This week in Iowa

This is Sarah Knerr playing the harp for our ladies' shower on Thursday night 

Tom is getting ready to do the evening dishes.  Thanks, wonderful hubby!

Oscar doesn't always like getting his picture taken.

This is Kayren having fun.  I like her new haircut!

Oscar wishes he could go a-wandering out the front door!

This week brings many busy things.  We are rebuilding our bathroom, and Lord willing, by the end of the week, it will be mostly working again!  Tomorrow, Lorien has a track meet and a project due.  Kyrie is working on the play most of this week, though her formal is this Friday!  She's very excited about that!  

The dryer guy is coming tomorrow to fix our new dryer that doesn't work.  Bummer.  

Lorien gets a haircut on Thursday, which is the same day of Tom's mother's surgery.  She is getting a benign tumor removed then.  

Tom is still working on his ecclesiology class as well as his Sunday school on the Life of David.  Church is so busy these days.  We had a shower for one of the ladies who had a son this past fall.  Sarah Knerr played her harp for it!.

Rodney is preaching on Romans in the morning, and the Christian home in the evening.  Several of the younger girls are starting to help out on the piano by playing the preludes.  Kyrie and Kayren are participating in this.  

We had a very nice service this evening.  The singing was so encouraging and the message was very good.  We enjoyed the Knerrs this afternoon.  John Knerr is leaving tomorrow on his motorcycle to go to California and work in a national park.  It will take him six days to get there!  We will miss having him with us!
