Dear Family,
Bobby taught me yet a new game. It’s nice to spend time with him. I also enjoyed a walk, going out for a treat
and playing that game over and over to see if I could beat him again.
We had a great conversation with
Seth and he remains fabulous company. He
is growing and learning. I enjoy
watching him process life.
I enjoy singing and clapping with
the youth group. It is wholesome and
uplifting. I also was brought back to
our kids’ childhood when Bobby played Adriel’s song for a little – until Bobby
played a different tune in the middle of the song. I gave him an angry face which just makes him
laugh and tell me I’m working on wrinkles.
Celebrating 26 years of marriage
brings up how rich a history we have.
There are so many amazing stories and two delightful children we have
raised. How God has blessed us! We have lived thru so much and I feel like we
are only half done.
At youth group there were favorite
ice cream treats which were taken first.
A youth was kind of excited about stomping on the empty box. He jumped once and Bobby joked by saying, “Oh
no! There was still one in there!” The youth looked. Low and behold – there really was! This was exciting – the jumping had not
ruined the favorite – the treat was intact and the youth was happy. He said, “I wouldn’t have looked except you
said there was one!”
A favorite youth group quote was
during games. Sometimes the weird games
turn into a tumble. One fellow said, “I think I injured my self-esteem.”
Seth
enjoyed an artistic movie with us. He
liked the Sepia tone and an action sequence.
He said, “Wow that was done in one take.
This is impressive.” Then about 5
minutes later. ”OK, now they are just
showing off.” It cracks me up how he
went from impressed to annoyed so quickly.
At another time we were watching the new Star
Trek. When Spock said, “I find the best
way to reduce tension is to apply rigorous logic.” Seth had to quip, “You are not fun at
parties.”
Seth is now 19 years old. He is doing well in his College work. He continues to be a great church
custodian. He is wonderful company. I enjoy hearing him talk and delight in how
funny he is. When we have kids we
definitely meet our match. I was also
hard to raise up and train. The hard
work is worth it! When our kids grow up
we can watch them be their own person, have their own opinions and fly. I am so blessed to have children that I would
love to befriend. They are decent, wonderful
and amazing human beings. I am proud to
be their mom.
For Seth’s Birthday my parents came
down to wish him well, sing the birthday song and spend some time. They are great to talk with. Adriel joined us for a yummy lunch at the Golden
Crown. What fun to be together, share
wonderful food and enjoy.
I am thankful for our family. May you also be thankful for those you
love. May the amazing flowers popping up
everywhere give you joy. May you find
peace knowing how much you are loved.
Hugs,
Cristy
