Safe Travels

 Braelyn needed to be at Louisville Slugger at 7:15 am but the roads were snow covered so we didn't get there until 7:17 am. We were about the only car on the road at that hour. I am so thankful for snow tires. I really had no problem. I was back home in plenty of time to make breakfast and get ready for church. Below is a picture of Interstate 474. Just one lane was plowed. 

We didn't get a lot of snow but the wind was blowing the snow over the roads as quick as the plows could clean it off.  Darrin Plattner from the Champaign church was visiting today and had the morning message on building on the rock and not on sinking sand. It was a good message. Click HERE if you would like to watch it. Dean and Teresa served lunch and it was a perfect lunch for such a cold snowy morning. They served chili plus hotdogs and lots of other goodies. 
Nancy was pretty pleased with her Sunday school paper today and was showing everyone. Below she is showing it to Bill.
The afternoon was a special message introducing the babies and their families born in 2025. Click HERE if you would like to watch that. Marshall and Jan Heinold were there as they are the great grand parents of Caleb and Kristin's children. As soon as I got home from church I started chopping vegetables for the stir fry planed for supper tonight. Once the vegetables were chopped it was time to chop chicken. The egg rolls were placed in the oven, the rice was simmering on the stove and by 4:00 pm all was done. Mark helped load it into his car, then walked over to the barn while I took the car over to pick up Braelyn. She helped with the unloading. Gail had given us a package of fun craft supplies and as soon as Sarah's girls walked in they were hooked. They started right in building things.
They had to quit while we ate.
Supper was just a few minutes late. Brett had the prayer tonight so his family got to go first.
The food was well received.


After supper the girls including Elisabet went right back to crafts.


I told her it was Eliana's grandma that gave them to us and she knew right away it was Gail. The boys went out to the gym to play basketball and soon the girls joined in. Sarah was watching Jack and the little girls had so much fun pulling Jack and Micah around on the 2 ponies.
We finally heard from Phil and Anna. Kensley's team won the entire tournament. They were 14 wins and 0 losses.
Kensley was given an award for being top player.
The video below was taken by the organizers of the tournament and was of one of the games yesterday. They were impressed with the teamwork on the Farmer's team.

Thankful for a warm church, for a warm barn, and thankful for safe travels to and from both.
