Revival Meeting with the Youngs

 We had Revival Meetings this past week with Dave Young

and his family.  It was such a good, refreshing, challenging

time!  And I'm so glad to finally get to meet his family!

They're so sweet & fun!

 Precious to watch the interaction between all the family

members.  You can tell that Dave & Bethlie really love &

respect each other!  Such a refreshing thing to see in this sad

day where too many couples just coexist!

 Enjoyed a delicious lunch with the Youngs, Dave Corn,

Preacher, Scott, and our families on Wednesday!

 The boys all matched with their Nike shirts :-)

 We had a time for the teens with Dave Young after

the evening service on Wednesday.  It was so nice

to see him interacting with the guys.  I think they

really enjoyed talking with him too :-)

 Dave Young suggested they all wave for a picture ;-)

 Traveling with the Youngs are David & Joy Corn.

He is an evangelist specifically to young people.

I think they all enjoyed having him!  He also does

magic tricks - they loved that!  It was so fascinating!

 A group of us went out to Red Robin after the service

on Friday night.  We came back to find my car like this!

 It was trashed inside & out thanks to

Dave Young and crew! :-)

 

 So, when he and his family left for a brunch the next

morning... we had fun with his truck & trailer! :-)

 Nice artwork thanks to Naomi... :-)

 We had fun joking around with him too & writing on his windows!

 And writing on his trailer!

(Don't worry - it comes off :-))

We like to make a lasting impression! ;-)

Thanks so much for coming, Young Family (even if

I did get my car trashed for it!).

Hope you all can come back again soon! :-)

Tab's Surprise Visit!

 Tab surprised us with a visit for a few days!

SO good to see her again!!

 Enjoyed lunch at Cottage Inn in downtown

Dexter & then had fun walking around downtown

and going to the Dexter Cider Mill.  Too bad it

wasn't open, though :-(  We still had fun spending

time together :-)

 What talent!

 Too many "picture perfect" opportunities to pass up! :-)

 She's weird... but I love her :-)

 Love, LOVE this one! :-D

 Went downtown for breakfast on Thursday morning.

So much fun being together again!

 Enjoyed spending the day shopping with the girls! :-)

And we ended our time with Culver's for dinner.

Thanks so much for coming, Tab!  Surprise us anytime! :-)

Amanda's Visit

 We so enjoyed having Amanda (aka Mooshoo ;-)) come

for a visit!  I think we need to make this a yearly occurrence! :-)

 A group of us headed to Bronner's, Frankenmuth, and

Birch Run for the day!

 I loved this saying that was up in Bronner's!

(By the way, Bronner's is the world's largest Christmas

store - if you haven't gone then you definitely should!)

 Frankenmuth - a cute "little village" :-)

 Of course, had to get a picture for our

good friends - the Woody's! :-)

 Bridge of Nations - so cool!

 Enjoyed having Amanda join me for church on Sunday

and throughout some of the week for our Dave Young

Revival meetings.  Thank you for joining in our orchestra

and choir too, Amanda!  We appreciated your excellent service! :-)

 Not the best picture, but had a lot of fun going out to eat

with Amanda and Sarah and some others one night after church.

 Lots of shopping & catching up! :-)

Thank you SO much for coming, Mooshoo!

It was so much fun!  Come back anytime!

Love you!

Puppies!

 Our dog, Molly, just had puppies a few weeks ago.

They are so cute!  These are the three that made it.

Five of them died :-(

 Baxter

 Reagan

 Woody

 I think Reagan is my favorite! :-)  I love the name, too.

 I brought the girls out to see the puppies.

 Julia was SO excited!

 And Natalie was very observant :-)

I think they liked them alright ;-)
