March ends and Spring begins!

Still very chilly here in Indiana.  The temps are below normal and we are all praying for nicer weather soon. We are all watching the NCAA March Madness and spring training for the Chicago Cubs has also begun.  Josh seems to enjoy watching the Cubs now that he is into baseball. 

Josh's basketball team ended their season as runner up in the league.  They had a great season and ended it by only losing twice to the same team.  Josh enjoyed his season and had a fun team.  His friend Ben was on the team and that always helps to have a buddy! Josh had a great fan club with Cate, Grandma Carol, and Uncle Jerry attending most games.

 

 

Grandpa Bob had a birthday last weekend so we had a birthday dinner celebration at Yen Ching's.  Josh & Cate love this Chinese restaurant.  They are buddy buddy with the cooks and always enjoy watching their cooking talents.

 

Josh was wanting a new bat.  The team was selling detergent as a fund raiser so we told Josh if he sold enough to pay for a new bat he could get one.  He reached his goal!  He is very proud of the new bat.  The new detergent arrived and then the delivering began.  Below you'll see some of Josh's faithful supporters that are always there for him.  Grandma Carol, Mrs. Newhouse (his 5th grade teacher), and Mrs. Sipe (his current ESL teacher).  Nice job Josh!

 

Of course I have to add a few pictures of Sweet Nolan.  He is now 2-1/2 and quite a smart little guy.  He talks in long sentences and is very clear.  If you want to know what he is thinking or doing just ask him!

Children are sure precious!  Our God is so good.  A favorite verse this week is ....

God is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love!  Joel 2:13

I pray you know Jesus and feel his abounding love!  If you doubt Him just look at the faces of these children.

Choosing joy,
Chris & crew
