The Nest Adoptions

The Nest home had two adoptions this month. Both boys were there when we served in 2013 and I remember them like I was there yesterday. Dwight was a bright eyed silly young boy with several of his front teeth coming in. He was Jayden's little buddy the day we all went to the beach. He had a fun and silly personality one you wouldnt easily forget.

March 2022 Nest family, we have an amazing update on a child you may know. If you’ve been to the Nest, you definitely will remember Raymion (Ray). He has been living at the Nest for over 10 years…and yesterday, he officially came home to his FOREVER family! Praise the Lord for everything He is doing for our children.

Since 2013, Raymion has been our sponsor child. We have given monthly to support him. Mark and I connected with him while serving at the Nest Home in 2013. He was the oldest child age 7 and stayed with all the little boys in a bunk room in the younger kid house. I remember him always wearing his Mario pajamas and loving to make crafts. He also loved to be in the water swimming. He was quiet and had a giant smile and beautiful eyes. One evening, I believe it was the night of Christmas, he came into the kitchen and helped Mark and I wash dishes. He told us he had never done that before. Him helping us wash dishes made a big impact on us.

Volleyball

Jake went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s Volleyball game in Coon Rapids. They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them. Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
