Thanks to some very generous friends, Christoph and I spent the weekend at a beautiful beach house and did......absolutely nothing. Well, we slept in, read books, prayed together, ate lots, walked on the boardwalk, and went to the gym. Very refreshing!
(Thank you, Elise for holding down the fort while we were gone!)
Our dear friends, Dave and Jen, have recently learned that their youngest daughter, Sarah may likely have a form of cancer called neuroblastoma. This is obviously a very difficult time for them, but they are relying on God's strength and grace. It is difficult to watch our friends walk through such a painful trial, but we know they are being sustained by a loving Savior. Please pray for them as they face the long days ahead.
Ev and I went for a walk in the woods this afternoon. Rock Creek Park virtually begins in our backyard. (Truth be told, we started out looking for the cover for our grill which blew off in the wind storm the other day. I think it blew all the way to Frederick.) We decided to do some discovering.
We never found the grill cover, but we had a lovely afternoon.
Evelyn's been stringing lots of beads lately.
Thank you for my bracelets and bookmarks. I love you, Emmy girl!
I took Evelyn, Abigail, and Rebekah ice skating today. For the first hour we virtually had the rink all to ourselves. This was only Rebekah's second time skating and she did great. Who was the first to fall? Yours truly. Never mind the fact that I've been skating since I was 5. Yep, it's always good to be humbled. :)
Evelyn, a.k.a. "Stretch", played her first basketball game Saturday. She even scored a basket. Way to go, Ev!
