Carl needed to run some errands and get the oil changed on the van. Jack went with and took his schoolwork along.

Big changes are happening here…more details to come, but keep our family in your prayers.

We were able to tell our story to well over 200 guests at the Minnesota Family Council event last Friday.

Renee is our MN based lawyer on our amazing legal team.

She gave me these two little notes during church. It is all worth it. It takes a community to raise a child.

Tonight I took a little one on one and straightened Ava’s hair. She was a chatty patty on the counter.

Grandpa and Grandma came and were rock stars for the week.

We love when former students text us out of the blue because they are in town. It turned into dinner and games.

• Teenpact was not what I expected. Honestly it was SO MUCH better than I thought it would be. Who wants to go to homeschool government camp for a week? But when I got there I met this group of lovely ladies. (There were four more girls that left early and did not make it into the picture.) Not only did I make some incredible new friends, the Teenpact staff was engaging and fun. • The classes were packed full of information and not only did I grow in my leadership skills but also in my relationship with God. • Because we were throughly outnumbered by the boys we all became closer than we would of had it been a bigger group. I am so thankful that I got to meet and hang with all these amazing women this week! • As someone who did not want to go to Teenpact, I would encourage you to go next year if you are on the fence. 😉 •  #teenpact #teenpact19 #governmentcamp#leadershipschool #newfriends
