Blessings

February 25, 2009

We met the Welch family a few months ago, and had the pleasure of spending last weekend with them. We enjoyed attending Solomon's Porch together, exploring Reedley's little shops after a book sale at a local church, (thanks for your patience boys!) sang and laughed together, planned our upcoming garden and planted a pea bed, along with of course, lots of visiting and 'get to know you' time. What a blessing!

Our weekend began with beautiful smiles.

Mr. Welch held the little ones captive with their story Bible.



Oh, the Lillys! What a sweet pair of friends! The Welch's daughter Lilly, (or 'the other Lilly' as our Lilly affectionately calls her) is very much like our own Lilly, and the similarities were enjoyed by them both I think. Mrs. Welch saw them on our front porch having fun together and asked them what they were doing. "Oh, we're laughing!" They exclaimed, and erupted again into peals of laughter. :-)






Chattin' on the swing




Hooray! Our pea bed is finally in! We are crossing our fingers that the gophers won't discover this exciting fact as well. Thanks for your help Mr. Welch!










I had to snap a photo of the Moms in the kitchen,



and couldn't resist one of Hannah playing the piano with Jayni,




along with more of those irresistible Lillys!






Mr. Snap strikes again.



Pockets of posies . . . :-)





Amber and I, tired but happy, after a big day on Sunday.

I love it how you do the garden together -- or at least you all did it for the PICTURE! :-) ("Here, quick - everybody come out here and get down in the dirt and look like you're planting." :-)

Can't wait to see the sprouts and final product.
