On our vacation to Williamsburg VA we stopped by some good family friends, the Davis'. Here we are at Bob Evans. As a family joke we had all the kids stick their straws up their noses. L to R. Mikayla, Haley, Curtis, Colin, Kelsey and Jenna.
The 7th graders at the end of the year school talent show sang the song "So Long, Fair Well," from the Sound of Music. Haley was the little one that sang the end..."The Sun has gone to bed and so must I." She did soooo good and wasn't nervous at all.
Mikayla had to research and write a paper on a Missionary. She chose John Wesley. Then she had to make a Pop Bottle Person. They had a big presentation night where they had to read their paper. It was a BIG DEAL and she did a great job!
Haley celebrated her 7th birthday several times. We were in Decatur at Jeff's uncles funeral on her birthday. So we did sneak in a quick party at Monicals Pizza. When we came back we had a party with grandma and grandpa at our house. And finallya couple weeks later we were able to have PJ/Breakfast Party. All the girls came to our house in their pj's. We served them a huge breakfast with frosted muffins for her 'cake.' We had a scavenger hunt where the girls filled their "goodie bags" with the things they found out hidden in the yard, Easter Egg Hunt style since Easter was around the corner. A great time was had by all.
Welcome to our blog. My name is Amy. We are a family of 5. Jeff and I and 3 girls; Jenna 14, Mikayla 10, and Haley 7. Jeff is a realtor and a pastor. We moved to Iowa 10 years ago to "plant" a new church. We moved here with our family and didn't have any idea who would be in our church, where we would live, or where this church would even meet to worship. After lots of blood, sweat and tears we have finally accomplished building Phase 1 of Heartland Community Church. The church has grown now to about 200 people. It keeps us very very busy. I (Amy)have my teaching degree but have chosen to work elsewhere to have have a more healthy family life. I work part time for the church as an office administrator and also part time for our churches new Childcare Center...Corridor Christian Early Learning Center. I am blessed by God to have a wonderful family, a great church, and a super job. I hope that every once in awhile you can log on to catch up with us on this journey called "life." Feel free to use the link on this blog to email me and keep in touch. Happy reading!!!
