Yesterday we headed for Milwaukee at 2pm. It was a very nice evening with Faith Baptist; we enjoyed a very nice dinner at a beautiful banquet facility and the kids had a great time with their kids playing back at the church. Kina and Trish did a WONDERFUL job with the songs and I could listen to them all the time.... hmmmm, when is the CD coming out ladies???? Pastor Dave's talk was motivating as usual. Haggie and Baggie were a bit nervous, but everything seemed to go okay. Well, that is until we mentioned the men could just not go golfing! :D The testimonies of the people were wonderful and such an encouragement. Hopefully, we blessed them as much as I felt blessed by them. We picked up the kids, headed back about 10pm and arrived at Grace about 12:30. We were very glad to be home and after dropping off Jayne, Ryan, and Bradley we came home and crashed.... for about 3 hours. Which leads us to today. We got up at 4:15am to get the kids ready for camp and left the house at 5am. We drove Kyle, Chad, Brandon and Jacob up to Elgin for camp and the other kids were in the church van and Kina's car. Traffic was actually pretty good... we arrived a little before 6:45 I believe. After getting everyone set with their belongings we said good-bye and headed home. BUT first, Jim and I stopped at Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robbins and got a strawberry fruit blast.... YUMMY (and dairy free) and a couple of donuts. We arrived back home about 9am and went to bed as we were exhausted! We woke up a few hours later and did nothing until 3, that's when we went swimming and unfortunately chopped part of our mulberry tree. It fell down sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning. And... are garden is toast. So, is our little plastic "love seat". Good news is, it didn't land on the fence! The tree hasn't been great for... a long time. We lost a part years ago, and then a large, smaller branch and that section is actually what kept it from hitting the fence... Praise God. We haven't talked about, but I think the whole tree will have to come down soon. We have been trying to avoid that as it a female tree and didn't want the other two male trees to change to a female because the berries are a MESS. We will just see what happens.... So, we came inside a while ago and just ordered Chinese takeout... I can't believe how fast the day has gone!! (but, I knew it would)

Sounds like you have had a busy few days. I'm glad that you had a chance to relax a bit today. Thank you for being willing to drive the boys to camp this morning. I know Jacob and I really appreciated it.
Glad you had a good day. Thanks for helping to drive at the last minute, I know that Pastor Dave sure appreciated your willingness to help (as usual). The Billquists are good people. And all God's people said, "Amen".
Wow Down time is great. I'm glad you are home safe and sound. Have a great week together kid free newlyweds.
Thank you for helping Pastor w/ travel arrangements to Elgin. I hope you and Jim get plenty of rest while the kids are away.
