We had a super fun, super packed weekend and it was so nice to be home, and enjoying it together. Friday night, we went down to Houston as part of the Bridge Ministry from our home church. It's a ministry in which we take food, clothes, water, and the Love of Christ to the homeless population of Houston. It happens every third Friday, and this last Friday marked 9 years that this ministry has been pouring out to Houston's homeless community. Phiona and some of her friends were able to serve and let me just tell you: never have the people we are serving had such polite manners! Usually there is a bit of cursing, a bit of pushing, and a whole lot of attitude. A few people in our group joked that we should have the kids serve all the time, because of how smoothly it went and how everyone was so polite!
On Saturday, Mike decided to take us on a date! We went to this cute little place called 7 Acre Woods in Conroe. You pay and admission fee (uber cheap) and then they have all kinds of stuff for the family to do: Petting Zoo, train rides, pony rides, Ladder Golf, ziplines, scooters, rock wall, putt-putt golf, volleyball, a mini football field, puppet plays, and more! Here's a few pics from that day:
Finally, on Sunday, Phiona graduated from the kindergarten ministry at church and got to go up on stage to receive her new Bible. The pictures are a bit blurry, but she was so proud.
While I can't say for sure how long this Facebook break will last, I can tell you that I am loving the freed up time that I get with my family! It's only been three days, so let's not get too excited, but it feels so good to be intentional with my time.
Until next time!









LOVE the pictures and more especially the commentary accompanying them. I'm so happy for the three of you!
