. Actually, Bethany would like to simply be adopted by Rachel. It's her parents, Dan & Tina, that were our "coordinators" for our trip.</div>

The couple on the right are Brent & Kathy. Brent is the Facilities Administrator and they have been there for 3 years. They'll be heading back to the states at the end of this month. Brent has done a tremendous amount for TES in 3 years - from building projects to training Zambians in welding and construction, to introducing the families to the concepts of saving money for future needs, like fertilizer. He's a quiet servant. Kathy has worked alongside him and alongside the teachers for the past 3 years. She's so in tune with the Zambian culture and what they need and don't need from North Americans. She's sensitive to the people and able to handle any insect, creature, disease, injury, or catastrophe that comes her way. I think every evening I heard another story about something crazy that had happened to them since they had been in Zambia. And she always ended the story with, "But that won't happen to you, I promise." She made me laugh and she made me feel safe.</div>

That's little A - we celebrated her birthday, along with Kate's & Craig's, while we were there. She's the youngest daughter of Brent & Kathy and she was a HOOT! Maybe it's just because 6-year-olds are my total favorite, but I absolutely loved it when I could sit and have a conversation or play a game with her. So much personality in a little body and so much JOY!</div>

4. The kids: Ah, we are finally to THE BEST PART! All those other characters are vital and important and our favorites, don't get me wrong. But THE KIDS are why we went. THE KIDS are who TES is for. THE KIDS are the ones we want Jesus to touch in mighty ways!</div>

We have about 4000 more pictures of THE KIDS (and that's not really an exaggeration), so if you ever want to see more, just ask. :) For now, here are a few fun ones. I'm sure I will add more to future blog posts.</div>

Worship at the end of every day was another one of the BEST PARTS of every day! Several of the Zambian staff & teachers helped to lead songs in Bemba or Nyanja. The Zambian teachers were also VITAL to the success of the summer camp we participated in. They know the kids, they are skilled teachers, and they are kind, relational, and wonderful to work with. We were so thankful for all of them and the leadership and assistance they provided.</div>

There are so many stories to share, and it occurred to me that most stories start with the setting, so why not this one, too? Hopefully this way of sharing our story will be meaningful and understandable for you. Please feel free to ask questions as that could trigger a memory or a story or a fact or an experience that I might not otherwise share.<br />

At the beginning of the week just before Memorial Day weekend, I was looking at the calendar and realizing that our summer festivities didn't leave us much free time over the next few months. Between the upcoming Zambia trip, Summer Stock, Ragnar, family visiting, our church Rock the Block, a vacation to Yosemite, work, and Sarah's trip to the Christian athlete leadership conference....well...I just didn't know when we would do anything "just the six of us." So I got out my "bucket list" to see if there were any feasible local adventures we could have as a family for just one day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather was looking to be quite warm, so it had to be mountains or water. We came up with a plan...leave early in the morning and catch the 8:45 ferry from Coupeville to Port Townsend. Due to tides (really low tides mean fewer ferry runs and we wanted to be at the beach during low tide), cost, and the fact that it was Memorial Day weekend, we decided to park and leave our car at the ferry terminal and walk on the ferry. There's basically no limit to the number of walk-on passengers allowed on the ferry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The maps said it was just under a 2 mile walk to Fort Warden State Park, which I wanted to see, and a little farther walk to North Beach & Glass Beach, which was on my bucket list. I figured we walk a while, spend a little time on the beach, get lunch, and take the ferry back. Well...the plan turned out FABULOUS except for one little detail I failed to notice...the elevation. Almost the entire 2 mile walk to Fort Warden State Park was uphill. And then there was more uphill to get to the other side of the park to the beach. And then some downhill and then some more uphill. And then finally beach walking. Suffice it to say, we were QUITE sore the few days following this adventure - we walked almost 11 miles either uphill, downhill, or on the beach! - but I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING! We had such a great day and absolutely perfect weather. It was SO beautiful out and we just enjoyed God's creation and each other.</div>

North Beach & Glass Beach - supposedly you can find lots of beach glass here, which is why I wanted to go. It once was the site of a city dump, but was eventually released into the ocean, which is why there is lots of sea glass. Problem is...it's VERY tiny, which I didn't know before we went.</div>

This year both our choir director & orchestra director will be leaving our school (they're married) and moving to Iowa. We will miss them a lot - especially the Mrs...Bethany has had her as a teacher since first grade! It's pretty sad to lose her right before Bethany's Senior year. Her last orchestra concert was wonderful and fun...and also emotional. Goodbyes are not easy. </div>

The orchestra director always lets them do fun things like wear pirate hats when they play the theme from "Pirates of the Caribbean"...and tie balloons to their instruments when they play the theme from "Willy Wonka." She's great like that.</div>

At the end of April was a wonderful event we call the Junior Senior Banquet! It's kind of like prom, but it's for the Seniors, put on by the Juniors. There's no dance, until *after* and it's sponsored by the parents. Bethany with that boy that asked her so sweetly...the story was in a previous blog post...and they had so much fun together and with their friends.</div>

My dad & Ed installed my new laundry room floor, which I LOVE! We needed it because my old washing machine leaked a few too many times and the floor was all soft and ripped in places. It took a long time to find the floor I wanted at a price I could manage and also have it be in stock. But now it's awesome!! In this process, we discovered that the *new* washing machine is SO good that it produces excess suds that come up the drain and was also leaking onto my old floor, but we didn't know it. It took QUITE some time to solve that problem, and even now, we simply have an Ed/Dad-inspired-fix so that the water doesn't go on the floor...but we tried *everything* that there is to try, and our current fix is all there is to be done, other than paying a washing machine repairman $200 to come out and tell us there's nothing to be done...</div>

I'm blogging...again! Twice in one month! Amazing! I'm actually just attempting to get caught up before Sarah, Bethany, & I leave for Zambia because we really want to blog that "as we go"...and "as wifi allows."<br />

So, what follows is a very short summary of the end of February and most of March:<br />

Becca played volleyball for the first time ever! It was a good experience overall, though with 52 girls and 4 teams the organization for the coaches was difficult, to say the least. This meant that we often didn't know which team/where Becca would play until the night before a game. That is REALLY frustrating for a planner like me. Honestly, I think it was frustrating for every mom of every girl on the team.</div>

Volleyball has changed A LOT since I played in Junior High. This whole hand-holding and switching positions thing is new. The scoring system is different. The subbing system is different. It was quite a learning curve for me!</div>

Becca and her teammates improved a lot over the season and it was fun to watch them work hard together and actually be able to get a good volley going. The best part was the friendships they built. I LOVED watching them support each other.</div>

The drama kids were missing each other, so they made up a 24-hour-play gathering so they could hang out again like during the musical. Basically, kids could sign up to write, direct, or act in a play and everything (including writing the script) is done in a 24-hour period. Bethany was in "Soccer Mom" - they were pretty silly, but so fun for them.</div>

We *finally* finished watching all the original episodes of "Gilmore Girls", so we could watch the new ones that came out back in November. The first one we watched with Chinese food and Red Vines.

Actually, it was a Junior-Senior Banquet (JSB) ask...a sweet boy from our church that Bethany is sweet on decorated a gazebo along our local trail and, with the help of Bethany's BFF, got her there to invite her to JSB with him. Don't worry, pictures of that event WILL get posted on the blog before June 11 when we leave for Zambia! It's my new goal!!</div>

I didn't really know anyone could be as far behind as I am, but here I am. Way behind. To my faithful reader(s), I'm sorry. And I'm not. Things have been busy and I fully intend to continue to blog, but it just has to be at my own pace. So here it is the beginning of the second week of May and I am about to blog about some more stuff that happened in February. But it's pretty great stuff, so even if it's "old news", I'm sure my reader(s) will want to keep reading.<br />
<br />
In February, Ed & I got to visit SARAH!!!! We made the plans initially so we could watch her compete in the MIAA Indoor Track Championships, which were held at Calvin. Unfortunately, she was still recovering from her stress fracture, so we cheered on all the other maroon and gold runners, but we LOVED every minute at the meet and with her, AND with my brother & his family, including the sweet new baby!<br />
<br />
Ed & I flew out of Seattle and before we caught our flight, we went to get some food in the food court and "just happened" to run into my cousin from Alaska who was passing through on her way to a ski weekend with her daughters. We had a great lunch together catching up! So fun!<br />
<br />

THEN, while we were in a layover in Denver, we *just happened* to run into Ed's cousin's wife from Arizona! She was on her way to Michigan also to see her new grandson that was about to be born! The trip was off to quite a start!</div>

We arrived quite late at night, picked up our car rental and headed to the Prince Conference Center (like a hotel on campus) where we were staying for our long weekend. We didn't get to see Sarah until the next morning. It was SO good to see her. Oh, my heart. Then we took her for another x-ray to check for another stress fracture (thankfully - this one was negative!) and then out for lunch. It's quite an experience to sit in Russ' with your college daughter and talk about classes and beliefs and the ups and downs of life. So blessed.</div>

Over the weekend we had lots of fun with them...looking at fossils, reading books, playing toys, taking pictures, eating food, and enjoying being together. Oh, did I mention my parents were in Michigan at the same time?! That was fun, too! Elise & Becca especially thought so because that meant they got to spend FOUR nights at their best friends' house!</div>

We spent a fair bit of time with Sarah, of course...took her & a friend for dinner, saw her room and her hang-out spots, watched part of track practice, hung out at the meet, helped her with her taxes, went for ice cream at Culver's, walked around campus, did dishes in her dorm kitchen...so good to do life with her for a few days!</div>

By the time school let out, the principal came around to the teachers and said, "Go home. Don't stay here and work. Get home before the roads get worse." I went out to my van and it was covered in a sheet of ice. We got home, got to the musical performance (carefully!) and the snow & ice continued. The next day, the matinee of the musical went on as scheduled, but the closing night performance was postponed. Church on Sunday was cancelled, and school and almost all school activities ended up being cancelled that entire following week. Closing night of the musical finally happened on Thursday, but the cast party and striking the set had to wait until the weekend (this is over a week after the snow started) when the thaw began. It has been quite a long time since we have had that much snow and that many days of school cancelled. If we get snow, it tends to not stick around for very long, unless there's a Nor'easter, which came during the middle part of this storm. I didn't take too many pictures, mostly because it was too cold outside and I prefer to enjoy the snow from inside my house. However, by the end of the week, I had cabin fever, so I took a few pictures.<br />

This is the main road leading into our neighborhood. Even it did not get plowed. We just do not have the equipment or man power to keep up with the kind of storm we experienced. A lot of farmers and community members worked hard with their tractors to help pull out people that were stuck and plow roads that the snow plows could not get to.</div>

Finally! We can get out of our driveway...the drift was about the length of our driveway into the street, so it was REALLY hard to get in and out and once I didn't quite make the turn and I dented the passenger side of our new van on the snow bank. Ugh. I still have to go get an estimate to get that fixed and it makes me feel so sick every time I see it. </div>

I think it is safe to say that we got our fill of snow this winter and we have had our fill of rain this spring. It has been exceptionally cold & wet so far this spring, just as our winter was exceptionally cold & wet. Hoping for some more spring-like weather soon. I don't think that I can handle too much more indoor recess...</div>
