Popcorn Time..(again!)

So it is that time of the year again for us in Scouting. It is time to get out an sell POPCORN! Last year Caleb did a great job, selling over $2,600 for his pack. The great thing about this fundraiser is 70% goes directly to BSA. 30% to Caleb's pack, 30% to the Toledo Area, and 10% to BSA nationally. This is our only fundraiser of the year and is important for us to maintain what we can offer the boys each year. If you are interested in supporting Caleb and local scouting feel free to check out the on-line catalog link below. The prices listed include shipping so it is cheaper to order directly from us. Just send us an email or give us a call.

Our Busy Life...

Well, we are barely into the 2nd month of school and I am exhausted. The kids are constantly on the go and Jamey and I are right there with them. Jamey continues to be a lead writer for our church weekly Bible study, Living It Out. In addition, she will start teaching 4 week on-line courses for Cedar Creek. This year I am Caleb's cub scout den leader again. We have a smaller group of boys, which is more manageable. I have been more organized so far but, that means more work. By the way, Caleb is selling popcorn again and if you are interested let us know and he will hook you up. The pace a work has also increased over the last month. Busy is good but, it has led to longer hours. On top of that, we have 3 kids with homework, friends, activities, etc... Oh yah, I forgot Grace!

This past Sunday, Caleb ran into a tree and gashed the top of his head open. He lucked out and didn't get stitches because the doctors were able to glue the wound together. He seems to be recovering and we were finally able to wash his hair the other night.
