(Post from my former blog)

Again, our week was a mixture of joy and sadness. On Monday evening, one of the elders of our church passed away from a massive stroke. He served our church as an elder for 32 years. Mr. H. was a wonderful man, and his daughter is one of my friends (and my favorite boy's future mother-in-law). We are so saddened by this loss, but we rejoice that he is in Heaven. His family takes great comfort in this. We attended the visitation Thursday and the funeral Friday.

Thursday evening and Saturday were my favorite boy's two final games of his rookie baseball season. He enjoyed playing so much. After Saturday's game, the boys had a pizza party and got their trophies. My favorite boy is already making plans to play "in the fall, and then next spring, and then the next fall, and the next spring..." Here is a picture with his trophy.

Saturday evening, we headed to the park for a picnic/potluck with our church family. We do this monthly during the summer. Tonight, we honored our graduating seniors. It was nice to be together as a family for a lighthearted event after experiencing a sad loss together this week. We are so blessed to have our church family!
