**Because of our computer failing, in order to get winter-ish pictures, I had to go way back in the archives.  These were before Lydia did all the photography, or I was interested in everything macro.  :~)

Hope Landing {performance}

Last Thursday, we had the opportunity to perform for a very delightful audience at Hope Landing assisted living.  It was wonderfully fun to see the smiles on the resident's faces and get to know more people!  Thanks for inviting us Hope Landing staff!

"For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens." ~ Psalm 96:4-5

Sunny Day Performance!

 We had a lovely day to perform at Faith Community Church.

 Mirae thought it was lovely to crawl around outside.

 And Lydia thought it lovely to take pictures.....

 We had a lot of fun with the worship before we performed.

 Daddy preached.

After we finished, Pastor Jeff exhorted all of us children to make sure to thank our parents for passing on their values to us. 

Thank you, Mom and Dad!  We really appreciate all the work you do!  We know it isn't easy...

After the service there was a wonderful potluck.  There was so much delicious food!  And a salad bar...and soda....and dessert!  They even had cheesecake (my favorite!). 

This performance was special in that we got to see Maggie too.  She is our friend from TeenPact, and we don't see each other very much because she lives so far away.

 We passed around babies, but Mirae objected.  (Only when she was hungry.  Everyone else got to eat!)

 Little Thomas let me hold him for a while though.  Doesn't he have the cutest eyelashes?

Thank You Lord, for working through us!  Thank you for the wonderful weather, a wonderful meal, and a fun performance!

Fair Weather!

Last week, we performed for at a fair in the county next to ours...

We always enjoy talking to the audience......

And afterwards, we enjoyed the free admission to the fair.  Noela was particularly fond of her balloon!

The chicks at the petting zoo were darling! 

Several years ago, we hatched chicks, and these ones prompted, "Mama...can we hatch some chicks of our own again?!"

Overall, it was a long, hot, fun day!  Thank God for a wonderful performance and perfect weather!



After performing in Indiana, we headed to Homer, MI, where we had another performance scheduled.  We were staying at our Grandma's summer community.  She has a lovely little trailer that is on the tiny lake where she lives.

It was l.a.t.e. by the time we were on our way and driving, and everyone was tired.  Sometimes it is a trying job to be the navigator!  But we finally got to our destination and got to bed around 12:45 am. 

The next day however, the boys where up, bright and early to go fishing.  Lance especially loves fishing.  We couldn't get him to leave the dock even for meals!

Take a close look at his expression!  :~)  Isn't he cute?  He is a very serious fisherman!

Grant is a fountain of joy to those around him!

 Ellie had a wonderful time helping Penny out with meals!  She followed Penny around everywhere.  That is the highest complement you can get from Noela.

Good job, Noela!  (And a big "Thank You" to Penny.  We loved having you join us!)

Saturday night we had a family pow wow (or bonfire, if you are familiar with the BibleBee!)--we perform at churches, but this was really the first time we had taken an actual Sunday morning church service.  With a few touches here and there, we finally decided what to take out and what to add.

On Sunday morning, we all headed over to the church.  The group was a very nice audience, and it was a pleasure performing for them!

Then we headed home, thanking God for a wonderful weekend of performances!

We will be returning to this same community for a Fourth of July church service, so pray that their hearts would be open to the wonderful message of God's love and salvation!

Family time

Summer is finally here!  The pool is warming up, the dandelions are all fluffy, we have some performances coming up, Bible Bee is starting, and much more!  I am so thankful for warm weather!  We have a performance tomorrow, keep us in your prayers.

Juggling

                                                                                 Where are the balls!?

Just recently Grant has been working on juggling four balls.

Grant's juggling is a wonderful addition to our performances! He taught himself a few years ago and has only gotten better!  It is quite hard to get a good picture of someone juggling, but it was a fun challenge. 

Performance at a local church~

Our last performance was at a local church, the performance went wonderfully!  God always blesses us with the best audiences.  It is our calling to share the Gospel with others through Irish dancing, music, scripture recitation, and more.  We have a few upcoming performances, so keep us in your prayers as we prepare.

Stories~ The Giant's Causeway

Noela and Lance are wonderful helps when it comes to setting up and breaking down for shows!

What we've been doing...

Number one is practicing!  March is a busy ministry month for us, because we do Irish Step Dancing.  :~)  So practicing has been right at the top of our list.

 Taking pictures to use for promotional material.

And putting them together!

(Along with many other things!)
