Here is a fun video of Molly and Margot dancing to the peanuts theme song played by a Hallmark greeting card. Wouldn't it be great if all entertainment was that easy. I just wanted to follow-up yesterday's blog. We have heard that our case with DCFS will hopefully be closed tomorrow. The doctor that examined Margot said that her injury is consistent with a fall from the bed and she has no concerns of abuse or neglect. It is such a huge praise! God is good.....
Margot has been a real trooper. This is a picture of her having her little pink cast put on. We are hopefull that the cast will be off on July 11th.
This is Margot happily getting her water proof cast wet in the sink at Nanu and Papa's.
One huge praise from this week has been seeing the power of prayer. We have been sharing with friends and folks at church through e-mails about all the trials this week has held and they have been praying us thru each step of the way. We have received so many kind words, phone calls, meals and lots of hugs that have truly gotten us through the roughest hours. I want to share a verse of encouragement that the Lord showed me this morning from Psalm 34:17-18
"The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"
Our family would like to thank all the righteous who have cried out on our behalf!
We had quite the gang at the Farm Park, My dad Pat holding Margot, Grace Reinhardt, Molly, Mia Reinhardt, Daniel Reinhardt and Thomas Reinhardt. My sister-in-law brought down all the cousins to celebrate Uncle Jeff's big day!
Margot and Molly loved feeding the goats. They eat what looks like hamster food right out of an ice cream cone. The goats have the life being fed by little kids all day long!
Molly was so excited to see this little white bunny close up. They all even got a turn to hold the bunny all by themselves. 
Another activity of the day was taking in a Peoria Chiefs minor league baseball game from the suite that Jeff's company has. We al had a great time and Molly loved the chocolate cake decorated with sugary baseballs that mommy snuck in to the suite to surprise daddy. (Thanks Dan and Amy!)
Here's a picture of Daddy who is now officially 30 years old, Happy Birthday Daddy we love you!
Margot loved helping Papa put the new toilet in the bathroom!
After Papa took out the out toilet it spent a day in the front yard, I am sure the neighbors were thrilled!
The morning the bathroom was finished, Margot fell off the bed and broke her arm. Our poor baby now has a pretty pink arm that she is using as a weapon!
We lucked out that she has a water proof cast that can stand up to watering the flowers, swimming, bathing and lots of other fun summer time activities.
She has been a real trooper and the cast does not seem to be slowing her down a bit. We are hopeful that she will be fully healed and good as new in three short weeks!
We had great weather for lunch. Jeff's parents and his sister Suz and her two sons also came along. It is always a treat to spend a little time with Jeff's grandparents, as long as his grandpa dosn't put you to work. He is a welder and even in his eighties he goes to work in the shop everyday!
Jeff and his grandma enjoyed chatting in the rocking chairs that his grandpa made. They are great they say his and hers! Margot even got in on the conversation.
As always the kids also had a great time. Above Margot is leading the crew of Troy Graff, Molly and Kyle Graff all over the yard. Jeff's grandparents got such a kick out of watching the kids running around acting like kids. 
Just thought that I woould share this fun shot of Molly and her two best buddies, Reagan Metzger and Kylynn Murray. The three girls are always together at church and keep everyone entertained. They have had a great week at VBS learning with the Veggie Tales about the verse, "When I am afraid I will trust in you" Psalm 56:3. I am so thankful for all the VBS workers who have dedicated their time to pour the love of Christ on to my little girl and her adorable friends! Praie the Lord.
Jeff's days have been filled with looks like this from Margot. He has described Margot as a bad patient. She is very unhappy and nothing is ever quite the way she likes and she lets you know about it. I give Jeff all the credit he has been an extremely patient and loving daddy even when she calls him, MOMMY! 
I have had the privilege to be one of over 600 volunteers at our church taking part in vacation bible school. I have been teaching about sixteen 2nd and 3rd graders about the armor of God. We have learned to, "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devils schemes" Ephesians 6:11 They have been a joy and I have loved teaching them about Jesus and his free gift of salvation. Our Church makes a huge commitment to VBS with over 800 children in attendance each day. 
I also have to share Molly's favorite part of VBS. She loves Black Buffalo (pictured above). He is a native American missionary who has been part of VBS at Grace since the early 70's. He has never missed a year. He runs children's homes throughout south America and they are all called the Quiver. He is an awesome man of God and comes to each department daily and tells the kids stories of the children that he has ministered to in his children's homes. Molly loves his drum, especially when she gets to play it herself!
Molly and Margot have loved to check out the progress each night when the crew leaves! Molly carries toys downstairs every night to play. She was very upset the first day that the builders were here and we told her they were making a playroom but no toys were there when we went to check it out. Margot loves to hunt for the nails that the guys have left lying around for her to find!
