A recipe for an enjoyable summer

It has been a very busy spring. Plans for the new church are coming along well. We look forward to the beginning of building! This could start possibly in September.

Annie was a blast and Tina is glad to have had the opportunity to be a part of that play. She is still working on the music for Pocahontas and is also enjoying it!

Isaac has had a good year. Grade one took a little getting used to but has really paid off. It is fun to watch Isaac sit and read a book, even to his sister Megan, who is dying to go to school with Isaac. She will start preschool in September. Where has this time gone?

However, we are excited to say that Isaac has only 18 days of school left! This is a time that marks the upcoming summer season. We have much planned in the Stobbe family. On Tim's birthday (aka Canada day), we travel to Abbotsford to spend some time with Tim's family and celebrate his birthday. We then will travel to Calgary where we will spend 2 weeks with Tina's family. This should be a time of much needed rest for us all. After these two weeks we will make our way back to Abbotsford. Tim will return home to Vaughn, and Tina and the kids will stay to spend a little more time with the Stobbe's.

Lots of travelling and lots of resting. Thank you Lord for your goodness!

Annie

It has begun.

After a very long and tiring week, the musical Annie opens. With much anticipation and excitement from a cast of forty some people, our first show with an audience, was last night. It was so much fun. I know that during some rehearsals I wondered if it was really worth it, however when you see the final product, it is truly a blessing to be able to be a part. I am having a great time! I guess you could say that I am fully dressed, with a smile!

I am grateful for the patience of my family and especially Tim (my honey). They have not only been patient but supportive and helpful. I consider myself lucky to have such loving people in my life!

Another exciting bit of news for me (Tina) is that I have the opportunity to direct the music for the next show, Pocahantis, at the theater. Thankfully it will be a less hectic schedule and considering music is something that I totally love, I am very excited.
