Blog update...sorry for the delay!

Wow! I knew it had been awhile since I blogged, but didn't realize it had been over 2 months!!

This time of year is really the craziest for me as we gear up for Extreme Week and all the things that we plan to launch in the Fall.

Let's see if I can recap the last two months...

Had a birthday.
E is now 8 months old!

She is walking the couch and getting very brave and letting go. She takes steps when I hold her hand and walk with her. She has had several ear infections due to the teething. She now has 2 bottom teeth and a 3rd possibly coming in soon. Currently, she has strep throat and a double ear infection. The Dr. isn't talking about putting in tubes just yet. She wants to wait until the majority of her teeth come in.

She is talking up a storm! She says Mama and Dada and knows that means us. We have started working on baby sign language and of course in true Daddy fashion, our first sign is the sign for eat! She is eating third stage foods now and yogurt. So far, she is doing really well with the yogurt, despite the fact that she is on soy formula due to a reaction to milk based formula when she was a newborn. So, we think that she has outgrown the allergy. Thank goodness!

Our work world is keeping us both on our toes as always. Our recent event for the kids and their families served 200 kids! We had 175 faithful volunteers and the week was a huge success! Of course my friend from Texas was gracious enough to come down and be a part. Steph co wrote the drama and she plays a mean electric guitar! She also acts as my eyes and ears and helps me in so many ways. Shaun and I are blessed to have her as part of our crazy family!

We invite the kids to attend the weekend services with their families as a way to connect the families to the church and let the kids be a part of the weekend services. This weekend was the third largest weekend in our history! Falling just behind our Easter services in attendance! That is awesome news because it means that our goal for outreach was accomplished!

Shaun is preaching the service the next two weekends and begins our series on doctrine, what we believe. Should be a great series! And then onto the launch of our Community and Social network, the City. More to come on that later;-)

I will try to post picts and video later...but for now off to tend to a sweet baby!
