Saturday night, Chappy and I took our older three out for a "date night"; we try to take them out at least once or twice a month while leaving Charlie and Hopey with a sitter. Caleb, Lydia, and Natalie are good to help with our two little ones daily; to reward them, we plan "Big Kid Date Night" and do some things they enjoy. A local church raises money for missions by having a swing dance two weekends a month. The church offers a live big band, a good size dance floor, and dancing lessons, too! We attended last evening and danced from 7pm until 10pm and had a blast! Several students from the homeschool tutorial we are a part of attended the dance, so our kids had friends to dance with (and Chappy and I danced with each other). On the way home, Caleb asked: "Mom, where did you and dad learn all of those dance moves?"......Chappy and I laughed and laughed.....we've still got it!!!

I am so happy you have had such a joyful weekend. Chappy, have a wonderful, productive and safe trip. May God keep a hedge of protection around you as you travel and minister, and around your loved ones you are leaving behind. Melanie, may He give you all the wisdom, peace and energy you need to manage the two weeks Chappy will be gone. May the little ones stay out of trouble!! :o)
