On Eagle's Wings

On Eagle's Wings
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:29-31

Weekend Recap, Grandparents' Day and Ninjas!

We were delighted to be invited
to Grandparents' Day 2018 with Kate!


#1 Grandpa and according to Kate,
spoiled by Nonnie!


Her little notes to us have made their home on the fridge now!

It was a fun time. We had lunch, visited, watched the 4th graders perform their folk dances and I even did the Cotton Eye Joe with Kate! And then, to our surprise, Kate asked informed us that we would be checking her out early from school and coming home with us! She did and we had a great visit with her the whole weekend and Saturday afternoon, her brother Jack joined us. 

Mom and Dad had a date to a boxing competition … 
fire department vs. the police department … 
Guns and Hoses facing off!
Can you guess who won? Firefighters rock!!!

After church on Saturday night, the gym was all set up for the Ninja course and the small gym with an obstacle course and bounce house for the little ones. And free food for everybody! 



This proved to be a more difficult course than the Ninja Warriors they are used to, but they still had fun and always like a challenge.

All in all, it was a lazy, rainy weekend. Sleeping late on Sunday morning, pancakes and bacon, and iPad time. Gee, I remember this.

Seems one day they're right there with you in the middle of everything … 

Now it's this!



Sweet!

Last, but not least, Kate shared with me how she was sick the week they had Daddy Daughter Dance and she was so disappointed to miss out. So Daddy took Kate on a special date.

Awww so much fun!! This will be the first year we will miss Grandparents day at school for a very long time. It just happens to be scheduled for the same day we are going away for a couple of days. Makes me very sad to miss... since our Jake will be in middle school next year and they do not have it in middle school. This would have been our last :-( Oh well. Lots of good memories from those we attended. Yours looks like so much fun. Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.

A special dad to take his daughter out on a special date. She looked lovely!

It does sound like you had a good weekend. Our Grandparent's Day at PCA isn't until Oct. 19, so we are looking forward to that. I heard/read several years ago that a girl gains her sense of self worth because of her relationship with her dad. It looks like Miss Kate is in good hands. That was such a sweet and sensitive thing for Dad to do.
