Summer's Here!

And with it, family get-togethers.
The Schrocks had a fun few days this week at Dreamwood Lake Lodge.
Children, nature, singing, games... and don't forget the food!

The place was so relaxing! I'm holding my cousin's baby. She loved the outdoors as much as I did.
..Lila..


We missed this little lady's mama.
..Ydana..


So good to have the Troyer family living in Plain City!
..Joash..


"whatcha gonna do, in a little canoe..." with only ONE oar? zigzag, of course!
..Abigail, Emily, Karen..


We all love Grandma!


..some of the cousins..

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt!

..thanks to Mom for most of the photography..

she is inspired.

Guess what, fellow Xangans!

I would like to post again. Not just a little, short, "hi, I am alive" sort of post, but a real, live, this-is-me, my-life-in-pictures sort of post.

I Shall. I will. I must post soon.

Until then, I'll leave you with a pic of our staff in Copeland.

and that's not all...
but my "other" life hasn't been documented in pictures quite as completely...
volleyball on Tuesday evenings...
parent-teacher conferences last Thursday...
grocery shopping and library runs on Saturdays...
socializing with local youth some Sundays...
the occasional trip to Hutchinson...

life is good.

someone sent me Belgian truffles a week ago.
i'm going to have one now.

have a great week, everyone, and thanks for praying!

wow...

I thought I'd do a nice long picture post while I was home for Christmas vacation.

Home? I relaxed for less than a week before scurrying hither and thither to enjoy family!

Spent a tiny bit of time with a few of the Schrocks at Grandpas on Christmas Day; a few days with the Esh family at Warsaw Church of God Camp; a day or two at home, then to Florida to meet my new niece! Today was spent with the Hostetlers, and tomorrow I leave for Kansas.

Hope to keep you posted more frequently from now till the end of the year... we now have hi-speed out there so i have no excuse. :)

Have a wonderful new year, everyone!

I wanna go home...

I heard about the day You went away
You said You had to go prepare a place
And even though I’ve never seen Your face
I’m missin’ You
I lie awake tonight and I watch the sky
And I wish it didn’t have to be so high
‘Cause I’m belonging on the other side
And I’m missin’ You

‘Cause somewhere behind those stars
Is Someone who belongs to me
And I know in my deepest heart
There’s a place for You until I find the place You made for me
But still I’m missin’ You

I dream about Your promise to return
And I wake up hangin’ on Your every word
But for now my feet are planted here on earth
So I’m missin’ You
And even while they say that I’m a fool
I know You see me waiting here for You
Oh, and prayin’ that somehow You’ll get here soon
‘Cause I’m missin’ You

‘Cause somewhere behind those stars
Is Someone who belongs to me
And I know in my deepest heart
There’s a place for You until I find the place You made for me
But still I’m missin’ You

How much longer will it be
Till I get to see you
Though I know you’re right here with me
Tell me when can I be there with you

‘Cause somewhere behind those stars
Is Someone who belongs to me
And I know in my deepest heart
There’s a place for You until I find the place You made for me
But still I’m missin’ You

Oh, I’m missin’ You
Lord, I’m missin’ You

-Chris Rice



We're hard and heavy into Christmas program practice... anyone want to come?
It's next Tuesday night, the sixteenth.
Would love to see you there!
The Friday after that, I head to Ohio!
whoohoooo!
yay for family!
