It's been awhile, but we haven't fallen off the planet :)

Hello Friends and Family,
There has been a lot going on in the Kendrick household. The best word to describe this past season of our life would be "crazy-busy" (is that two words?) So let me fill you in.

Lyle and I have spent this past school season as Senior class sponsors for our churches Christian boarding school that is just down the road. This has been a huge responsibility as our goal was to raise enough money for the class to take a trip to Washington DC. Well, we did it :)

Our kids have also been crazy busy. They successfully finished up another year of Awanas.

And Shayna has been busy with dance. She was asked to join the competition team this year and has LOVED every minute of it. She is constantly doing back walk overs and splits.

Liberty and Levi are also playing softball and baseball again this spring with their cousins.

We even made a quick trip to Iowa in May so Lyle could perform a wedding and baptize a friend. It was so good to see every one that we miss from there and we hope to make it a yearly thing to visit. While there Liberty also decided it was time for her summer haircut, and as a bonus she was able to donate her beautiful think hair again. So we met up with our dear friend Katie!

 We also have a new addition to our family. Everyone's cries were finally heard and we decided to find a furry friend to add to our family. We found a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and we named him Harley. He is only four months old and still in full-on puppy mode for sure, but he is a great addition to our family :)

We are hoping that life will slow down a little now that the school year is over and our sponsoring responsibilities are over. We are planning a trip in a few weeks to Missouri for a wedding and then on to Wisconsin for a family reunion. We are really looking forward to seeing loved ones we haven't seen in a while.

Also if you would, could you please remember our family in your prayers over the next few weeks? Lyle was unexpectedly called to Illinois for work and we don't know how long he'll be there. It is a blessing to have the work, but we really miss our daddy and husband when he is not here! And we can't wait for him to come home!!
God bless you all :)
Hope
