Fellowship with Friends

An undisclosed anonymous person and Ashley came over to spend some time with us so Ashley and I could play violin together.


Tabitha really enjoyed playing! They had so much fun practicing together!

Momma stepped out of her normal routine to grill hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch

Ummmm.....after seeing the results, I think we'll have Stephanie stick to the grilling....lol

Sunday....

I caught these ladies soaking in some of the last rays of summer sunshine, they enjoyed quite a nice talk together!

After church that day we visited the Fourniers, with all their traveling we hadn't seen them in a while! It was good to get together with them again!

Sweet friends, Emily and Stephanie


Seth's birthday...

My sweet little cowboy turned 6!!! He's growing into such a man and so quickly! We love this little guy!
In the Mello home we have a tradition that the birthday person goes out to eat with Mom for breakfast to the restaurant of their choice so Seth wanted to take his co-partner in crime, Hannah, with him on his special day.

As summer came to an end it was time to start up the Tuesday night doctrinal studies at the Fourniers again! 

Cute happy girlies!

Smilin' blokes!

Laughing, chit chatting and Mom is telling stories

Mrs. Fournier and Elizabeth

Stephanie just popped right in there and surprised Mom!

That's better :)

Telling stories and catching up

Mrs. Kaiser, Christine, and Ashley
We just love the Kaiser family!

They're so precious!

Mr. Kaiser

The Kaiser's made a delicious dinner for us all to enjoy together!

We can't leave the Kaisers without a time of singing!

I do believe we were singing, "Innnnnn Myyyyyy Heeaarrrrt Theerrrreee Rings a Melody!" :)
The Kaiser's have such beautiful voices, it's such a pleasure to sing with them!

Thank you for having us over Kaiser's! We love you and your very dear to us!

The Isle of Stantons: When Strength Fails: I must admit, working at Target when I'm sick with the flu is a very humbling experience. For one thing, I'm about twice as slow and expone...

Fellowship With Church Friends

As summer came to an end the Harrises invited our family and the Fournier family over for a visit!

Stephanie has had a desire to learn to play the harp so she and Hope had a grand time discussing how Hope learned to play.

♥

Felicity played "Fur Elise" for them, it sounded beautiful resounding through the house!

Mary was so kind to supervise Lilya, Honor and Seth as they played outside.

Lilly is massaging Rusty the pig with a stick, he finds it rather soothing.

Daniel took Seth out on the tractor and Seth absolutely loved it!

John and Daniel wanted to make Rusty scream for us. :)

Hannah and Lilya found themselves a frog!

Mrs. Harris was explaining some aspects of the frog and why it enjoys living in the dark mucky water of the pond. Such a wealth of wisdom and knowledge this precious woman has!

After our walk, arriving back at the house, Daniel and John took out the shotguns so we could do some target shooting.

The lovely Mothers, Momma and Mama Harris
 and Hannah of course :)

John is teaching us how to load the gun

and then how to shoot it!

Emily was up next

Mr. Harris explaining some aspects of shooting

She did quite well and shot a  bullseye!

Wow, Stephanie that's pretty impressive!

Mr. Fournier takes his turn on the shooting range 

Mary's turn at shooting

Back at the house the ladies and little people were sitting on the grass in the cool of the evening talking, laughing and....

....Playing croquet

Little English looking lass

All the young ladies,
Jillian, Elizabeth, Emily, Hope, Tabitha, Stephanie, Hannah, Mary, Liberty and Lilly

 

The Harrises made a delicious roast dinner which we enjoyed with some good fellowship to accompany it, and then we ended the night with songs and a time of prayer together.

Thank you so very much Harris family for having us over! It was a very sweet time of fellowship! We love you!
