Life goes on........

Our lives change so much, but in tiny bits at a time so sometimes we don't even notice.
We have been going to New Song Church in Bismarck since last Feb. It seems like yesterday, but has almost been a year. We are all fitting into our niches. I have started greeting new visitors, Leann and Tristen are in full swing with the youth group and Samantha is a huge help in the children department, she is in their group but likes to help, okay likes to be in charge! LOL Dan is still working up north 5 days a week comes home on his week ends. Life goes on.......

Leann is taking a break from boys for a year and entering into a serious relationship with Jesus....this girl, sorry young woman, is so full of the Spirit, she amazes me every day! She is working about 30-35 hours a week at a day care, actually our churches day care. It has been a huge opening in her life, new friends, new love for her work, she loves her kids, new opening in her heart for more Jesus! Been pretty amazing watching it all.

Tristen is growing leaps and bounds......he too amazes me every day. He loves to hang out with the youth group and never misses an event. He an Leann both went to a fall retreat, Face to Face, it was pretty life altering for both of them.

Samantha is well, wow! She is growing up to fast, my baby isn't a baby. Really hasn't been for a while,  but moms like to pretend sometimes! She is in the 4th grade and should be in the 5th if you ask me and her dad. She is smart as a whip and sometimes I just don't understand where she gets it from LOL.

All my kids are growing up and changing in so many ways, but Life goes on.......

Our church had their annual Trunk or Treat, we are patiently awaiting the results of who won for best trunk. They are making us wait until next Sunday. Seriously it doesn't matter. Dan and I were Smurfette and Papa Smurf, I decorated our van as the Smurf Village.....we felt like super stars.....parents wanted to take pictures of us an their kids and some just wanted us, it was a lot of fun! Tristen went and "no one" Leann was a hippie and Samantha was a mime, so together they were peace and quite. We all had a blast. Then all the volunteers were invited to a pool party yesterday after church. Which hanging out with all of our church family is always a blast. We think we should do it monthly! :)

Good night sleep well! :)
