Quick date in Grayslake, IL

Before our son Timothy is born, we want to get out of the apartment as much as we can. We have recently realized that there are interesting places close by our home that we have never been. One of these was the downtown strip of Grayslake, IL. Last Saturday we spent an afternoon walking around the main street and looking for a place to eat. Of all places, we settled for a greasy spoon diner where we each got a burger and fries...somebody was craving greasy American food. Tina says that it was our soon-to-be-born son, but I think it was really her :)

Trip to Philly to lead worship conference

In the middle of March, we flew out to Philly to lead a worship conference for a Chinese church that our friends pastor. On Saturday, we led a three-session workshop on worship, which included topics such as the theology of worship, how to choose songs, musical aspects of worship, team dynamics, and how to prepare for a worship set at a church service. We are thankful to the Pastor and his wife, both who are friends, for their wonderful hospitality during our weekend at their church.

Family Time in Seattle

Over the last weekend, we flew out to Seattle to visit Tina's brother and sister in law. We had a wonderful time. Walter and Esther were incredibly hospitable. They made some awesome food for us, and we spent countless hours playing settlers. Tina's oldest brother, Wayne, was also able to join us for a little bit.

Seattle is a beutiful place, and we have made some great memories there in our two trips within the last year.
