These are the boys that stayed in our home





The house is much quieter now! The boys were very well-behaved and I think they had fun. Ian certainly enjoyed all of the extra attention - and now he's taking a long nap. God taught me a few lessons this weekend too - esp. about not sweating the "small stuff" and remembering that if we're willing to do what God asks of us, He will take care of all the details. It was good to be pushed outside of our comfort zone a little!

Here are the photos in the right direction - thanks to Jeremy

Can't always get Ian to look at the camera!

A house full of boys!

Guess what I did? I volunteered our house for a host home for a teen discipleship weekend sponsored by our church. That means that right now there are 9 seventh grade boys running around my house and yard! They have been pretty well-behaved so far. They arrived tonight about 6:00 and will be staying here until time for church on Sunday morning. As I'm writing this, I hear a discussion in the back yard about what would be the best thing to throw on the roof. Fortunately, they also came with an adult leader who is very closely supervising them.
