Company

I am bound and determined to get caught up with my posting. We have just been having waaaay too much fun this fall and that wonderful busy-ness has taken precedence over my blogging. I apologize in advance for having all these events out of order.

Think back to late August for this one! "wink"

Before we left on our New York trip, we were blessed with a house full of friends. It was Great America's home school day so a bunch of folks came into town.

The Hemmer family was here but we hardly count them as company. They are more like family.


We were blessed to make new friends, the Moody sisters from Missouri. They were good sports and joined right in with what was going on.

After a long and exhausting day at Great America, of course we had to have an evening of fun and games.



The Bruce family gets the award for "Coming the Farthest". They came straight through from North Carolina! Thanks you guys for making the effort!! We loved being able to visit together.

Haley and Kristin share a love for the harp. Kristin has played for about 4 years. You can only imagine the beautiful music we were able to enjoy. There is nothing like the sound of the harp. I know why David was able to sooth Saul with his music.

Since the Hemmers were here we had to do some juggling.



We found that Danielle could juggle as well. So they passed the juggling balls in a circle. Matthew is starting to really progress. Soon he and Nate will be able to work up some routines.

I loved having everyone over and find such encouragement in likeminded friends!
