Colter Baby Shower

Yesterday, we surprised our friends with a baby shower.  John & Shannen went with me to Kenya last year.  They have become very good friends, and they are adopting.  They are hoping to adopt an infant from the United States.  They are in the waiting phase, which can be so hard.  So, we decided to throw them a baby shower.  I invited all of the Kenya Mission team members.  I told them my idea ahead of time, but just told Joh and Shannen we were having a Kenya get-together.  They were so surprised and thankful.  I must admit, I had so much fun putting everything together.

I have always wanted to make a diaper cake!

"Pirates of the I Don't Care-ibbean" - Operetta 2019

Liam did a fantastic job performing in the Operetta!  He played a pirate.  He was quiet and timid during rehearsals, but finally found his voice and was nice and loud for the performances.  In addition to his speaking lines, he also got to dance to the "Pirate Chanty", which I choreographed.  It was the most fun dance, in my opinion.  The pirates for to sword fight during the dance.  It was a great show and definitely spread the Gospel.

Hard at practice

When he wasn't on stage, Liam was singing with the choir.

Liam's pal Brody played Captain Jack Cracker and did a great job.

Liam has really enjoyed having Miss Hockemeyer this year.  She is a phenomenal teacher!  I student tough with her 16 years ago and she has been my dear friend and encouraging colleague.  I am so thankful Liam had her fir his teacher this year.

Grandma & Grandpa Herman came to watch the show.

Isabelle Wellman, my former student, came to watch the show.  She babysits the kids when she is home from college.  She brought Liam a Purdue Basketball Jersey.
