Summer

So long, summer!

It was a good one . . . one of the best, I would say, even though I spent it mostly in the car! 

The NW Midgets came in 2nd in the End of Season Tournament in a thriller of a Championship game. It was a good summer for these boys, as they were undefeated in their regular season.

Then came wheat harvest!

One night in August, I was treated to a concert by my youngest three. They spent the day making their CD covers and everything that goes with a concert.

Landen played in his first varsity football game the Friday before school started. 

The next day, we traveled to Minnesota to spend time with cousins and go to their church's planned Michael W. Smith Concert. Rain threatened the event all day and came within a mile or two, but God answered many prayers and it held off until after the concert. 

Jacob Daniel (above) was another singer we were looking forward to see that day. He is a friend of our friends in Sioux Falls and a youth pastor at his church. He has recorded a couple of CD's, and you can find his music on Amazon, too. :)

 Right before the concert, my sister-in-law Angela sent me these photos from backstage. 

Teresa was very excited to get to meet Michael W. Smith and get his autograph.

And with that, we left reminded that we have God to help us fight our battles as we prepared to enter another school year!
