I got a swing set!

Pancho and I have wanted to get Katrina a swing set since spring rolled around in Wausau (last week -- ha, ha!). We investigated several options and were not satisfied spending thousands of dollars on a Rainbow swing set or even a Play Star one from Menards. We simply didn't feel it was appropriate for a 2-year old. I was really praying and asking the Lord if there would be another way we could get her one. I drove around the neighborhood frequently (we live in a VERY family-oriented subdivision) looking for a home for sale with a swing set in the back. Nothing. Then, I remembered that some friends from church, who live in our neighborhood, are moving to South Bend, Indiana. I asked Kara if they would consider selling us their swing set. She said, "Yes. We would love it if Katrina could have it." Yesterday after church my brother Nick and Pancho went to their home and brought the swing set to our house. They set it up in the back and Katrina has been loving it ever since. I am so grateful the Lord is concerned with the birds of the air and the flowers of the field and the "swing sets of our children." Thank you, Lord and the Amstutz family, for giving our daughter a GREAT swing set!

  2. We are so glad she is enjoying it. When it gets warmer (after June and before September) put a baby pool at the end of the slide on a hot day. Our girls loved that!
