The Merry Month of May

Sometimes I forget that there are people that check in on this blog that don't have Facebook.  The month of May has been a really full month for us.  One of the major events was Titus finishing up his second year at Liberty.  We are proud of him and he really applied himself and finished well.  I picked him up to come home for the summer and thus started his search for a summer job.  It took several weeks but we are thankful that he does have a job.  YEA GOD!

On a ministry front May is the last month of formal classes then our students move into building their jungle camp houses.  So we were kept busy with classes, chapels, and end of the semester events.

We have the privilege to work with a great team of trainers. However, we are in a time of transition.  Last week we had a farewell lunch for one of our families that is moving out of the training program and into a full time ministry in their church. Although we were sad to see them leave we know they will be such a blessing in their church. 

Sisters Celebrating!

Last night all of us sisters (minus two) along with some of my nieces, were able to celebrate by doing a paint night together.  My sister Gay is cancer free which is definitely worth celebrating!  YEA GOD!  Gay and Joy just had birthday as well.  There are some in the family with artistic abilities but many of us are not artistically inclined.  However, it was such a fun night together as sisters and what a great way to make a memory together.  I am so richly blessed in having such amazing sisters who I loved spending time with!

Welcome Home Gavin!

Today was an exciting day as Gavin and Camille were able to come home from the hospital.  We were thrilled that Gavin had his first visit to our house.  Hopefully this is the first of many more visits.  :)  I can't stop marvelling at how perfect he is!  

Welcome to the World Gavin George!

Yesterday morning at 7:23 a.m. the Lord blessed our family with our 5th grandchild.  Seth and Camille are the proud parents of Gavin George Dyck.  He weighed in at 7 lbs 2 oz. and is 18 1/2 inches long.  He was born via c-section.  Camille is doing well, but I am sure she would appreciate your prayers for her recovery.  Gavin is such a little sweetie I could sit an hold him for hours.  Jeremiah and Aubrey enjoyed meeting Gavin and were so sweet with him.  How we thankful the Lord for this new life he has brought into our family and the privilege we have to be his grandparents.  

Seizing the Moment

With our family being so spread out we truly enjoy all the times we can spend together.  Here are some random shots of our few days together.
