Summer Plans

The Ice's are awaiting the arrival of a baby girl, Ella, in late July (see previous post). We have a small garden in the back yard, growing mostly weeds at the moment. Mac is working one day per week at the Disciples of Christ Historical Society (as an archivist intern) sorting through the official records of the National Convocation of the Christian Church (formerly the National Christian Missionary Convention). See: http://www.disciples.org/convo/index.htm These records have never been fully and comprehensively sorted and catalogued; I get to do the tedious preliminary sorting...great stuff! I am also taking a counseling course at Lipscomb and the usual preaching and teaching at Central Church. Laura is giving a few piano lessons and keeping well-hydrated (Doctors orders are 8 ounces of water every 10 minutes). Darby is taking dance and ballet lessons and helping her Dad weed the garden and feed the birds.
