Words are unnecessary

Off to the great white north

Austin and Evan are headed to Thunder Bay Canada at 3:30am Friday morning.  There youth group has been to the Consumed conference there 3 years now.  Salt and Light is hosting this conference and since they are sorta like our mother church we go. They give us church reviews and come every year to encourage us.  As a matter of fact our pastor and all the young couples that work with our youth are moving near Fargo North Dakota to do a church plant with Salt and Light.  Two of the couples have already moved but they will be meeting our kids up there for the conference. 

I am none to keen about letting my two eldest fly in a plane to a place so far away.  This will be Evan's first airplane flight, although he says it will not compare to the Huey helicopter that he flew in a couple years back.  I prefer all my children in their own beds every night, but I am not clingon mom so off they go into the wild blue yonder.  There is much hyper-ness in the house right now, so I better go and get them in bed.

A Luke moment

Last week before school started it was meet the teacher night and we were running hard to get ready in time.  Luke blew by me from the great outdoors and an unpleasant odor of boy hit me full force.  There was no time for showers, so I just told him to change his shirt and spray himself with Axe or something.  As we were gathering up belongings and heading out, Luke smelled familiar yet strange.  I asked him what that smell was and he said; "Evan said I couldn't use his Axe, so I saw the lemony pledge and sprayed myself with it."

I grabbed the keys and we went to school to meet his teacher.  God bless her!
