Bright Lights Conference

Kentucky, here we come!  We have been a part of Bright Lights with our daughter for....well, a long time.  We first meet the Mally family at a home school conference in NH.  We later joined a Bright Lights group and have been involved in 2 different groups over the years.  We were so excited to go to a conference to connect with other mom and girls at the Ark.

The conference we focused on us 'Seeking Christ' and challenged us to see where we can do this on a daily basis.  We heard on the role of women from Martin Iles.  Ken Ham spoke on the Earth History and did an amazing job backing everything up with scripture.

Singing with the Wissman girls is always a high light.  They wrote and recorded the Bright Light CD which we love!

I love this shot of the Ark framed by the rainbow entrance.  This is the biggest timber frame building in the world....so cool!

                              We rode the very unique carousel that features dinosaurs and other animals.

                         The entrance to the Ark--remember?  God closed this door when it started to rain!
 

September Graduation Party

We had 3 graduations this year!  Whoo Hoo!  Kiara, Jacob and Joseph all graduated high school-so cool! 

                           We had family, church folks and friends over to help celebrate with us.

We played games, had good food and had an official ceremony on the front porch.  So proud of all of their hard work and efforts!  We can't wait to see what is in store for them next!
