As you can see we have been anxiously engaged in our gardening project.  We are already harvesting beets, artichokes, strawberries and tomatoes daily.  We are most excited about growing peanuts.  It is a new adventure for us and we have had our trials already, but I am determined to make my own peanut butter this year.   We had to plant the peanuts three times because they kept disappearing.  We came to the conclusion that we had visitors every evening and so we laid traps.  For five consecutive nights we caught five mice.  Who knew?

In addition to our gardens we have added three more fruit trees as well as 3 raspberry, 2 blueberry and 2 blackberry bushes. 

I BELIEVE IN YOU!

During one of Kendrick's final wrestling matches this season the match became rather intense as most of them are. The crowd was cheering and screaming all sorts of moves for each opponent. During all of the commotion Brigitta stood up on her seat in the stands and yelled at the top of her lungs:

I BELIEVE IN YOU...

At that very moment the crowd around us became hushed as everyone looked to see who screamed those powerful words; I BELIEVE IN YOU! Several people began to whisper and the family in front of us turned and told her that was the most amazing thing they had ever heard.

It was definitely the turning point in the evening for many people
as a young girl hushed an entire crowd around her because of the

faith and love she had in her older brother.
