Family Christmas Digital Page

Most of my scrapbooks are traditional, paper. Occasionally I throw in a digital page, to put in a special album just for digital experiments.

Autumn at My Place

A week ago I took my new Canon Rebel T3i camera out and about our place to attempt to capture the beauty. The large photo is of a tree that I can almost touch from our upper deck. I love the fall!

SonSurf Beach Bash VBS

Our church is a "church plant," first launched to the public in September 2002. For some of our years, we have been "mobile," meeting in school buildings. We do have our own leased building now. Last year I directed our very first VBS, with 50 children and 25 workers. This was our second year, with 71 children and 30 workers. It was awesome!! Thursday is the special day where we emphasize why Jesus came to earth, died on the cross, and rose again. Our pastor (my son) shares what the Bible has to say and then gives the children the opportunity to speak with him (and me) individually, if they want to know more about becoming a child of God. As a result, ten children gave their hearts to Jesus. The entire week was an incredible blessing--and SO MUCH FUN!!

Siblings and Friends

It's just very special when your siblings are also your best friends, and that is the case with my brother Keith, my sister Janene, and myself. The older we get, the more we treasure our times together

Easter Afternoon

After a fantastic service at RiverOaks Church, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, we enjoyed a traditional Easter afternoon, with dinner followed by egg-coloring and Easter baskets. Rainy weather deterred us from the usual egg hunt, and we certainly missed our daughter and her family (couldn't come because of work schedules). But it was a fun and relaxing afternoon with our "kids."

We were thrilled to attend the Debut Concert of Last Ones First, at RiverOaks Church. There was no admission charge, but tshirts and CDs were sold and donations were accepted for Mark and Tory's upcoming mission trip to Nicaragua. The music was wonderful, and Conner did a fantastic job with keys, percussion, and many vocal contributions. 

District Music Contest

This is Conner's first year to be in a school choir, so this was great experience for him, to compete at districts. He is also currently taking guitar lessons. He plays keyboard for the youth band at church. He also plays keyboard/percussion and sings background vocals in his dad's band, "Last Ones First."
