Yard Work


We used to have the church playground and two garden beds right behind our backyard.  So that's where we spent a lot of play time, and it was a great source of tomatoes and basil and other garden goodies.  Now that the area is a construction zone for the new ministry building, it was time to use our own backyard a little more! 

So I was excited to be given this cute tub that is now growing just enough tomatoes and basil to keep us supplied for caprese salad this summer.

And below is the sandbox I "found" on Pinterest - and by that I mean that my sweet neighbor gave it to us when she saw that I was pinning pictures of sandboxes and she had one to give away!  The kids are having a great time getting all sandy in the backyard now.

Easter Cantata


This year Naomi and I both had a part in the Easter cantata.  She sang with the children's choir, and I played a flute obbligato for one of the songs.  We loved performing at two nursing homes on the Saturday before Easter.

KOR Spring Concert


Naomi and Johnathan really enjoyed going to the KOR school's Fine Arts Friday program this year.  Every Friday they joined kids their age in art, drama, music and P.E. classes.  



Tonight they showed everything they learned, with an art exhibit, fairy tales performed by each class, and singing, dance, and recorder performances.
