Open House 2010

Where's Waldo?  I'll give you a hint.  She's really cute and she's wearing a blue denim dress.

Here's the graduating first grader with her teacher and a future first grader.  Hannah has had a great year at school.  It is such a joy to watch her learn and grow.  We are very proud of her.

Watch Out Rocky, Here Comes Jerry!

Jerry has been learning to box at the local Sheriff's Activity League.  He really likes it and is so proud of his accomplishments.  Last month the SAL had an open house where we could go tour the facility and watch him spar with his coach.  It was really fun to see what he has been working so hard on.

Flea Olypmics - 2010

Hannah managed 59 sit ups at the Flea Olympics this year.  She was trying to beat another little boy in her group.  She missed it by one, but still...you go girl!

Kiddie Kollege Mother's Day Tea

Kiddie Kollege moms and grandmas were treated to cookies, tea and a fashion show for Mother's Day.  It was a fun time for all of us and I came home with two hand drawn pictures of me and the special flowers the girls are holding.

A Trip to Colorado and a New Niece

Last week I had the privilege of going to Colorado for a Leadership Training Conference for Community Bible Study.  It was a great time learning about my new duties as Class Coordinator for our local class and meeting some fantastic ladies from all over the Country.  Here is a picture of a few of my California Coordinator buddies.  We had a great time getting to know each other.

We look pretty happy about being attacked by that bear don't we?

Instead of coming straight home after the conference, I stopped off in Fresno to meet my new niece, Sydney Rose. 

She's so cute and tiny and she has that really yummy new baby smell.  I think I will need to hold her and smell her again very soon.

We're a Family of 6!

About a month ago, we went from being a family 5 to a family of 6.  The newest member of our family is a 16 year old high school student named Jerry.  He's a great kid and we love him a lot. 

We've been learning lots of new things from each other.  For example...

  Sarah is learning to box and...

Jerry is learning to play in the ocean.

Jerry is a gift to our family and we are so thankful that God made a home for him here with us.  It is our prayer that Jerry will continue to pursue a home for his heart with Jesus.  

"Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds - his name is the Lord - and rejoice before him.  A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."  (Psalm 68:4-5)

All four Cobb kids on Easter morning!

Easter People

Regarding the lives of Christians, Barbara Johnson says this...
"We're Easter people living in a Good Friday world." 

May the hope of Easter fill your hearts today and always.
