Since my sister didn't live too far from there, David and I drove to visit her and her girls
one day and we all went to the zoo!
David's not too sure what to think of this train ride at the zoo!
Later that week, we met up with my sister Becki and her husband Paul again in KC, Missouri.
Paul took photos of us for our new cd cover! Then we enjoyed AMAZING, HUGE pizza slices at Pizza 51!
The day before Mother's Day, I spoke at a mother/daughter luncheon at
Harvest Baptist Church in Manhattan, KS. They gave me this special "Sundae" made up of
"kisses & snickers"...get it? Now that I'm a mom, I get lots of kisses and snickers from my little boy ;) Cute, huh?
Beautiful table decorations!
They decorated the podium really nicely too!
Delicious "feminine food" - Chicken salad on crescent rolls, veggies, etc...and for dessert?
Make-your-own parfaits! With yogurt, granola, chocolate chips (because though we desire to be healthy,
every woman loves a little chocolate!), berries, slivered almonds....it was super creative and amazingly delicious!
My first "real" mother's day! :)
Caleb actually had David "hold" the pen and write this note in my Mother's Day card!
Caleb preaching at Harvest Baptist Church on Mother's Day.
With new friends, Cherith Henderson (the pastor's daughter) and Lydia Berry.
The day after Mother's Day, we woke up at 1:45 am to get to the airport for our flight to Detroit.
From Detroit, Caleb flew to the Philippines and David and I flew to NYC! This was David's FIRST plane ride!
He was so tired he slept the whole time ;)
The following few photos are of Caleb's trip...
Caleb with some kids he met on the streets.
Riding in a trike!
Caleb led these two teen boys to the Lord one afternoon!
Caleb got to preach a dedication service for this young couple starting a church in a remote village.
The outside of their building
Singing "This Blessed Old Book"
Caleb actually sang quite a bit in the camp and churches he ministered in.
It was acapela, but they didn't mind!
Caleb taught this group of teens at a Christian Camp.
With more children out on the streets
They passed out many tracts and found that the people were very receptive!
Caleb preached at Christian Baptist Church in Santa Maria on Sunday morning.
Most of the children Caleb met on the streets were orphans.
On the plane ride home, Caleb was able to share the Gospel with this man sitting next to him and
he received Christ as his Savior!
While Caleb was in the Philippines, David and I were enjoying a special
10 days with my parents in New York City!
David loves his PopPop and Grandma!
David is cute ALL the time...but especially first thing in the morning :) Don't you think?
Visiting PopPop in his office at church!
It was SO much fun getting to play the piano in the church where I grew up! Brought back so many fun memories!
Sang in the service with my friends since childhood: Sheryl Samuel and Vladimir Vallejo!
That Sunday, we honored my parents for their 25 years of faithfulness at Faith Baptist Church
AND their 30 years of marriage!
It was such a wonderful day and I am so thankful I could be there for it!
On Monday, May 20, David turned 8 months old!!!!
Grandpa Garraway was in town and came over to see David one afternoon!
Fun at the park with Grandma!
He's gonna get all his sports knowledge from PopPop!
He loves swinging!
See that smile?! That is one happy boy right there!
On our last night at church, we got to sit down at the piano and play for fun before service started :)
Reunited at last!
A couple days after we got back to Kansas, we took David to the park and took his 8 month pictures!
All of us at the park
David sat in a restaurant high chair at the table with us for the first time!
On Sunday, May 26, we were with South Knollwood Baptist Church.
Caleb with his good friend, Pastor Jeremy Metsinger
Dinner at Red Robin with the Metsingers
Our final meeting of the "Spring Tour - Part 2" was at Bible Baptist Church in Dodge City, KS from May 29-June2.
God moved and worked in a mighty way! This photo was taken on Friday night.
One day, we got to tour the old fashioned town of Dodge City and the famous "Boot Hill" (where famous lawmen Wyatt Earp and others buried the outlaws they killed! The graves were dug quickly and were so shallow that the outlaws' boots poked through the soil! Thus the name "Boot Hill" was born!)
Final day of the Revival - Sunday. A young man trusted Christ after this service! Praise the Lord!!!
