Abby update - June 10

Okay, now that the Spurs held on to win Game 2, we can move on to blog and bed. We've just tucked in our own Manu and Tim (Abby and Frank chose #20 and #21 jerseys respectively for birthday gifts last year), and I think I'm going to follow "Pop" to bed pretty quickly...

Today was a very special day at church. It was our pastor's last Sunday, but the church was able to vote today to call his son, our current youth pastor, to serve as senior pastor. Both of these men and their wives have given so much of themselves to our church and its people, and, in the past year, they have also offered our family much love and support. Thanks, Pastor Jerry and Pastor Jeff.

It was also a special day because Frank played a selection on the piano during the church service. He did a good job on a peppy version of "Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho." Abby would say it was a special day because the teens had a swim party after the pot-luck lunch. Gordon would probably say the pot-luck was special...

We did need our day of rest and relaxation today, because the rest of the week is going to be mayhem. Abby and Frank have 4-H crafts camp each morning and VBS at night. That's in addition to two therapy sessions, a violin lesson, 4-H dog project practice, agility practice, riding therapy, volunteering at the library, and pitching practice. Gordon has meetings out of the office on three days, while I have two workshops to prepare for and teach, plus we're both helping a little with VBS. I'm just warning ya--blog posts might be a little intermittent this week...!

Needless to say, we still welcome your prayers--and, as we pause to catch our breaths, we'll offer up some for you as well...

Love,
Lee Ann, Gordon, Abby, & Frank
