Dance Challenge

Our graceful dancer is wrapping up another year of fabulous performances with Kirby's School of Dance. She continues to challenge herself and the results are evident. Perhaps as her mother I am biased, however many others continue to show their support too. 

Lyrical - "Let It Be"

Jazz - "Disco Inferno"

Hip Hop - "Good Vibrations"

I can't wait to see what the next dance year will bring!

Jesus' Essential Paradox

Easter 2023

When we embrace Jesus' essential paradox - that to lose is to gain and to die is to live -we come to God, who gathers up the broken pieces of the world and makes them more complete and beautiful than they were before they broke.   ~ Rachel Srubas 

Easter Sunrise

Sometime you just have to take a drive out of town!

After church, John and Jan joined us for a simple yet soul satisficing Easter dinner at our home. 

Easter treats!

Jentry got to celebrate with the Stengers and Schmeichels in sunny Arizona.

Fine at 9

Let's strike up some fun and roll on over to celebrate Mason's 9th birthday!

Pastime Lanes in Hastings was the perfect venue to celebrate Mason with 7 of his friends and his little bowler brother.

Mason was lucky enough to spend his actual birthday on a class field trip to the Edgerton Explorit Center in Aurora. I sugared up the students with doughnuts and shipped them off on the bus with their unfortunate teacher, Mrs. Johnson.

The Hamilton's came through with a gift that Mason has been wanting for a while. An actual SV Eagles football helmet. 

His current career plans are to play in the NFL. He is kind of a big deal in these parts. Highlighted in the newspaper even!

Mason got a bike upgrade and was kind enough to gift his old one to his grateful little bro.

To wrap up the celebrations, we ventured to Grafton for Wednesday wing night with Papa and Onnie.

Mason you are such a special gift to this world and we are honored to celebrate you!
