We went to church.  It was Celebration Sunday with many becoming new members, 3 baby dedications, and 3 baptisms.  We were so happy Evan got baptized and were so proud of him for making that choice on his own.  They had cake to celebrate after church.  We went to Melissa and Bruces to celebrate Evan's baptism after church.  Melissa and Bruce gave Evan a leather youth Bible and we gave him a kid's Action Bible.  Charlie and Sue gave him a card with money.  Our family was all there, except Kenzie.  Charlie and Sue came too.  Evan's middle name is named after Charlie.  Bruce and Melissa had a delicious lunch for us....sloppy joes,  a yummy dish Bruce made up of cut up veggies, chips and dip, chicken salad, and the grand finale...Delicious Strawberry Shortcake.  The kids all had a great time together and so did we adults.  Bill and I had to leave for a while, to go to CMA National Day of Prayer at the fire station next to our church.  We had 15 from our Faith Rider's group come pray.  We went back to Melissa and Bruce's afterward, and Jared, Bruce, Bill and Charlie played 3 games of Euchre.  We came home and watched a movie.  Such a great day and a great celebration.  It was Kody's Birthday today, but we couldn't go to his party as it was cancelled because DJ has the flu.  We will go celebrate with him when everyone is healthy.  Yay!  Tomorrow is Eli's Birthday!  He will be double digits now...the big 10.

I took Max, Jack, Evan and Hailey to school.  I went to Jacks after that and got lettuce and bacon bits for our salad we were making at Kimmy's later.  I went and took Melissa to therapy.  Vikki, Peyton, Diamond, Issac and I went to Kimmy's.  They had the day off from school today.  Kimmy's boys had a half day.  We had a great time at Kimmy's.  Some of the kids ate pizza for lunch and some had salad with us.  The salad was delicious with everything you could want in a salad, plus yummy chicken Vikki made.  The kids had fun playing outside even though it was really cold out.  They also liked holding the sheep and chickens....(Well Diamond was afraid of the chickens, but got a little more used to them while there).  They played with foam blocks and magnetics.  We came home and Bill and I went to the Fun Fair at Bethlehem.  We met Melissa, Bruce and the kids there.  We ate and then had lots of fun!  Came home and watched the movie "Thief in the Night"

Started going through old pictures to get them organized.  Melissa's kids and Vikki's kids didn't have school because of icy roads. It was so windy and cold this morning.  Our road was a sheet of ice from the wind blowing the snow across the road.  I picked up Hailey and took pictures of the boys when I went in.  Evan was so sweet, and shoveled the sidewalk and then shoveled almost the whole driveway for me.  He heard I was coming.  That was so sweet of him.  My feet sure stayed dry.  Sure love that sweetie! Hailey and I went to Coco Loco's for lunch..  We had such a nice time talking and enjoyed the yummy food.  We tried to call Kimmy, but she didn't answer, so I sent her a text.  Hailey really wanted to go to her house to see the new lambs and, of course, Aunt Kimmy too!  We went to Penney's and walked around after we ate so we could pass time and see if Kimmy would call us back.  We took pop cans at Meijer's.  There bottle and can return is our favorite.  We were heading to take Hailey home, when Kimmy called.  After we finished talking, we headed to see Kimmy and the lambs.  We had fun and took lots of pictures.  

Hailey hadn't been there since Kimmy and Jared did all the work on the house, so she loved seeing the changes.  We stayed for a little while, then we left and I dropped Hailey off to spend time with some of her friends in Saginaw.  What a fun day with her.  I came home, took a short nap, and then Bill and I went to the Rescue Mission.  Wes, Gayla and Isaac were there from Faith Riders too.  We showed the movie Overcomer.  Small group tonight but the ones that were there liked the movie.

Wed., 2/26/2020...Walked, Melissa had therapy, Made another yummy meal in air roaster

Chicken, potatoes, carrots, green peppers in teriyaki sauce air roasting

Bill eating

It turned out delicious...nice and browned and tender

It was snowy and slippery out this morning.  Bill and Charlie went to Caro to pick up baked goods from a friend's church.  An Amish lady bakes stuff to sell.  They called and were told it was still ok to come, but when they got there no one was there.  He called the person again, but didn't get any explanation.  Caro got lots more snow than we did...would have been nice if they would have gotten a call to turn around because no one would be there.  I took Melissa to therapy.  My car almost slid into Midland Rd when it wouldn't stop.  Thank you Lord it did stop in time.  I came home and walked 2 1/4 miles.  Bill got home safely.  We pulled our refrigerator out and cleaned behind it and under it.  Read my Bible and did my devotion.  Made a new recipe in the air roaster.

I used my chopper and cut up carrots, potatoes, then put cut up chicken and green peppers in it and stirred in Teriyaki sauce in it.  Put it in the air roaster for 30 minutes and it all came out browned and delicious.  Cleanup is so quick.  We both read on our books in the evening.
