Starting June off Right

Last night Suise Luchsinger came to perform in our small town. I know many of you are wondering "Who is Susie Luchsinger?" She is a country gospel singer with an incredible amount of talent. She was born Susie McEntire, and has a sister named Reba who allegedly has some musical talent as well. During the show she shared her faith and testimony, and asked others in the crowd to do the same. We enjoyed the show and our daughters did their best to dance while the music was playing. It was a great chance for members of the community to get out and visit with one another, for kids to run and play, and just to enjoy the music. www.susieluchsinger.com


Since I'm slowed down by my current injury it has allowed me more time with my kids. I wasn't able to work yesterday, but I did figure out how to get into my truck and drive. With that figured out I took Grace and Isaac to the playground at the school. I sat down on the playground, and watched them play. They had a good time, and got along well (which they don't always do at home). I was supposed to help with a neighbors' branding today, but with my leg in a brace I figured it would be hard to flank calves. Faith, Isaac, and I went over for the dinner, so they could play with their friends. After dinner Faith wanted to go to the corrals to see the newly branded calves before they got sorted off to different pastures. They got their first view of a rattlesnake at the corrals. They climbed on fences, and played at the corrals until their friends left for nap time. Once their friends left, Isaac decided it was time for us to go too.

Grace, Faith, and Isacc have been excellent assitants the last couple days. They do everything from bringing food and drink to helping me put on my boots. Sometimes they aren't quite sure how to do things, but they try very hard and are very thoughtful. As parents we are blessed to have such wonderful children.

Our daughter Hope continues to grow and thrive. She has developed a very strong personality, which probably goes with having to overcome such adverse circumstances at the beginning of her life. She has discovered Elmo on Sesame Street, and is enthralled whenever Elmo is on TV. We pray constantly that she will continue to do well, and we give praise constantly that she has done so well thus far.

They that hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar as with eagles' wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.
Isaiah 40:31 (NAB)
