Exciting News!

Great news!!!  For all of you who have been following our updates and emails you know that we have been asking the Lord for some specific things this summer.  One of our desires was to make our home more kid-friendly and a welcome space for our nieces and nephews that are here frequently.  God blessed us in a big way and we are so thankful.

Another request that we've had is to buy a minivan that would better suit our families needs.  When we were transporting 5 kids, our Ford Focus just didn't make the cut.  To safely and legally take the kids places we had to get creative.  God provided money for us to buy a minivan and this week we found one that fit our needs!  Here she is:

This is not the actual van we bought, but it is a picture of the same model.  I don't have a picture of the outside of our van yet, so this is as close as I could get.  Here is a picture of the inside:

That's right, we broke her in this past weekend when our family went to Camp Greenlane with our church for a retreat!  We had a blast all weekend out in nature with another partner church.  From what I heard there were over 100 people from Cornerstone at the retreat for at least part of the weekend!!

There were a lot of outdoor activities!

This was our cabin (there were two more sets of bunk beds)

There was lots of down time to just catch up.

And Dante's birthday was on Sunday!!  Of course we had to embarrass him with a cake an loud singing!
