New Writebol In Town

We want to welcome to the world Anna Joy Writebol!!!! Esther and Brian had a girl at 7:41pm yesterday (the 21st). She weighed 7lbs. 6oz. and was 18 inches long. Brian and Esther are very excited. Stephanie will be contacting folks to arrange for meals for them once Esther has let her know what she wants. Mother and Daddy and baby are doing great! Keep them in your prayers.

BBQ at the Oggs

The Oggs have invited our class to a BBQ at their house on June 29th at 6:00pm as a fun way to end our study in Romans. They will provide the BBQ and drinks, and we're going to bring sides and desserts. Below I will list some suggestions and you can just leave a comment for what your family would like to bring. Of course you can bring something else that's not listed, but just say what it is so we don't all bring the same thing.

-pasta salad, fruit salad, macaroni salad, potato salad, green salad
-a few bags of chips
-baked beans
-1 dessert, 2 dessert, 3 dessert

I hope we have a good turnout so that we can say thank you and show him that we appreciated his teaching. Thanks Everyone, Emberli

Adventures of the Boyds-Chapter 22

I'm sure none of you have cars that break down on the side of the road. Mine however does with some frequency. Normally this happens in the heat of the day -- never below 100 degrees. What complicates things is there are usually half a dozen "hungry, tired, hot, thirsty, bored" kids in the car with me. Yesterday this happened at the intersection of Farmers Lane and Highway 12.

i did see quite a few of my friends driving by, waving cheerfully, not realizing the car wasn't just waiting to turn, it was parked :) in the middle of the road :)

So it worked out, turns out our gas gauge was off or out or stuck or whatever the technical way to say it is. We were out of gas, so it was an easy fix.

Game Night Pictures

Thank you to Jeff and Rachel for opening up their club house for us for the evening. We had a great BBQ and lots of good food. It was a great chance to catch up on how everyone's lives have been going. We will definitely have to do this again!!

The Boyd boys had a blast with the pool table.


Some of the guys had a chance to fellowship and talk with each other.


All the girls gathered for a fun time of apples to apples. I have no idea who actually won.





Here are all the glowing pregnant ladies. We will have lots of wee ones this year.


Come on Jen, buck up, everyone has to get their picture taken.


Game is on for a couple of the guys.


The rest of them hung out and watched a game on TV.


I think it's fair to say we all had a really nice time of fellowship and good food. Any more Strawberry soda Jen?
