Friday night we ALL went to see Steven Curtis Chapman in Lakeland. We had soo much fun as a family. Steve and I could focus ALL our attention on the kids...we weren't in charge, weren't organizing, weren't planning...just enjoying and they loved the attention. One of the best moments of the night was when SCC sang the song Cinderella. It's a 'Butterfly Kisses' type song with a little girl asking her daddy to dance. Here's the chorus...
"So I will dance with Cinderella While she is here in my arms' Cause I know something the prince never knew Oh I will dance with Cinderella I don't wanna miss even one song, Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight And she'll be gone"
Here's a picture of Steve, holding his Cinderellas while they sang thier hearts out! Daddy had quite a few tears fallen...so Kirsten got a little teary too.
Sammy loved the show and asked if he and Daddy could play their guitars on stage when he got bigger. Cant wait!
On Saturday morning the girls cheered on the First Baptist Church basketball teams. They started out a bit timid and quiet, but quickly got in the 'spirit' of the game. They were tooo cute! Naturals!
Rachel, friend from church, are on Team B and Katy is on a different squad with her friends Michaela and Sarah!
Like I said, it was a memory making weekend.
Update on Mathew:
Tuesday is Mathew's service. Steve is singing a Steven Curtis Chapman song (imagine that) called "With Hope". Please pray for Karen, Mat and Andrew.
This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again
And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...
We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...
So we can cry with hope
And say goodbye with hope
We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope
