Froelich's Frolics

This a card that my Mom gave to Carl for his birthday. Everyone got a kick out of it. They thought it was sooo funny.

Yesterday was my sweet hubby's birthday. He is such a wonderful husband to me.  I love him so much! Thursday, I treated him to lunch at Fogo de Chao. He loved it. That place is awesome. Thursday night we went to Columbus to hear Gold City in concert. That was a great concert. I had bought tickets to the Colts/Packers game this past Friday night a few weeks ago. Friday afternoon, my boss gives me the season tickets the company gets every year. So I was able to give the tickets I bought to someone else to enjoy, and Carl and I were able to enjoy the game, along with my brother James and Carl's mom. Too bad the Colts lost though. I bought an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen to take to my Grandma's house to have after Sunday dinner. Carl had a nice birthday. I tend to spoil him...just a little. He does the same thing for me though. 

A couple of weeks ago, Carl and I went to the Indianapolis Zoo. We had not been in a few years, so it was nice to visit the place again. Plus, the zoo was putting the new baby elephant was out in the exhibit for a few hours every day that starting that week. That little elephant was so stinkin' cute! See? We watched the sweet little thing for quite a while. There were lots of other people watching the elephants too...along with some other zoo creatures. The cheetahs were next to the elephants. Boy, were they eyeing that little baby. First it was just one of the cheetahs staring at the elephant. Then all 3 were watching its' every move. Then, they all walked over to the fence separating their area from the elephants' area. Finally, the momma and baby moved out of sight of the cheetahs. We also enjoyed the new tiger exhibit. I love tigers, so I was especially excited to see this. The tigers now are really close to you. There is only thick glass between you and the ti...

I am so looking forward to these videos! Coming out at the end of September...just in time for my birthday! :)

There was pandamania in Junior Church the month of July. I took the lessons from Group's VBS kit, and tailored it for Junior Church. I didn't actually buy the kit, but based the lesson plans off of the overview page in the catalog for the VBS kit. The theme of the kit was "Pandamania! Where God is wild about you!" This was based on Psalm 139. The different days were: God made you. -- God creates the world. God listens to you. -- God hears Elijah's prayer on Mount Carmel. God watches over you. -- God protects Jonah. God loves you no matter what. -- Jesus died for you. God gives good gifts. -- God gives Hannah a son.  I borrowed the cardboard stand-up from another church my aunt cleans. They let me use it for no charge. That saved me a lot of money. I ordered these character posters from e-churchdepot.com They were cheaper than Group. I had told the kids if they brought me a picture of a panda or a toy panda, they would get an extra ticket towards a prize. Eliz...

Here is a funny little story from Junior Church a couple weeks ago. The memory verse for July was Psalm 139:17 -- How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God. How great is the sum of them! I always like to try to make up motions for the important words in the verse, or at least try to emphasize certain words to help make the verse easier to learn. Well, for this verse, I acted like I was holding something small in my hands, trying to protect it, to explain the wordd "precious." (If any of you have seen The Lord of the Rings movies, you might know where this is going...) Well, one of the older boys in the class, Jacob, started saying the word precious just like the creepy little character in the movies did, which made me laugh. I mentioned to him that he was freaking me out sounding like the little creature (I don't remember his name, sorry.) which just made him say it more. This, of course, distracted everyone from the memory verse, and those who knew about th...
