These past few weeks many hours of fellowship have been shared with the Telian family! The pictures above and below were taken at the Telian home over the 4th of July. Since then, we've had the privilage of witnessing Jesse take the step of baptism, as well as enjoying a few days camping together. This family of ten has blessed our family in so many ways, and we've enjoyed every time we've been able to spend with them it's fullest. God bless you Telians, as you are blessing us.
Cooking and visiting just seem to go together!
The Telian's pool was great! We played some excellent, and energetic games of keep-away, with Fathers against Daughters. Great fun!
Peter, we found out, is an accomplished chef. Here's Simon holding the olive oil for him as he prepares his masterpiece! Yum, yum~
Miss Julia as she is . . . one of the cutest little girls around! :-)

More recently, they joined us for a few nights up in the mountains. It was a bit rainy when we got there, but cleared up beautifully the next day. The nights around the campfire, singing, reading God's word, visiting, and enjoying each-other made great memories. Some of us hiked to a little mountain lake while others enjoyed Hume lake with kayaks and the sailboat. All around, the beauty and refreshment of God's creation provided the perfect enviroment for fellowship! Thanks for making the effort to come Telians!
Go Moms go! Which do think went faster, the paddles, or the visit? :-)

Carving . . .
Cooking . . .
And of course, dishwashing! The guys very kindly lent us their skills in that department.
This game of hearts continued late into the night, when it was replaced by an exciting (when is it not?) game of Dutch Blitz.
In conclusion, Praise the Lord!
