The Notebook the Musical

One of Elyse’s closest friends joined us for the week while on college break. So we happened to have some tickets to “The Notebook” the musical and took the girls to it. It was a very enjoyable musical with some great humor throughout it. Fun and memorable night for sure. 

Fall Sports

This fall we were packed full watching Elyse and Maddie play volleyball, and Kallen and Ian play soccer.  Elyse has sadly decided it will probably be her last year which we fully support her. Maddie enjoyed the game a lot and wants to continue as of now. Kallen got moved up to high school JV and even sat with Varsity at the end of the season, needless to say he loves the game. Ian started playing defense and enjoyed year two more than he thought. Great fun season of sports!

Elyse Turns 17

Today Elyse turned 17! Every year I say how much she’s matured and how crazy it is that she’s another year; although, today it’s really hard as I know this is her last year of being a kid. We are very proud of her and honored to be her parents. In the past year, Elyse has matured more than any other year we’ve ever seen. God has created her to be full of joy, trust, and to devote herself to Him with all her heart.

She continues to do and love many similar things: worship, volleyball, friends, pickle ball, flowers, and baby pigs. 

Happy 17th Birthday, Elyse! 

Love you always

Maverick City Music Concert

Tonight Elyse asked her best friend, Miriam and us to celebrate her birthday with her early at one of her favorite Christian bands, Maverick City. The concert was an hour and a half of amazing worship. It was beautifully done and a great way to celebrate Elyse. Nothing brings us greater joy than watching our daughter walk and praise the Lord.
