New London County 4-H Expo.

Today was the 4-H expo.. It is run by the 4-H kids. The boys were the rabbit barn superindendents. They were in charge of a lot of things, including a lot of paper work. They learned a lot. They also, entered their goats, rabbits, chickens, baked goods, information board and garden vegtables. We had a lot of fun. What a good family day!

Sal's Sunflower

Our garden's are beautiful this year. Jeremiah has a lot of corn and vegetables. Josiah has potatoes, vegetables and even some watermelon. I have vegetables and sunflowers. They are so pretty and the goats will eat the whole plant when they are finished blooming.

New Puppy "Levi"

This week-end Bet and I went to PA to visit Josh and Can, but we had another reason to go. We went to pick up a new puppy. It was a surprise for Dad and the boys. Dad has always wanted a German-shepherd. He was very suprised and happy, as you can see!

Cole and Aunty Bet-Bet

Cole and Aunty Bet-Bet are great friends!

Cole Talking with Grampa

While visiting with Josh and Can, Cole decided to call Grampa. They had a deep conversation. As you can see Cole was very serious.

Visit with Josh and Can

Elisabeth and Mom visited with Josh and Can this Friday and Saturday. They made us supper on Friday and it was DELICIOUS. It was bruschetta, made with eggplant, tomatoes and goat cheese. Thank you!

Army/Navy Teen Challenge

We had our Army/Navy Teen Challenge this week. It was especially fun because Jeremiah is now a teen. Everyone had a blast and 9 girls received Jesus as their personal Saviour. It was worth it all!

Blueberry Picking

This week we went blueberry picking with Ryan and Brianna. We've made muffins and a cobbler already. Yummy!

Karen's Shower

Recently we had a baby shower for our dear, friend Karen. She is expecting babies 10 and 11. What a blessing it is to see how God has blessed her and taken good care of her.

Family Fun

On July 5th we went to Harkness Park and had a picnic. It was fun to see Cole and Grace together.

Fourth of July

On the fourth of July we went to Pittsfield, Mass.. As tradition, Josh, Bet, Siah and Miah ran the Independence Day Run on North Street. They did a great job. We then went to Noni's and Jidoo's for their annual picnic. It was a blast.

Lauren and Grace came over yesterday. Grace got to meet Jane and loved her. She picked her up and just wanted to hold her. They were very cute together.
