Chicago!!

Can anyone guess what our experiment was this week? Answer at the end of this blog entry!
So Travis and I travelled up to Chicago this past weekend for a dear friends' wedding. Here is a picture of Travis with his college buds a.k.a. "The Porch"



The Happy Couple

While in the windy city we were able to enjoy a morning walk on the Beach, hit up the Taste of Chicago, catch up with friends and just enjoy some quality time together! We are so blessed with loving grandparents who not only watch our kids but truly enjoy their time together. I received a call from them informing us that they were at the zoo [the boys couldn't have been more thrilled]. It's reassuring to know that our boys are in good hands!

Da Taste!

Answer: We microwaved SOAP [Ivory] and the soap expanded to form 'snowballs!' Now my microwave smells like soap...which is much better then what it was smelling like!

Summer is in full swing here at the Taflinger Household. We have had 8 showings on our house in 1 month [which I think is GREAT] but no offers :( No worries because we know that it is in God's hands now. :)

Travis is playing softball and I'm helping out with church on Wednesday nights [which has been such an amazing blessing to teach! I can hardly wait to get into a classroom..until then my home is my classroom and we shall continue our 'sandbox theology' for now!]. Just as a reminder to all you Kokomo-ians...Boz II Men is coming to Kokomo Saturday at 8:15 for a free concert [whoo whoo] so grab a lawn chair and come on down for a little flashback followed by some fireworks- feel free to park in our drive if you need to! :)

Verse of the Week: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to the Lord!

Ohio....

While in Ohio we took the kids to Memphis Kiddie Park...we went there as little girls so it was neat to be able to take the boys there. The same man runs it and it was perfect for the kiddos.

Cornerstone Christian Academy's 10 year Reunion. I know it small but it's all we had. And I loved it! : )

My man!

Micah and I had the same thought....we should have stayed on the Carousel!!

So my mom passed on the book, "The Me I Want To Be" after completing a small group study at her church. Although it sound like another 'self-help' book it is not! I'm almost done and it would be an excellent quick summer read for those hanging pool-side this summer. It deals with the fact that God has wired us for greatness in Him and he wants us to obtain that! God has been speaking to me lately about being ALIVE in Him and what it means to have life to the fullest!
