Mother's Day at Preschool

Soccer Wind-up & Little chefs

The last weekend of April brought a soccer wind-up party for Josh's winning Soccer team: the Poco Lightning.
Coach Caldwell chats with the team before handing out trophies for the season.
Yeah Team!
Josh & Lucy also love to help in the kitchen. Here they are grating Mozzarella and mixing cottage cheese, parmesan, oregano and eggs for Lasagna!
TaDa! Adding the last layer of sauce!

More pics of grandparents

We had a great time when Grandma and Grandpa (formerly known as Gooma and Goompa) came to visit in April.
Just wanted to wish Grandpa well as he recovers from his 2nd hip operation (last week)! Can't wait until we see them again!

Prayer for Uncle Ken

This is my Uncle Ken.... in Richmond Hospital last year. He has been in again since early April due to another stroke. Lucy and I went in to visit him 3 weeks ago and had a really nice chat. Uncle Ken is medically stable, but now needs 24 hour care, so has been waiting to be moved into a care home. He is moving today to Minoru Residence - which is perfect for him and Auntie V.

While we were chatting, Uncle Ken told me about the little church in Port Kells that he grew up in. He hasn't been a church-goer during my lifetime, but I asked him if Lucy and I could pray with him before we left. I know how badly Uncle Ken wants to walk again, so we prayed for that.

My parents have been to visit him twice since then, and both times he shared with Dad how much that prayer meant to him, and the dreams he's been having since. He's been talking to God, and God has given him dreams where he sees himself walking.

If you are reading this, would you please pray for Uncle Ken? God says "I am the God that heals you." Exodus 15:26.

April happenings

April 5th brought the long-awaited Wee College graduation to the Caldwell home. Joshua has now completed the 3 year program at our church, having memorized the 10 commandments, 40 scriptures (in the 3 years), knows all the names of the disciples - and all the books of the Bible in the right order! Lucy just finished her freshman year, and also enjoyed it very much.

I got to be involved in both kids classes this year, taking on the role of "Story-teller". The kids were really happy that Grandma and Grandpa were here from Shawville to celebrate with them!

Also in recent Caldwell news, Joshua lost both his front teeth within 10 days. He looks so cute! With his missing teeth and freckles, I want him to stay 7 forever!
