Got our van back!

The body shop called and surprised me, they were done fixing the $5,700 worth of damages done to the van! It looks as good as new. Hope it stays that way for a long time.
The only thing, they forgot about our front license plate...no holes drilled or a license plate to be found. Scott called the body shop and they said it came in with no bumper, or license plate and the tow truck said they delivered the van with a bumper(not sure about a license plate??...no matter, we had to go and stand in line and get replacement license plates. What a hassle, BUT I am happy to have our van back.

DD's Van Accident

Last night DD was in a van accident...her first, coming home from work.
She is fine, just shaken up...she got out of her van to ask the women if she was okay....and the women went off and was upset and saying that she was such a good driver. The woman didn't ask our DD once if she was okay.
The woman was going south and DD was going north when the lady turned left and didn't see DD due to a bus in the lane between them also going the same direction as DD. Neither airbag deployed. Thankfully, that both were not hurt. The policeman said the woman was at fault...but we have to wait till the report to be ready...not till Friday.

Oldest DS moving back home!

DS has decided to move back in with us, so he can save some money... we are thrilled.
Middle DS was HAPPY to move back in with younger DS, so oldest DS could have his old room back. The brothers and DS's fiance moved everything the past couple of nights...he slept here last night. Its great to get hugs from him again and seeing him every day! His wedding will be here before we know it!

Big weekend for our Youth!

Our youth at church every year get the opportunity to run the whole church service and this was their weekend. It was a wonderful time of seeing them open up and share their talents for the Lord.
Our youngest here is 13yo and was the *preacher* for three services: and our middle son, was the drummer for the Praise band and he also did a skit.
Seems all our kids were involved...our oldest son organized the praise team and had them practicing for the past several Saturdays. He also was in the skit with his fiance here:

Our dear daughter ran the slides for the worship.
It was a great Sunday worshiping the Lord together.
