Celebrations and a Concert

We went to a baby shower to celebrate Parker!

Parker's mommy is one of Allen's pharmacists and she has been on maternity leave.

The party was at her parents' restaurant in Wichita.  They were so very generous providing such delicious Asian cuisine!

Seems like there are so many babies recently!   We have had several at our church.  I took meals to 3 families with new babies in one month!  Our church nursery is growing!  When I was the Nursery Director many years ago, I asked those who had started our church to quit praying for families with babies!  We couldn't keep up with the growth!  Seems like there is another growth spurt!

This past weekend we went to the Jeremy Camp concert.  Not sure why an ambulance was parked there?

The Orpheum is an amazing old building!  Such character!

Toby, the guitarist above, is the youngest son of our dear friends, Steve and Bobbie, who are in our community life group.  Steve grew up in Japan and his sister and I were room-mates our freshman year at CAJ (Christian Academy in Japan), so we go way back!

Another celebration was Mother's Day - My children called me and I also received a beautiful FTD bouquet!  How I miss the children's presence but I am grateful for Facetime and texts and phone calls!  I ended up getting sick in the afternoon so spent the afternoon/evening resting.

I was reminiscing with our daughters how we used to spend Mother's Day going out to eat - just we women!  We had so much fun while the Daddy's were on duty.

Sure miss my Mom!
