May 2013

The month of May was super busy.  Besides having two children's birthdays in it, we had lots of events we were involved in.  Charity had her 13th birthday at the beach with friends for her first party.  The piano students had their Spring recital.  Christiana, Charity, Emma, and Johanna had their soccer tournament.  Unfortunately Hannie (Johanna) had a bad seizure so she did not play their last game.  Then Zach graduated from High School, which is always a big affair for our home school group.  Katie gave the senior charge so she was home for almost a week.  We had so much fun while she was here, and even went to the mall and got Ani's (Christiana's) ears pierced.  The day after grad we had an open house for Zach and attended another few grad parties.  I think we stopped at three after ours.  This year we had 28 graduates, our largest "class."













After grad and we finished our school year, we packed up and headed to Nashville, TN.  Nathan and his family, along with Stacey, were in Indiana so they headed over to Nashville to meet up with us for the evening.  We actually arrived within 5 minutes of each other.  We had the BEST time together; laughing, fellowshipping, eating, laughing, taking photos of all the cutie pies, talking, and laughing together.  We also headed to the pool and cooled off.  Here are some cute photos of our kiddos and our granddaughter.










 


The next day we started our conference for ATI.  It was another great conference with wonderful speakers and meeting the Lord.  The children all enjoyed their programs.  Stephen was in his first Children's Institute along with Abby.  Johanna and Emma were in PreEmbassy, Charity and Christiana in Commit, and Caleb and David as leaders in ALERT Cadets.  Zach stayed home to work.  Here are some more photos with some of their leaders.

This was the last day of May.  When I blog about June I get to include photos of the Creation museum, and Grandma's and Aunt Lisa's house.
