As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.  “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

Matthew 4:18-19

Hoodie Finished

I finished the hoodie yesterday… could have gotten to it sooner but didn’t.  I sewed all the pieces together {boy do I not like that job}.  If I made it again I would use a circular needle up to the underarm and then do a three needle bind off at the shoulders.  Less sewing and smoother seems.  I would also knit the hood on either live stitches or pick up stitches instead of sewing that on too.  I’m not sure on the fit as the yarn is very “springy”… doesn’t hold its shape well.  I might block it and see if that would help.

Here it is… pictures by my son.

Pool’s Open!

The pool opened this weekend and it couldn’t have been a more perfect time.  The weather was in the high 80′s {and dare I say 90′s} the whole weekend.  We headed up the opening day and the kids…

Dove for rings….

Blew their swim shirt up to look like they had big muscles…

Splashed water {just not at Mom}….

Broke in the slide by going down and swimming to Daddy {Ms. S looked so scared coming off but was so HAPPY}…

Ms. A went down on her back after giving it a few tries sitting {fast vs. slow}…

Mr. C loves to go down fast, so he is always on his back or belly…

No shots of Mr. J as he was at a youth group car wash raising money for camp.  But we went back again on Monday and enjoyed it with him too!

There was a huge hole in this tree and he was trying to get Ms. S to get into it by showing her it was not scary.  She did not get in though…

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6

366-149

Then Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the LORD; in the LORD my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance.

1 Samuel 2:1

Memorial Day

Make today more about parades, picnics, and family time.  Remember those who serve and have served our country to keep us free and safe.  Thank a solider, past or present, and say a prayer for their safety and for the families they leave behind as they carry out their jobs.
