Pasta

 Anna and Luke are doing a 30 hour famine (fasting) to raise money for World Vision.  I was in charge of making the 11 pounds of pasta for when they finish their fast on Saturday at noon.

They ate breakfast at 6am on Friday morning, and then had only juice/water all day.  Friday night they spent the night at church and then traveled down to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission to serve breakfast on Saturday morning. A huge lunch will be served at noon today.  I'm so proud of the sacrifices that they are making to bring awareness to hunger in our world!

Sunny, Warm & Cozy

  The days are pretty cool around here and the doggies have enjoyed laying in front of the patio doors! It's 38 degrees here this morning!

Scenery

 The lunar eclipse yesterday from our patio!

I snapped this photo last night after taking the kids to youth group- it was just gorgeous!  It's a pond down the road from us.

Popcorn eaters!

Birthday Party at Helium Trampoline Park!

 Anna celebrated with her friends at a trampoline park.  The park had trampolines, (of course) a rock wall to climb and foam pit to jump into and a dodge ball court.  Here are a few of the girls conquering the rock wall!

 Luke sat out due to an injury.  (sadface)

 Here they are jumping- trampolines on the walls too!

 Here's dare devil Ben doing a back flip....crazy guy!

 We opened presents...the brothers weren't at all interested.

 and ate cake.....an ice cream cake from D.Q.

A birthday wish...

The whole gang says "Happy Birthday, Grandpa Walt!!

Movin' right along...

 Our church is under going an 8 million dollar renovation.  The NEW, HUGE sanctuary is going up this week!  Construction is projected to be done by next Easter (crossing fingers!)
