11/11/15 Another week filled to the max.
Sunday we attended church in Ames, went out for lunch, and tried a connection
group at Hidden Acres in Dayton at the Graden’s home. We know most of the people in the group,
the Lamberts and the Graves being some of them. There are 23 kids between all
of the families. Kristen made pancakes, eggs, and bacon for everyone. Their
family also had a new addition, a giant African tortoise. The adults in our
connection group talked about raising the next generation. It was kind of
fitting as Mark and I were just discussing our kids and what things we need to
work on. I have three main things I want to model for our children so that they
will be Godly children and grow into Godly adults that love the Lord. 1.Love, 2.Give, and 3.Serve. They are very
basic, yet so crucial. As parents it is our goal to model the importance of
these things by "doing" and that is my goal! We need to improve on being that example.
Monday morning school day started with Jayden’s math
with Nancy. I drove, then we went on to Ames for the boys dentist appointments, then taekwondo. It
was such a nice day out in the 60’s, I was wishing I didn’t have to be stuck
indoors all day. Tuesday was morning school, then Jayden worked at Hidden
Acres. In the evening we all rode horses and the boys rode Eagle. Jake went on
a couple hour coon hunt with Tony and Cash. He was pretty excited when he got home telling us all about his night. They got a coon. It was a nice evening for them to go out with the weather not being too cold. Wednesday morning for school we
watched lots of You Tube videos about Veteran’s and did a neat Veteran’s Day
craft.
The weather was predicted to be stormy and it was a strange weather day. Jayden and I were on our way to get her driver’s license when the rain became so heavy she had me drive. Then it started to hail and lightning was super close. I made a U turn and ventured back home. We were under a tornado watch. Eerie as it is, 10 years ago tomorrow, was the Stratford tornado.
