Merge and more

Joe and I had the amazing opportunity to be involved in Merge (19 churches getting together at CHBC to worship our Lord and Savior) this weekend. I had 12 HS girls and 4 leaders at my house this weekend. It was great hanging out with these girls, having Bible Studies, and getting to know them more. On Saturday, we made spaghetti for the homeless at Angelic Ministries. We took the food there, worshipped with them, and then the students served them. I was so proud of our students Saturday. Joe and I missed Anna, but had a great weekend. Anna went to Kentucky with my parents. I think they had a great time with her. Joe and I were glad to have her back home last night! Here are pics from the weekend.

I love seeing students raising their hands in worship to our Savior!

CHBC students and leaders.

The High School girls.

Our students did a great job talking to the homeless during lunch!

Fixing the food.

Our students worshipping with the homeless.

Our sanctuary was filled Friday and Saturday night with 1,800+ high school and middle school students.

Anna still loves to see herself in the mirror!

Glad our baby is home!

Anna is pretty good at using a fork. I help put the food on the fork and she puts it in her mouth by herself!

Jaxson invited us over for a playdate today!

Isn't this a sweet pic of Anna and Jaxson looking at the snow?

I'm not sure I am ready for car dates.

Anna liked the snow today. (Our van is in the background!)

New sippy cup...she hated it at first, but likes it now!

Looks like you had a blast. I too was going to comment on Anna's hair. It is really long. Pretty soon it will be in pig tails.

Looks like an incredible weekend. What an awesome opportunity to minister with the students! I have to tell you...I'm so jealous of Anna's gorgeous hair. Anna Kate's is regressing into the faux hawk...WILL NOT LAY DOWN! :/ Oh well...Congrats on the van!
