Xan's 5th grade blessing
We had such a special day on May 26th, 2019!! Xan was "promoted" to the next grade at church, and with that came a big step -- HE'S NOW IN THE YOUTH GROUP!!! We officially have a middle schooler in our house... dun dun dun.
During class that morning, Xan and the rest of his group came down to the Youth Space and were introduced to the Youth Group! During service, Xan was recognized and given a really neat teen guys Bible! After worship, there was a luncheon for him and our family. Xan's table was full! Blu, me, Xan, Danny, Dolly, Mary, Stewart, Lanny, Gina, Josh Dowell, Cole, Chelsea, Sydnee, Ian. <3 nbsp="" p="" so="" wonderful="">
After we got a chance to decompress and breathe for a second, then Xan got to spend the whole day with the Youth Group -- games at the gym, snacks, worship, high schoolers washing the new 6th graders feet, rock climbing at ARCH, and zombie tag! Xan had a pretty fantastic day. :)
He has said multiple times through this week how EXCITED he is to now be in the Youth Group!! Love it. Blu and I are praying over his experience, over his influencers and his influence, over his growth in knowledge and love for our God, and over his friends. God, may he have good, deep, godly, loyal, fun friends - please!
We've also spent part of this week reading all the blessing notes that were sent in for Xan and given to him at the luncheon on Sunday. It truly has been such a BLESSING to read them. They are special. They speak life and truth. I hope Xan feels showered with love and light!
We are so proud of our new 6th grader. :)

So many people in our lives who love us and love Xander wrote him cards and notes and letters.
Our people.
Thankful!
