Crazy Day at the Office *VIDEO*
Last Friday was CMF’s staff retreat day. This year we went to a park to play a few games and enjoy the company and scenery. After finishing a game of water balloon volleyball, a massive water balloon fight broke out. This video shows the Director of Donor Development getting back the Executive Director with the last source of water he could find. Just another day at CMF!

Hannah’s First Carousel *VIDEO*
On a beautiful Saturday this weekend we met both sets of grandparents and Aunt Sue at “The Great Darke County Fair” in Greenville, Ohio. Hannah ate a lot (OK we did too) and rode her first carousel ride. Later we were able to visit greatgrandma Shuttleworth in the hospital shortly before she was released to recuperate from surgery at home. Hopefully Hannah’s presence helped!
Taylor Hicks Sighting!!!!
Last Thurday night Katie convinces me we should go to the Indiana State Fair even though I was taking all day Friday off. My suspicions rose when we pulled into the infield parking lot and Katie says, Hey there’s the American Idol touring buses. That’s right they’re performing tonight.” We found a close parking spot and before I could finish parking we see Taylor Hicks (show winner) 20 yards away signing autographs and talking to a very small crowd behind stage. Katie grabs the camera and hops out to see him. Oh, yeah and we saw the “rocker” Chris Daughtry.
Nana Saves the Week!
While Katie was in Colorado helping Group Publishing research preteen ministry, Nana came to my rescue and played with Hannah all week! Hey it’s a hard job! 
My Apologies
I don’t know if its our crazy summer schedule or that we’re already boring parents, but we’ve been awful at updating the blog lately.
Last week was BLAST week for Katie and I. Meaning: we’re busy entertaining/teaching 100 preteens until 9 or 10pm every night! It took all weekend to recover.
*UPDATE*- This ministry made possible by our friends the Bouterse, who watched Hannah every night!
This week Katie is in Colorado Springs at the invitation of Group Publishing to join a think tank on pre-teen ministry. Katie is the youngest pre-teen minister and probably has the smallest budget of the 6 picked from around the country. This is an awesome opportunity for her!!!
