Sunday Afternoon
Azaleas blooming in the yard. Little girls playing in bare feet in the front yard. Older children laughing in the kitchen.

Our April Fellowship Group…
We are going to cancel our community fellowship this month. We will also not have it for the months of May and June. There are so many things happening in our home at the moment. My dear FIL will be staying for several weeks with us as he recovers from surgery and then our precious baby is due to arrive…
