in pieces

My God-daughter looked up at me awhile ago while skipping down the street and exclaimed that when she grew up she was going to be a "butterfly" and added "flutter flutter flutter flutter". I have a huge soft spot for butterflies. I haven't bought many things recently but the couple things that I did get might display some sort of a theme.

So our first 2 programs in MA were hugely successful! However we ARE TIRED!!! It's been 10 days of busyness and then a quick trip home to visit family and attend Jason and Blanca's wedding reception (see previous post) and then it was another 10 days of working with teams.

We start again Monday July 23. Our theme (as you can see from the top) is Lazarus Wake up Dead Man! from the scripture in t...

Jason and Blanca held their Canadian wedding reception this weekend in Kerrobert Leigh and I were able to attend Sarah came too! She drove out with Ariana. Leigh was asked to MC with David.

It was a great weekend of seeing friends and family again - just a bit too short! (*sigh)
