Hey...Let's play chicken with the nerf guns!!

Stand with your hands out to the side!

Oh yeah, let's do it without a shirt on!

No flinching!

No hiding!

And no hitting in inappropriate places. 

We only heard that a few hundred times!!!

The WILDs Couples Conference

The renewed, refreshed and stuffed couple!

Our friends with us on the bridge in Cincinnati...one of our many stops on the way down!

Trying on shoes in the "Heels" store in downtown Lexington, KY. That was our overnight destination the first night.  What a precious time together with friends!! God is soo good to us.  The weather was outstanding and the messages on "Forgive. Forgiven" were just refreshing.  We were able to get re-acquainted with some friends and fellow pastors from long ago.  What a neat, neat experience.

Volleyball has taken over!

Time out and getting some advice from Coach.

In action.....

Allison is the setter on the team.  She is AMAZING if you ask this momma!!  She has spent much of the last 2 weeks traveling to Iowa and then to Hillsdale, MI for tournys.
