A Party Day

When Emma was very small I used to take her in the car and tell her we were going to have a "party in the car". Everyone loves parties, don't we. This day has surely been a party day for us. Liam started us out by finishing his soccer season undefeated!! His coach, David, told the team that not very many people ever get to be on a team that was undefeated for the whole season. His coaching really has made difference in the way they played this year. Great-grandpa Andy was able to come today despite the very muggy weather. He loves watching and is coaching them all the time. When he was young, in the 1920's he played soccer on a team in Chicago with a bunch of Swedish immigrants. I asked if he could understand them and he said they all spoke English. I am really surprised that soccer was here in the US that early.

From the soccer game we proceeded to drop off Grandpa Andy, run home, work on sermons, clean the pool and get ready for Sunday. Then off to Shannon's open house--Then to Kelly Corbin's wedding where Maya was the flowergirl. She was pulled down the aisle and it went well. You may recognize the officiant and 3 of our four beautiful daughters!!! Lynn is missing! :-( Maya and her momma had a great time.

We concluded the day with another open house--back for the reception dinner--and one final open house.. Now it's time for bed, cause Sunday is coming!! It is a busy but wonderful day to remind us of our dear Lord's coming back to life from the dead. He is RISEN INDEED!~!!
