James Swim Lessons 2011

James had so much fun this year at swim lessons. He is doing so good. Ms. Dee said he is almost ready for the swim team.

John Michael Swimming Lessons 2011

Thanks to Ms. Dee John Michael finally went off the diving board. He loved it and we couldn't get him to stop jumping off board. Ms. Dee does a great job teaching children to swim.

What a Week!!!!

Our church just finished up a week of VBS. We had a great time and most importantly we had some children make decisions to follow Christ. Mrs. Tammy & Mrs. Danna did a great job directing VBS. We had our celebration of VBS on Friday night the children and parents had a blast. Thank you Lord for allowing us to plant seeds and some seeds bloom.

Jay got a call on Sat that his Grandma Rosen passed away. She was 96 and just a few weeks from her 97th bday. She lived a long, good life. We are thankful the boys had the chance to know her. She was actually able to attend their bday party in March.

I can't believe that school will be starting back in a few weeks. My how the summer has gone fast. The boys are excited and James keeps asking "when is it going to be August?" I told him just wait there will be a day when you say "oh mom it is August already". I am thankful he loves school.

I am excited about all the Lord is doing in our family. Waiting on his timing and plan about our adopting a little girl. Please join us in prayer about this matter, that we will follow God's leading and not our own.

Been Awhile

Well, I know it has been forever since I last posted. We are enjoying our summer break which seems to be coming to an end sooner than we wished. The boys had swim lessons and are doing great. They are loving gymnastics and have come a long way in their class. I am so proud of them. James is getting ready for 1st grade, he keeps asking "when is going to be August". I told him there will be a day when he will not be asking me that. They have both been going to a summer camp two days a week. I have been catching up on some reading, trying to scrapbook and enjoying being home with the boys. We enjoyed a visit from nanny and pops(my parents) over the 4th of July weekend. We went to Cades Cove and saw 2 black bears, deer, had a picnic and played mini golf. John Michael decided the 4th was not exciting enough so while at Aunt Bev's house he fell and busted his lip, so we went to the ER. After a stitch we got to come home and he was right back at it full force. He is ALL boy for sure. The boys have been to 2 VBS this summer and we are getting ready to have our VBS at HBC on Sunday. We have started visiting the nursing homes in town, the people love to see the boys come in and the boys have had fun playing jingo with them. Jay and I are leaving this afternoon with 18 others from HBC headed to Jr. Camp Thursday - Sunday, then we start VBS on Sunday night. We love working with the children and they are a blessing to us.

Jay has been busy with work and getting ready to start work on his disortation. I am so proud of how hard he has worked and getting praying for strength for him to finish strong.
I guess that about catches you up on the Rosen life. I will try to do more posting later.
