July Celebrations !!!!

   The twins celebrated their 16th birthday July 3rd, with the Fullness Youth Group on their way to Chicago. They particiapted in lots of service projects with children and adults. It was a very enlightening experience for them. When they returned we had our family party.
  Then Hannah, Sarah & Jesse goofed around with photo shoots of each other. And, yes, they are on the porch roof up with the trees!

   The really big news of the month is Emily and Joshua's engagement on July 21st. These photos were actually taken a few days later when we came back down to earth after all the excitement. Hope you enjoy them.

June Activities

     We celebrated our family and sent our oldest son off to Texas. Scott is a Resident Parent at Happy Hill Farm near Granbury, TX., 45 min. southwest of Ft. Worth. Before leaving we blessed Scott with a farewell party with several close friends. We have included a few photos from his new home.

     Then Brenda's sister, Beth, flew down for a fun filled southern hospitality week. She got a good taste of our busy schedule and mighty high temperatures! Of course no trip to the Shoop home is complete without some baseball. So that was included too!
