Blanca, Newsboys, and God hugs

When we heard that one of Marie’s favorite recording artists, Blanca, was going to be an opening act for The Newsboys on the Big Church Night Out tour, we got tickets for her and John to attend (Mama had to work & Tab was sleeping over at Nan’s).

They had great seats and seriously enjoyed all the artists.

That would have been enough for a memorable evening with Daddy.

But then on the way out they bumped into our friend Mrs. Crandall.  Mrs. C had two backstage passes to meet the Newsboys, but had a family group of more than two, so she offered the passes to John and Marie.

Pretty snazzy, huh?

Psalm 135:3
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant!

Happy Help

It’s amazing how much a busy mom can accomplish on a busy Saturday morning when she has two joy-filled teenagers working to help her. 

Nigel brought his Johnny Cash CD and they both provided elbow grease and happy hearts.
