Visit with the Gellos'

Mr. & Mrs. Gellos made a surprise visit a couple of weeks ago, and came for Brent's ordination service. Kay and Brent were so pleasantly surprised! (the rest of us knew they were coming.)

And then to make things even better, Rick surprised us all, and drove up with them.


As you can tell, Mom had no idea about this surprise.


The kids enjoyed going on a bike ride with Mr. Gellos...


...as well as playing some basketball.

Having fun playing 'Crook.'

Laughing at one of the pictures that was snapped.

I know this picture of Nate is just begging for an interesting caption, but since my creativity has left me for the moment, I'll just leave you to enjoy the picture. :-)

Potato Creek Park

The day before MusiCollege, we were able to go on an outing with the Wesco family and a few of the Walsh's. We had a great time exploring the park and having fun together.

MusiCollege 2009!

Karisse and Lizzy enjoyed the opportunity to practice some violin pieces together.

At lunch break.
Much thanks to the Wesco families for providing wonderful meals during MusiCollege.

Ron Hamilton leading the choir in the final concert. (Thanks to Brian Sikma for taking pictures while we were singing in the choir)


The choir was smaller than normal, but it was still such a blessing to hear so many people singing praise to our Lord!


After the MusiCollege concert, we went over to McD's to fellowship for a little while longer.
