We had a great day at church, but we had even more fun in K-5 Children’s Church. We started a new Elevate series called “Zooplosion”, and for the next 8 weeks, we’ll be exploring God’s kingdom through the eyes of the animals.
I’ll have to say that I’m totally not a creative person, but I’m getting [...]

Small Firsts…..
Posted in Uncategorized on March 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Tonite was a night of “small” firsts for both me and Lonnie. Not about a first time for something, but more about doing something ‘again’ for the first time. The funny thing was that we both realized it, and announced it at the same time.
My first was cooking a meal — a real meal. A [...]
It’s Good to be home…..

…well, not really. But duty calls, and Lonnie and I have to work the rest of the week. We had an awesome time up at the cabin. We did not do too much, and just enjoyed some down time. Time to refresh our minds and spirits. The boys had fun with their new dirtbikes, and we [...]
Pure Sweetness…..

I’m really blessed to have the opportunity tonite to take the dogs for a walk — just me and Kyle. Daddy was already snoozing, as he has not had much sleep in the past couple of days.
Just some really good Mommy/Son time. It is so surreal when you are in a place of complete quiet, with [...]

Wow — What a GREAT day. We were still coming off the “high” of the Easter Egg Hunt yesterday. What a joyous day celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus ~~ providing salvation for everyone who is willing to accept it — what a wonderful gift.
We had lots of visitors at church today…that was GREAT. We had [...]

Double post today….combining posts as it’s been a BUSY day, and the Bateman clan is all tired. We need to rest up and get ready for our K-5 Easter party (twice) tomorrow at church.
Our 7th Annual Easter Egg Hunt was today. The weather could not have been better. The turnout was AWESOME. The event organizers and [...]

Friday is going to be exceptionally GOOD this week..! Why? Let me tell you why. I get a full, 8-hour dose of pure therapy from my most favorite little man in the whole world ~~ David Mizera. And I have him all to my self. David’s daycare is closed on Friday, so I’m so happy [...]
Being Tested….?
Posted in Uncategorized on March 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Ever feel like God is testing you? Seeing how you’ll react to different situations? Checking to see how your doing with that patience that you’ve been praying for? I’ve felt like that this week (and it’s only Tuesday). It’s been small stuff, and I know we should not sweat the small stuff, but it’s caused [...]
Shy?

I have a feeling that my blog is out there for my “peeps” to read, which is fine. I started this blog a couple of weeks back and initally only shared it with 3 people ~~ Lonnie, Aunt Sharon and Patty. I just needed to ‘get my feet wet’, and see how things progressed. Most [...]
A Tribe….

In hindsight, it just amazes me that Lonnie and I don’t have a “pile” of kids. Everything we both do revolves around kids. Lonnie loves the heck out of hundreds of kids every week, and visits dozens of them every day for lunch at their elementary schools. But, you know ~~ the more I think about [...]
