We received the call today from our adoption agency that Chase will be flying home from South Korea on Tuesday, October 26. He will be flying from South Korea to San Francisco and then to Newark International Airport in New Jersey. We have already sent out numerous invites and plan on having a lot of people with us to meet him at the airport. Our son is finally coming home!

MercyME Concert
Saturday evening we went to the MercyMe concert at the Sovereign Performing Arts Center in Reading.
Jay won the tickets on the Word FM earlier in the week. He was listening to the radio and heard the DJ announce, “Caller six wins now.” Since he has all the radio stations phone numbers programmed into his phone, he picked up his Blackberry and dialed. When the lady on the other line answered, she said, “Congratulations, your caller number six, you won!” Jay’s response was, “What did I win?”
The concert was awesome. The opening act was Phil Wickham and his last song, “True Love” was an amazing worship song.
MercyME just released a new album, "The Generous Mr. Lovewell", and they played many of the songs from that album. They also sang many of their hits from past albums.
It is amazing how many recognizable songs MercyMe has. Their strong testimony and well performed songs made it one of the best concerts we have ever attended.

2010 MCCC Wiffle Ball Tournament
On Saturday, Jay once again got a team together to participate in the annual wiffle ball tournament held at the Montgomery County Community College. The tournament is very intense and his team usually does not do that well. It is a fundraiser for the current MCCC baseball team so Jay tries to go every year to relive his youth. This year, his team, “THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID” consisted of Shann Davis, Nate Derstein, Mike Semko, Jesse Bessler and Andy Gotwals. It was a fun morning and the team won another game this year. They also went out as winners because one of their losses was to the team that eventually won the tournament.

While Amy was watching Braydon and Addison, Griff stopped by with his dump truck to say hello. The kids were excited to see Pop Pop and we got a few photos of them sitting inside the cab.
Griff even let Braydon pull on the horn.

Jay's Disk Golf Birthday
Today we went to Tinicum Park to celebrate Jay‘s birthday. Jay wanted to go to Tinicum Park so that he could play disk golf at his favorite course.
The kids enjoyed themselves throughout the day by playing on the playground.
After playing the front 9, we all met back and ate sandwiches. Kara also made Jay’s favorite cake, angel food cake for us to enjoy.

Celebrating Madalyn and Bailey's Birthday
Tuesday evening we went to Jay’s parents to spend some time with Jay’s sister and her children. They have been visiting for a few weeks from Georgia and soon will be heading home. We also wanted to celebrate Madalyn’s birthday which will be on August 15th. Since we were celebrating Madalyn’s birthday, we also celebrated Bailey’s birthday which was on April 26th. They both enjoyed their presents.
Later in the evening, the girls showed us all of their Silly Bands. They also worked on making their projects form the gifts that we got them.
We then had a great time playing Apples to Apples.
During the game, Jay was getting frustrated with Madalyn’s silly answers. Since they were eating marshmallows, Jay got a great idea at getting revenge on Madalyn. He loaded up a marshmallow in his mouth,
got close to Madalyn, and let it rip.
Unfortunately we did not get a photo of the event, but the marshmallow stuck to Madalyn’s chin. Jay laughed the hardest he has ever laughed.
Jay modified this photo to show everyone what he saw.
After all of the laughing stopped, it was time to say goodbye.
