Silas loves superheroes–just in case you hadn’t noticed. And while superheroes, make-believe, and imagination are fun, the truth about Jesus is the most important thing we could teach our boys. Our church’s Kids4Truth Club is helping us do that. This month Silas began his adventure in the Discoverers class on Wednesday nights. Last night he… Read More Learning Truth
The desert summer heat isn’t over yet, but summer vacation is (at least for all those school kids). Here’s a little photo recap of some of the things we’ve been up to. We’ve been on the go so much this summer that it passed quickly this year–which was unusual. June was filled with swim lessons, vacation… Read More Keeping Busy This Summer
~by Silas My daddy had a birthday this week. He turned 33 and that’s really cool because 3 is my favorite number since I’m 3! Actually, I’m 3 1/2. Soon I’m going to be a teenager. Anyway, it was daddy’s birthday. Cooper and I gave him a Superman shirt. I love superheroes, so it was… Read More Daddy’s Birthday
Grandma’s a good sport. She got a lesson in “Grandma 101” (as my sister Charis put it) from Silas during her visit with us. Silas was just being his usual precocious self, but it was at Grandma’s expense! After helping Silas get cleaned up in the bathroom, Grandma put his dirty underwear in the “whites”… Read More Silas Says…
Even though I’m just 3 1/2, I went to my first Vacation Bible School a few weeks ago. My church was having a free VBS for kids, and the theme was Arrow Island. I got to be in the four and five year old class with Miss Roseanne. Miss Roseanne is a missionary to Haiti,… Read More My First VBS
It’s summer, and the triple digits won’t let us forget it. We had a mild May, and this heat has kind of taken me by surprise. We’re melting! At least it still cools down overnight, but that won’t last. Silas began the summer with swimming lessons at the Goodyear pool. Last summer, he was too… Read More Summer’s Here!
A friend once told me that she calls her children her “joy babies.” Children are treasures, and gifts from God. When God gave us Silas, so much joy entered our lives. What a thrill to find out we were pregnant, and announce it to Stephen. We were blessed to tell our parents and grandparents about… Read More My Joy Baby
Though it’s nearly a week late, I wanted to post our Easter picture. We actually got a picture of all four of us!Crossroad celebrated Christ’s resurrection with special music, Easter communion, and a dinner after the morning worship. The hope we have through Jesus Christ and His resurrection is worth celebrating every single day. After… Read More Easter Sunday
Silas was at his babysitter’s house last week. Connie was talking with Silas about the baseball on his shirt. Then she asked if he had been to a game at the ballpark. Silas replied, “Yes, I went to the ballpark, but that was before I had kids.” Too funny! I’m guessing he was remembering an… Read More The Gift of Family
This past Sunday was Silas’s first official time in Children’s Church. As a young church plant, Crossroad has had to be flexible with our service structure. We’ve offered a Children’s Church in the past, but recently, we haven’t had enough adult volunteers to adequately provide for a nursery and a children’s class. Now that Crossroad… Read More Grace is a Person
