Emma

This is Emma's first year to go to KFC (Kids for Christ) Camp. It is a week long (Monday-Friday) - away from home camp. She was super excited to go... she started packing a few days ago. We took her to church this morning and watched her get on the "old school" church bus. I am sure she will have a ton of fun this week. I, on the other hand, am not so excited. I miss her horribly! She is a such a joy to have around and I miss her being with us. Our family doesn't feel complete without her. Something is missing...

Emma

Joy is in heart.
It shines through her eyes.
Compassion is in her heart.
It flows through her actions.
Love is in heart.
It shows in her hugs.

When she is not around
I am sad.
She is my helper,
My shopping buddy,
My friend.

Though she is only 10,
She is one of my favorite people.
A week without her is too long.
I can't wait for her to come back home.

SUMMER!

School's out! School's out!
It is summer! It is summer!
We have sun! We have sun!

Way to go, Dave!

This was a big weekend. Dave received his Master's degree in Educational Supervision and Leadership from Ball State University. He has worked hard for this and I am so proud of him! Way to go, Dave!

I am ready for Spring!

It is May. Mother's Day is 4 days away. There are only 15 days of school left. And I am wondering when spring is going to get here! Summer is on the horizon and all I really want at this point is to feel spring. C'mon weather! Cooperate already!
