MELTED SNOW = LOTS OF WATER

Today at River Park

We'll have to put our "picnic in the park"
on hold for now.

Bridge is fine....but can't get there from any side!

"April Showers" gone wrong...

"April showers bring May flowers"?
...might have to go with silk flowers this year...

God's voice thunders in marvelous ways;
He does great things beyond our understanding.
He says to the snow, "Fall on the earth,"
and to the rain shower, "Be a mighty downpour."
So that all men He has made may know His work,
He stops every man from his labour.
Job 37:5-7

Mina's 87th Birthday!

We were blessed to celebrate Mina's 87th
birthday today... She is so kind, caring,
generous, encouraging, and prayerful...
We love you!

Very excited babysitters!

Last night Kelsey, Patricia and I
had the great joy of babysitting Sydnee & Lily.
They were so good and the time went very quickly.
So precious!

Girl Friends....

A fun day of 'girls' yesterday!
We had some of Kelsey's friends for
lunch before they headed to the music festival.
Then for supper we got to enjoy some time with
Emily who was visiting from Ontario.

Winter Project

It was a thrill to have "house guests" at
the fort we worked on this winter!
With melting temperatures, not
sure how much longer we'll be able
to entertain here, but it was fun to have
visitors in the afternoon...and evening!

Time well spent.....

The kids at Youth Group recently made cookies
and cards to give out at a nursing home.
The next day we went to each room to deliver
cookies and a card with a gospel message enclosed.
So many stories...the seniors loved it so much
that young people would take the time to
think of them...
A small thing to us....but meant so much to them!

PS...today I went to Grace's "Care Conference",
where staff, the doctor and pharmacist go around
the table and share what's new and their goal
for her for the coming year.
Nothing has changed since last year...
- she doesn't come for meals unless she wants to
- she doesn't want a bath
- she doesn't join in on any activities
(But....she DOES respond well to chocolate bars!!)

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Tyler is 17 years old today...
Happy Birthday to our wonderful son!

February Break....tradition

It has become a tradition during the February break
to hang out with the Klassens and play games and
build a snow fort....and there is no better
place to do that than in
Grandpa & Grandma Larson's backyard....

As you can see....Grandpa has been piling
up snow in his yard for quite some time now...
Barb & I building forts with the Molbergs...fun times!
