July

   We kicked off July with the twins' 15th birthday. Hard to believe. They are entering their sophomore year and are the last two to homeschool.
    Scott, Hannah, Sarah and Jesse went with the Youth to Gatlinburg, TN for nearly a week. The 1980's was their theme, thus the heavy make-up and flashy clothes The first one is Sarah and her girlfriend, Katrina.The next shot is Hannah and her friend, Sarah Beth. Did we really dress like that?
   The boys goofing off are kids from church: David, Zach, Jesse and Daniel. It's a rarity to see them dressed up. (We are at a wedding.)
    Recently Brian and Brenda  flew to Ft. Myers, Fl to watch The Perfect Game, which is tons and tons of boys playing baseball all over the city. We saw recruits and a couple of our own freshmen coming this fall to UAB. Some of the games were played at the Boston Red Sox spring training field. Their hitting facility and stadium were impressive. The last photos are Ivan, our Puerto Rician, who we just love. We had the privilege of meeting his parents and PaPa, the one talking to Brian.

June Activities

June was busy with lots of activities. Hannah and two of her very
close friends went with the Youth Pastor's wife to the beach for
a few days. Hannah, Bethany and Sarah Beth enjoying the sun.
On June 9 we hosted Hannah's Graduation/Blessing party. Close
friends came for a meal and gave her gifts and words of blessings.
We displayed Hannah's many paintings for all to see. The collage
is many pictures of Hannah growing up and her funny momments.
The side by side shots are close friends.
Brian & Brenda celebrated their 29th anniversay in Leesburg,Al
at The Secret Bed & Breakfast. We had three very relaxing days
and ate at this beautiful victorian house in Mentone, Al. Our
cabin was on a mountain and we had a wonderful view.
