A Visit and Birthday Party

Grammie and Grampie came over a few weeks ago for a visit! We had, as always, a very fun and special time! Grammie taught Mama and I how to make egg rolls and some of the younger ones helped with the preparation.Grampie is working on making us a custom computer desk. Here he is taking measurements.

Grating and talking...

I think Grampie got better pictures than we did but, I had to post some! We had a lovely afternoon with them and time flew by too fast! It was really fun to learn how to make egg rolls and my favorite part is folding them!:) (Thanks, Grammie and Grampie for the wonderful visit!:)


Exciting things happen every once in awhile....


This little baby possum wandered into our yard the Saturday following Grammie and Grampie's visit and it created alot of excitment as well as fear with the younger ones. I just grabbed a few shots and then we left the little guy alone.


To more recent times, last Saturday, some of us girls threw a surprise party for Sarah Pau. It took alot of work to pull it off as Sarah kept inviting us over throughout the week. The Lord worked things out well and we were able to pull it off without the least suspicion!:) We had a very fun afternoon and really appreciated all the work that Mrs. Pau, Nichole and Joanna did to make it possible!

After that was "Musical Chairs" with blindfolds:). I have to give credit to those who played, it must have been quite tricky!:)

After that, we headed down to the park nearby for another game.


"Blind Man's Buff"

We are thankful to the Lord for the special opportunites we have to fellowship with other belivers and for the blessing of godly friends!:)
