Praise the Lord for a second vehicle

We praise the Lord for providing a second vehicle. We have been looking and praying for a second, larger, 4WD vehicle. Here where we are living there are quite a few places where 4WD comes in handy. With our family being the size that it is we really needed a larger SUV. This week the Lord provided us with a very affordable Suburban that is in great shape. We praise Him for the finances and for the convenience of having a second family vehicle.

Sara and a new face

Sara is learning to express herself in all kinds of ways. We thought this picture was worth a thousand words.

Meeting at Angel Peak

This past Saturday the "Freedom of Nations," congregation had a gathering at Angel Peak which is a famous landmark in our area. We gathered for food, fellowship and worship. The view was spectacular. Sara made a new friend with a puppy named Missy. We were situated overlooking a fairly large canyon with all sorts of shapes and formations. It truly was a beautiful tribute to our Creator!

harvesting

We got to enjoy our biggest home grown watermelon this year. Only two really grew but we were glad for those two.

This year we were also blessed with lots of fruit on our three fruit trees. Here you see the boys picking pears. We also picked lots of apples and are getting ready to pick peaches here

shortly. We have sure appreciated having our own fresh fruit, what a treat!

Sara enjoying her meal

Sara has become quite independent with feeding herself. It isn't always the prettiest but she is really gettin very good at using a spoon.

Lydia gets a kitten

While in PA we promised Lydia a birthday surprize. We surprized her with a new kitten. Lydia named her Mittens and is absolutely in love with her!

Elijah's birthday

Elijah turned six on July 20th. He and his friends enjoyed water games and Elijah chose a transformer theme for his party. The boys had a great time a few stayed the night. They put up a tent inside since the weather turned pretty windy.
