Sophie is down for her nap, Abby is crafting and Dawson is reading a book. All is quiet for awhile and I thought I'd take a break to catch up my blog. Life has been busy and we're still adjusting to our new schedules. Everything is good, it's just different. Baseball season has pretty much taken over our life for the time being but I really love it! Dawson had three games this week and did so great! Our first two games this week, the temperatures were in the 80's and last night's was freezing. Crazy spring sports! The girls and I got a great parking spot and watched from the car. It was funny because the girls kept asking me who I was yelling at whenever I cheered. Dawson was 3 for 4 last night with an RBI so it was a fun one to watch!
We also had the Awana grand prix this week. Dana spent some late nights with Joe painting cars and getting the kids' cars ready. I'll add pictures soon but they turned out pretty cute. Dawson's was a Mountain Dew car and Abby's was Supergirl. There was a three way tie for the last spot for the championship race and both Dawson and Abby were in it. I couldn't believe it! They took it pretty well and I think it worked out when they both lost. Dawson ended up getting a 3rd place trophy for design so he was super happy about that.
Another change around here is that Dana has agreed to stay on at our church as the part time youth pastor until they hire someone. They want to take things slow and not rush into it. We were actually very surprised when they offered it to Dana and also very grateful that the Lord answered our prayers that the youth group would be taken care of. Surprisingly it wasn't a hard decision to make, it just felt right. And since then, there have been some really positive things happening that confirmed that the Lord wanted Dana to stay for now. It will definitely make things a little busier around here but we know it's what God wants so we're going to make it work! Ok, I'm off to take advantage of the quiet around here...hope to be back soon with pictures!
Wow, it does sound like you have been busy! Hopefully the weather will warm up and you won't have to watch baseball games from the car anymore.

That is alot of baseball, something I have to look forward to in the years to come. Glad to hear that you are seeing God guide you and Dana with the youth group and pray that he will continue to reveal his plans for you.
