So, poor Ranne and Toby. I've been taking some sweet baby pictures, but they older two are so busy on their own, I don't get many of them! Sweet Trey is dining fine at friends house while we house sit for them, our kitchen being still out of commission. I sealed the grout and we left so it could sit 48-hours without being walked on. Thankfully, our friends needed a sitter for their home and dogs.
The Student Center organized a trip to Gallup, NM for a mission trip over spring break. Five college-aged people joined the Schmille and Free families at a children's home to: install a French door in an office, paint an apartment/classroom, and paint a large art/math room. The CSC people also led morning devotionals for the christian school located at the home. We stayed in an empty cottage and were warmly welcomed by the church and staff there. It was definitely a good experience. I was VERY impressed with the integrity and work-ethic of those who came, not feeling embarrassed at all to admit we were there. You never know what kind of job some people will do with a paintbrush.
The boys enjoyed visiting the horse. Every time I pet him, he yawned.
This is the group. They spent nightly, much time developing the next day's morning devotion.
This kitchen work was done before we left for Gallup. More friends helped all day. Scott bought a new porcelain sink, weighing 160lbs, at least. YIKES! They're made out of cast iron. If you keep asking how far the kitchen is, this is it. There's MUCH work to do yet. Sigh. BUT, Scott and others are doing such a good, quality job. It'll be a joy to host people when it's done.

Pretty couple.
Wonderful kids. This was a birthday party hosted by a member of the local Gallup community. He comes once a month to put on a party with AWANA volunteers.

Oh, man. Trey is SO CUTE! Those feet... I just can't seem to get enough.
Good job on the work - in many forms!
Thank you so much for posting.
Wow...makes you just want to sqeeze and hug 'em.
By the way...that one photo of Trey's feet. See how he is placing the edge of his foot between his big toe and the next? That is my favorite foot posture when I go to sleep. I never do it intentionally but have noticed it a few times. Genes are a funny thing.
Gallup! Niiiice!! What a lovely adventure! Looks like a good time was had by all!
:) "Boom, Boom, Ain't It Great to Be Crazy?" just came on your blog; that was one of the kids' piano songs last week and I got online to sing to them every verse. It was new to them ... HOW DID I MISS SINGING THAT SONG TO THEM IN THEIR YOUNGER YEARS????? Oh, well, now they know it ... WELL ... and we had good laughs over its silliness.
The funny thing, Sunny, is that going through Walmart with Ranne, he and I were singing it together. A woman walked by and laughed quite hard at us. It is great to be crazy.
