Swimming, Pizza, Shopping and Hugs!!!!!!

We were trying to get the new Wiggles movie to work on the computer
Maddie, old toys are like new ones...go figure
Victor who was not tired after the day at the pool:) Maddie too
A day of swimming with Victor and Maddie was so much fun..We stopped by Grans and took her to McDonalds with us. Later Victor and I took Mom with us to the Pizza Hutt. The kids have so much fun with Mom. Even more fun when we go to the Walmart to get a much deserved "prize" for being so good. We came home, watched the Wiggles, read books and crashed with hugs, kisses and prayers.....at MIDNIGHT!!! Oh well, the priviledge of grandparenting. My dad always said, "If spoiling them is loving them, it's ok." They are surely loved!

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
