Lunch with friends

Cam and I had lunch with some great friends from FBA! It was so much fun to see the ladies and catch up!  We had lots missing but hopefully they can make the next one!  Cam got to see his good friend Casey!  They started school together at age 4 months!! And share the exact same birthday!  Even though they don't get to see each other often they remain great friends!! 

Camping with Grammy and Grumpy

Grammy and Grumpy brought their RV to stay the weekend in a local resort! It was lots of fun! They had several swimming pools, the lake, games, BINGO and more!   After the weekend they left the RV at our house so that when the baby arrives they can just drive down and stay for a while.

Baby Shower with Friends

Today some very sweet friends gathered to celebrate Baby Mary.  It was so sweet and special to spend time with friends, some of which I have not seen in years!  They were all very generous and already have spoiled Mary!

DWMBC Baby Shower

The women's committee of our church threw us an amazing baby shower!  I was so overwhelmed by the love and generosity by the church family.  I still feel very new to the church but today they surrounded us in love and celebration for our new little one.  We are truly blessed to have found this church!

Chicks..... Now Chickens!

I had no idea how fast baby chicks could grow!!  Our little chicks are all grown up! Troye worked hard and got the co-op ready to move them into!  I love the way it looks!!  We still have some finishing touches to do, but it is functional for the chicks for now and I am sure they are happier with more room!!  We have also been letting the free range during the day and they go everywhere!  They also will come right up to you to see if you brought them a treat, so fun!  We found some surprises they had hidden in the woods!  The first discovery contained 17 eggs!!!!  We have no idea how many chickens were laying there or how long!  The second contained 24 eggs!!!  It was so crazy to find that many!  So for now, we are going to confine them to the coop so that they can learn to lay in the nesting boxes!  We also moved the big chickens over so all 14 chickens are now housed together.  I am not sure they all like that but hopefully they will learn to like it! 

WEDDING DAY!

Today we gathered with family and friends to celebrate the wedding of Granddad and Ruth!  We are so very excited to see them join as one.  Ruth is a fantastic lady and we are thankful she is joining our family!  The wedding was absolutely lovely!
