Oh dear, it's been quite a while since I posted anything here!!! Things have been somewhat busy, but overall really good.
Some highlights have been, (while looking back at my calendar)
The first weekend in Feb. we went on a spiritual retreat with the other 1st year pm students and spouse. It was a good weekend and good to get away from everything. The weekend was led by Robert and Luann
Yutzy, Luann is our leader in formation every Thurs. night and also spiritual director one-on-one with both Dan and I. I really appreciate Luann and her guidance!!! She is amazing.
The last week of Feb. was a really good one. We went to a Tommy Sands concert, he is a Irish folk singer and peace activist. He his two grown children perform with him and they were amazing! We really enjoyed it! We came to find out later that he has visited the
Bruderhof more than once and Dan's parents actually ate breakfast with them once. I even told Dan and he agreed that we could see Dan's dad enjoying a nice long conversation with Tommy Sands...so that was amusing.
Same week we went to a production of
Godspell! We took Maddie with us, but left the other two with a babysitter. We all loved it!! They did a great job and it was a lot of fun!
This past Thurs. night all pm students and spouse went to hear Shane Claiborne speak at
Bethel College. This was awesome! He is a great speaker and he is very
challenging. Great, great night!
Monday I had to take Alexa to the dentist to get two teeth filled. The one cavity was under an old filling, so it was a little more time consuming. She did great, though. Her cheek is still a little sore from biting it while she was numb.
This week is spring break for the college. That means I have most of the week off as well!! I had to go in Monday for cleaning day and I will go in for a little bit Friday morning, but I have the rest of the week off! It is going entirely too fast. It is giving me time to prepare for Mom and Dad to come this weekend though. They are getting here on Friday and will be here through the next Thursday. The girls have their spring break next week, so they will be here for most of that.
And that is about it...that I can think of right now anyway!
Only to have this view a day or so later.....
Mom and Dad were hear to visit a couple of weeks ago. It was a fun, but busy time. This picture is from the Hutchinson Zoo where we went after church and lunch that Sunday. We went on this stupid little train ride.
