A Full Week . . .

Tuesday . . .


We celebrated 43 years of loving our Bethany at Upper Crust.

Early in the week . . . 
Jack and Sydney are definitely the outside duo. The two of them invent all sorts of games and competitions just like their Momma and Uncle Marshall did. 
  The other day I discovered them jumping on their trampoline wearing their roller blades.  

Friday was Western Day at Oakdale School.
Charlie taught us all he had learned about the OK Land Run that day.



  

Friday afternoon . . .
we got a call from Marshall that Calvin had been taken to the ER by ambulance unresponsive- having had a seizure.  We rushed to Edmond and picked up Clara and Calvin from a neighbor and were soon met by Katie and Marshall and Calvin returning from OU Children's Hospital. 

Prayers were storming Heaven all afternoon. God answered these prayers in a powerful way!


The Tulsa cousins were all pulling for Calvin!



Calvin began to rally in the ambulance and soon after at the hospital began talking and was soon sitting up eating a popcycle.


Saturday . . . 
Mat and Bethany celebrated 17 years of marriage and we all got to watch the girls play LaCrosse in Edmond with Aunt Katie and the kids coming to watch.




On Sunday . . . 
Sydney rang the bell at Camp Kanakuk last summer signifying that she wanted to give her life to Jesus, and since that time she has been planning her baptism.

  It was a special time for our family as both sets of grandparents, with Aunt Katie & the cousins all there to witness Sydney's new birth. (Uncle Marshall was on call).


As she came to sit beside me for the remainder of service, I asked Sydney to to write what she was feeling at this special moment.  She asked - "do you want me to write or draw?"  I said - "either".  We
thought she expressed the whole of the Gospel message in a very insightful way.

Bethany and Mat hosted Brunch at Cedar Ridge and we enjoyed Jim's smoked ribs on Sunday Evening at Jim and Jan's.
