A cake of mischief

Make no mistake, there was no trickery in this Loki cake.

She approves!

New-to-us-Van

Once upon a time, God sent us a van.

Now He’s done it again – In a quieter, but still wonderful way.

Mayberry Road Trip

Nigel and John enjoyed a dream-come-true kind of weekend as they did a mini road trip to Mt. Airy, NC.

VBS Pittsford 2019

July 19, 2019 | Stacy

For the first time in a handful of years I did not volunteer at VBS.

Stewart was also not able to volunteer as he just had a lot of days off work for Costa Rica.

Nigel lead a team. Marie helped in Bible. Tab was a youth helper for a team.

Johanna and Katriel were campers.

I did help on Friday in Nigel’s spot because he and John went on a mini-road trip.

HOW did MARIE become 15?!

I remember so vividly when they said, “It’s a girl.” I was in denial for at least 12 hours afterward. Silly doctors. I am a boy-mama.

And here we are 15 years later. For her birthday she asked for a shopping date. Marie, who doesn’t love shopping wanted a ladies formal suit. So we shopped for one. We DID find one in her perfect size at Goodwill.

We grabbed lunch at Golden Corral buffet, and were home for dinner and guests.

And Oreo cheesecake.

Spidey for some,

Toy Story 4 for others.

Fun for all.

Costa Rica 2019

July 12, 2019 | Stacy

At 3:30AM Stewart and I drove to pick up some other travelers and got over to the airport for their early morning flights to Costa Rica.

During their time there, Stewart’s team hosted a VBS for children in both Carpio and Pavos during their short, two-week, summer break. The played games, prepared and served hot lunches, and with the help of translators, told the kids about Jesus and His love and the gift of salvation.

Stewart and Justyn stayed with a host mom who made safe breakfasts and dinners for Stewart.

They had one overnight debriefing on the west coast and got to swim in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the local team from the local church also got to go. This is Ariel and Stewart messing around. He’s not playing Santa Claus.
