Some Post-Conference Fun!

Swimming for the 6 youngest ones!







Then, the annual "Parking Garage Dance"!







Then, my camera battery died! :-( 
And us old folks got pretty sleepy, so we called it a night long before the kids did!

Just a Few Snippets from the Homeschool Conference!

We sure loved hearing from Dr. Carlton McLeod this year! He was passionate and very inspiring! 
Caroline and Valerie kept busy with some volunteer work! 

 The littles did well.  (Especially Brielle!  She just falls asleep when she sits still for a little while.   Kinda like her Mommy. :-) 
 So, so happy to be together with Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Smith! :-) 
Love seeing them so happily married and with child at this year's conference!! 
 Isn't she beautifully radiant and adorable?!!! 
And Taylor . . .  a handsome, proud Daddy! :-) 


Homeschool Conference 2018!!!

Having a blast at the homeschool conference! 
Love this time of encouragement, inspiration and vision for discipling and home educating our children!  It is such a tremendous blessing to us all! 

Steven Curtis Chapman Concert With Valerie!

I was so blessed to be able to join Valerie to another Steven Curtis Chapman concert on Thursday night! We had such a fun time together and were so blessed once again by SCC's music and so many testimonies of God's faithfulness. 


 SCC's family started Show Hope, a ministry to care for orphans. 
He gave an update that 6,000 families have been blessed to receive a Show Hope scholarship toward their adoption expenses. 
 And then, of course, the ministry of their Maria's Big House of Hope in China is still going strong, and giving life saving care to hundreds of orphans that can then go on to being adopted.
