Just wanted to let you know that I am really limiting my computer time this weekend. Mike's parents arrived yesterday evening and we are enjoying our time with them. They came up to see the snow and to wish their baby a Happy 40th Birthday!! More on that later...
Hope everyone has a warm weekend!

Portable Church!!!!!


This is so exciting!!!!! We have been waiting and praying for this day! Today we had the honor of preparing to set-up our portable church at a local elementary school. Two weeks from tomorrow (February 8) we will have our first official church service as
Harvest Bible Chapel Granger!!

Here is the trailer with all of our church equipment....sound system, greeting tables, children's ministry stuff, signs, and so much more!

Here is Trent, our pastor, reading some scripture and spending some
time in prayer before we even begin the day.

Here are the signs that will go out by the road to advertise and direct
people to our church......please come!!
Also, notice the snow...it was freezing!!

OH Wow!! Here is most of the worship team...with my sweet husband on the far left!
They sounded awesome!!!!

Healthworks Kids Museum


So this is how we spent our Friday afternoon....Healthworks kids museum!!
The little girls went to a class on making healthy choices while the bigger kids got to dissect some pig hearts. We do science as a part of our schoolwork, but there is no way that I could give them this kind of science (plus I don't have pig hearts just lying around my house!). It is amazing how many resources I have found to supplement what we do at home and also give the kids some time to be with their friends.

Leah, Grace, and Sarah Joy listening to the teacher talk about making healthy choices.

College? Well, sort of.....


Graham started college this week...sort of...
He has started taking a Lego Robotics Course offered at a local college. His first class was this week and he absolutely loved it! He had to build a robot with a computer something in it and hook it up to a computer via a USB cable and then program the robot to do what he wanted it to do....way beyond his mom/teacher! You could just see the excitement in his face when he got home!!
Thank you, Grandma and PawPaw for this awesome Christmas present!!

Catchin' up on our week!


We found out through our local homeschool group that the History Museum and the Studebaker Museum were FREE on Monday....so we took advantage of the sunshine and the break from school (MLK..haha) and went downtown to check out these museums. The history museum currently has an incredible display of Tusks from wayyyyy back. The kids thought this was really cool...but not quite as cool as the the cars at the Studebaker museum.


Apparently I wasn't supposed to take any pictures in the history museum....whoops!

Here are the kids in front of some really cool old cars....

Oh, a Jaguar!
