Our citizenship is in heaven

12:20am on Palm Sunday 2022, my godmother and aunt, Deb, took her final breath here on earth and joined her loved ones in heaven – including our sweet Astrid.

My SIL was one of a handful of people who knew that my aunt was in her last days and had been praying for her and our family. After telling Bri of Deb’s passing, she shared the verse from Philippians that clearly God keeps putting in my life.

It’s the same verse we put on Astrid’s marker and that I wrote on our sanctuary floor not once, but twice.

Plasma car

Had some fun on my kids’ plasma car. I needed some help up the sidewalk 😆

Bad Axe

Part of Shecklet #2’s birthday present from Aunt Larissa was a trip to Bad Axe for some axe throwing. They reserved a lane that held enough people to bring Grandpa Dave, Jake, and Shecklet #1 along, too. It looked like a lot of fun. I want to join them next time!

Biking with Aunt Larissa

Aunt Larissa took Shecklet #4 on a bike ride this afternoon. They went to the “big park” and #4 played on some of the equipment for a little while before they biked home. Chilly ride, but glad they got some fresh air.

Father/Daughter Dance 2022

The Handmaidens of the Lord group that Shecklet #3 is part of planned and hosted a father/daughter dance for the 3-12th grade young ladies and their dads/father figures. Shecklets #3 & #4 accompanied their dad to the event. Shecklet #3 also invited a friend of hers from school to bring her dad too, which she did.

Shecklet #1 was asked to be the DJ for the event and was definitely in his element. He did a great job keeping the music going – because you can’t have a dance without music!

HBD #14 to Shecklet #2

Shecklet #2 celebrated his birthday mid-week this year. His dinner request was homemade mac-n-cheese and key lime pie for dessert (which was not homemade.)

He received some of his favorite snacks, (including some from one of his science teacher & her daughter,) a new pillow, and a book with the photos and blog content his Aunt Bri wrote after his trip to Lake Tahoe last summer. (I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.)

To top things off, his godmother stopped by to greet him and deliver a gift.

I might repost this blog post each year, while adding to the photo collage of the many faces of this kid. It’s just too much fun to not share again!

To continue his celebration, he hung out with a few of his friends on the 26th. They had pizza, played video games, ping pong, and Kids Against Maturity (a gift from one of his buddies.) 14 seems to be off to a lively start for him!

Final ski day of 2022 ⛷

Not much snow left, but they are going to give Trollhaugen one last try for the season.

Shecklet #2 did the waterskipping competition again this year. He went all out and donned his party shirt for the occasion.

You can also watch his entire run:

On the slopes again ⛷

Another day of skiing for some of the Shecklets and their dad. Shecklet #3 has given skiing a try and likes it. Shecklet #2 brought his friend along for the day. It sounds like warmer temps are on the way, so it might be their last day out of the season.

The hairnets are compliments of FMSC. We picked meals with our Saints Yes! kids from church this morning.
