Spencer is in first grade! He is mostly excited that he has his very own desk with all his very own things in it.  

Sophia saying goodbye..and good ridence. She was bragging all week to Madeline and Spencer about how she gets to stay home alone with mom. She was looking forward to this day all week! 

If you look long enough you will find the man.  

The Hurley gang. Dropping Logan at his first day of Kindergarten. He also goes to the same school as Spencer and Madeline.  

Spencer has been wearing converse since he was about a year old. That is until when my mom came to visit this spring and took him shoe shopping and convinced him to get some Nike's that zip! The boy has gone back to what he loves! We went shoe shopping for school shoes and of course he went nuts over these. His exact words to Dan when he got home "Dad, when I saw these I almost died!"  

Jacobs Well has some great kids growing up in it! Here is some of the pack! Spencer, Micah, Maddie and Logan!  

like father, like son! This is Eric and his son Micah sitting together outside the new church building 

Dan and I were in the yard early Saturday morning and Madeline had the camera in tow. She came running up to me yelling 'Mom, look at this picture of Sophie..it looks like their is an angel on her head." The funny thing about that is...while my mom was up here helping us out while I was very sick she was explaining to Sophia that she needs to be a helper and be "Grandmas angel' when she leaves. Not a day passes that Sophs doesn't remind us allthat she is Grandmas angel!.  

Nice to know it doesn't matter where or what he is doing,,,he has his spiderman web throwing hand in motion! 

Tonight was Spencer's first soccer practice. Right before we left we thought we would get a picture of him but the sisters wanted in on the action..check out Sophia,...She is dying to be big like her brother and sister. Soon girl!  

 

 

Madeline had her very first soccer practice today. Her team is called the Blue Dolphins. We all really liked coach Clyde. He runs a tight ship, but he has fun and is fair. He has four daughters, and his third one, Alexandra, is on the team. Madeline had a blast and even won the wind sprint as fastest on her team. Go Schmaddy! Daddy got tired just watching you guys.  

Our dear friend and pastor Eric turns 36 on Monday the 28th. Our church family threw him a surprise birthday party/BBQ at Underhill park near the church today after service. It was a great time. Here he is with his present - everyone chipped in to get him a new grill! Happy Birthday bro. Tina and I are so grateful that God put you in our lives. We love you.

God is raising up some young worshipers at Jacob's Well! I know the pounding I took trying to walk amongst them this morning, I can only imagine what they did to the devil.
