Well, it was a fun poignant time with Ryan and Kayleen over chili and reminiscing as we said good bye to them heading out for North Dakota. Chase and Dara rounded out the dinner table and we all had fun besting each others stories of shenanigans in school including Kayleen getting smacked by a Sister telling her to pay attention, Ryan never making it to the last day of school, Chase's bicycle wrecks - but I think Mike topped us all with the stealing of the schools cannon and putting it in the principles yard which then got stolen by a rival school who dumped it in a lake.
FUN memories!!!
While the chile was cooking we had the privilege of keeping Ace, Kyle and Aaron while Megan and Dal celebrated their 3rd anniversary by seeing a movie, going out to eat and even bowling a game. They are truly learning to get as much in as they can in their "alone" time.
Aaron was scooting EVERYWHERE while Kyle turned in circles. Ace is labeling EVERYTHING with words and LOVES playing with his two brothers. Never a dull moment with three little boys.
If you havent yet, check out the boys halloween costumes on Megan's facebook account. TOO CUTE!!!
Dara and I are still enjoying going every Wednesday morning 10 am and singing the old hymns with about 10 to 15 of the residents at the retirement center just down the street. Today as we sang Dara's favorite song, JESUS PAID IT ALL, she teared up - the words of that song are HERS - she told the group.
I HEAR THE SAVIOR SAY "THY STRENGTH INDEED IS SMALL.
CHILD OF WEAKNESS, WATCH AND PRAY. FIND IN ME THINE ALL IN ALL."
FOR NOTHING GOOD HAVE I WHEREBY THY GRACE TO CLAIM.
I'LL WASH MY GARMENTS WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF CALVARY'S LAMB.
AND WHEN BEFORE THE THRONE I STAND IN HIM COMPLETE,
"JESUS DIED MY SOUL TO SAVE," MY LIPS SHALL STILL REPEAT.
JESUS PAID IT ALL; ALL TO HIM I OWE.
SIN HAD LEFT A CRIMSON STAIN; HE WASHED IT WHITE AS SNOW.
That is Dara's favorite song.
Hope all are having a GREAT week
ENJOY!!!
