I hope you are all doing well!!!

Zaeda’s Birthday Party

Chance got to go to his friend, Zaeda’s, 4th birthday party on Saturday.

He had so much fun!  I thought I’d post some pictures (really… would you expect anything less?)

A Mouse Has Moved In…

… to the Vandergiessen’s garage.

I don’t think the mouse has found us yet… and I’m hoping it never does.

I got a panicked phone call this morning from Laura.  I did find it odd that she was calling me since she usually just walks over.  Here’s how it went down:

Me:  Hello?
Laura: Um… hi… what’s Brian doing?
M: I dunno… why?
L: The boys were playing and SAW A MOUSE in the garage!
M: Bwahahahahahahaha! (I know… I’m not all that nice)
L: They left the door open and everything. I’m not coming out!
M: *still laughing*
L:  So… does Brian by any chance want to come over here and shoo a mouse out of my garage for me?
M: Yes… I’ll send him over. Bwahahahahaha!!!

That’s what we do here.

Here, the boys are all trying to help Brian find the mouse with the legs of patio furniture.  Very helpful…

So… how do you get rid of mice?

Scott’s Memorial Service Video

For those who weren’t there… here was the video that represented Scott’s life.

Enjoy!
 

This video was made by Kent Factora.

Scotty & Paxton

Janet just emailed me this picture.  It was in Holly’s collection of pictures from our family beach vacation a couple of months ago and Janet thought I should have it.

Scott ALWAYS loved on my kids.  Brian and I have explained to Chance that we won’t be seeing Uncle Scott around anymore because he’s hanging out with Jesus now.  Chance said, “Can Jesus send Uncle Scott back to play cars with me?”  I said, “Not for awhile… but someday soon, we can go play cars with Uncle Scott AND Jesus.”  Chance:  ”But I like Uncle Scott.”  Me: “I know, honey… everyone likes Uncle Scott.”

Not only did Scott leave a lasting affect on his friends… but he left an amazing lasting impression on our kids.

I’m so glad Janet sent this.   Paxton won’t ever get to know Scott in this life, but he’ll have this picture to know Scott loved him too.

We miss you, Scotty!

Scott Resnick’s Memorial Service Needs

Okay everyone… Y’all wanted to help. We need some help.

  1. We would like some idea of how many ARE baking cookies for the Memorial Service.  Please contact Janet Fraser if you are doing this.
  2. We need help folding programs Friday at 1pm at Sunset.  We’ll need middle school age or older for this project.  Also contact Janet for this.  CANCEL THIS.  The printer is going to take care of all of this.
  3. We need someone awesomely creative to think through some kind of scrapbook thing for the memorial service. We’ll need someone to provide a signature book for people attending and then would love to have paper people could write memories on, which would eventually end up in a scrapbook for the family. If you’re up for this… contact me.  Let’s chat.  DONE!!!

You guys have been and CONTINUE to be amazing in all of this.  

Thank you SO much.
