New Pics

Thank you to Julie In't Hout for the beautiful new family pictures!  She snapped these for us while being 9 mos. pregnant even.  We love her and we love the new pictures!

Another Successful Season

Saturday morning Troy and I made the lovely drive through the pass over to a little town called Hemet.  His team made it to the next level in post-season play and the games this weekend were held there.  It was a rough, but exciting game.  Troy got knocked down a few times, but thankfully the refs were on it.  The Dragons won the game, but this would be their last.  (They had lost one of their Redlands games, so that must have put them down in the standings-not sure how it all works!)  Anyway, Troy was thankful to get a nice long soccer season after a tough beginning with his broken arm. The boys really played together well and there was lots of improvement.  We enjoyed meeting new families and watching Troy excel at something he loves!

Troy and his friend, Ian, were the captains for the last game.

Shinguard check.

 A last run through the ever-fun "parent tunnel."

Prayer Walk

Today some people from our church took part in a really cool thing.  We did a prayer walk through two of the schools that our church is connected to-one Christian and one public.  People spread out over the campuses and prayed as they walked.  We had a list of staff and teachers' names to include in our prayers for each campus.  It was neat that a member of the public school board was there to pray and does not even attend our church.  Also, what a neat experience to walk around Troy's campus with him and pray for each and every teacher and even the guy who takes out the trash after school.  (He also had to look in the window of his classroom because he was sure that his teacher would still be there!) What a blessing to be able to lift up these special places in prayer.
