Friday, Lynette and the girls attended our church’s bridal shower for Kelly Brown ~ the happy bride-to-be of Peter Bradrick. It is a blessing to see their love for the Lord and for each other!

one of the crazy games – toilet paper brides! See what you can design in 5 minutes with three rolls of TP!

The ladies who designed Jaimee’s “dress” actually won! Kelly is very grateful for her own wedding dress.

On Thursday, the Smithe family had us over for dinner and fellowship. We greatly enjoyed the time spent with them… wonderful food and beautiful music!

blessing us with a song their father wrote, “As for Me and My House”

a stunning performance of “Twinkle, Twinkle”

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of visiting with a friend of Jaimee’s from water therapy. She and her husband came for the evening, and it was a treat to hear their many stories and see pictures from their travels overseas. She calls Jaimee “the daughter she never had.”

As you can see, little Essie is still indulging in much needed rest, lots of love and petting, and is getting to be quite spoiled!

oh no! two more weeks of indoor rest!

The youngest, most cutest member of our family had surgery to repair her ACL on July 10th. She is resting comfortably and will enjoy being an indoor dog for the next two weeks.
