Happy Birthday Daddy!:)

Michael John Sebo

May 23, 1968

We are so blessed to have our dear Daddy! It has been such an encouragement and challenge as we watch him rise early every morning and go to work faithfully! Daddy is the "handy-man" around our home. He is good with his hands and very creative. He enjoys playing volleyball, softball, shooting, camping, spending time with his family and friends. He has worked at his company Panasonic for about 7 years now, and is our church's homeschool principal.

We are truly blessed to have such a special father! We love you Daddy! Happy Birthday!!

"Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the one who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:4-5

Kevin and Darleen's April Visit

Back in April, Kevin and Darleen Weston came out from Tennessee to visit!! It was so nice to see them and to finally meet their adorable little baby girl, Adelaide Weston!:)

Monday, we were invited to a beach party! (I didn't take any good pictures at the beach, sorry!)It was pretty cold but, some of our boys went swimming with the guys. Joshua and Natey preferred to play in the sand, and Mama, Emily and I had a nice time visiting. A few games were attempted but, it was quite windy.

We were orignally going to have dinner at the beach but, it got much too windy so Kevin announced that they would be eating dinner at the church. After a couple rounds of volleyball, we all got in the van and headed for church.

We had a great evening with Kevin, Darleen and Addie, playing games, talking and just relaxing.

Eating dinner...

Mommy and Baby

"Ready to eat, girls?"(I don't know what it was, but, we all were VERY hungry!)

After dinner, Mr. and Mr. Weston and Mrs. Munteanu tackled Dutch Blitz:)

......and of course the ping pong table got plenty of use;)

It was Katie's birthday, so I asked her for a birthday picture which she happily posed for!

While a ping pong game, Dutch Blitz Round, and frisbee were being played, some of us hung out in the nursery.

A little while later, I had the sole pleasure of holding Addie so Darleen could play some Dutch blitz!:) That was definitely the highlight of my evening!:)

It was so nice to have Kevin, Darleen and Addie out here for awhile and the time really flew by! We really enjoyed seeing them again and we are hoping to have another visit from them before too long! Praise the Lord for special times!

Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gated with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. Psalm 100:3-4
