Our family from a different angle

The wedding of Stephen and Evelyn
v
v






Anna, socializing with her little friends...
v
Ben caught the camera! Or is that my cousin? Or older brother? :o)
v

Ruth hands out the birdseed to eager young hands...Virgil Jr. demonstrates the proper way to throw birdseed so that the bride or groom don't lose an eye :o)
Everett, brother of the bride waits patiently for the fun send-off...
Yes, whoever was in charge of the birdseed department, did their job quite well!

Time to take off!
As I overheard one of the young men remark "This could be a dangerous ride!"


Nathaniel and nephew say goodbye...
Watching as they fade into the sunset...sniff, sniff "parting is such sweet sorrow"


Prayer alert...
v
v
To all our friends, if you could keep our church in your prayers, we had quite a Sunday yesterday.
v
The major incident, was that one of our church buses was involved in a pretty bad crash.
v
Praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy, nobody was killed!
v
v
Also, during a basketball game after the evening service, one of our men fell wrong and received a major compound break to his leg/ankle and went in for immediate surgery.
v
If you could pray:
v
1. That there would be no lasting injuries from the bus crash.
v
2. That nobody would be emotionally or spiritually damaged by this incident.
v
3. That the church members would all handle it properly.
v
4. That Jeff would have an amazingly fast recovery on his ankle.
v
5. That Jesus Christ would be praised and never doubted in all of our ponderings on why this happened.

Fun with the Arnold Family...
v
Recently, with the awesome fall weather to back us up, we have had the opportunity to do a few activities with the Arnolds.
v

You can't beat a blazing campfire on a chilly October night!
v
Um, the mighty woodsman...I guess.

v
"Just take the S'more and step back!"

When we found out that a medieval style sword was available, some of us boys just couldn't resist the temptation of a "battle".


"He floats through the air..."
v
Just holding a heavy metal sword makes you feel like you are in a different time period!
v
A major "Whoops" moment....
v
But revenge is quick...
b
b
Two near misses at the same time...
cz
Sword swallowing? No problem!
v
"Ooh looky! He wears a size 10!"
v
"You've got something stuck in your teeth, let me help you out!"
v
Fellow photographer, Levi...
v
Matt thinks through his next move of whatever board game we were playing at the moment...
v
Ever wonder what it looks like from his perspective?
v
Mrs. Arnold outdid herself with an amazing breakfast that looked like it fell off the pages of a Country Living magazine.
v
v
Emmy, Nikki and Liz...
v
Mr. Arnold discussing something with Brent...(not pictured)
(for a reason)
(sorry, that was mean)
(Oh who cares? He stole my only big sister!)
(Why am I putting everything in brackets?)
v
Good friends...
v
Whoa! A camera!
v

Always time for climbing a tree!
v
Uh, Matt, I think you are a little bit to heavy for that particular tree!
v
Who says teen guys can't have fun playing leap frog? Just amp it up a little, and play over a standing six footer!
v
One sweeeeeet bike!

v
Peel'n out!

v
L to R: Jack, Levi, Matthew
v
Ghost Rider!
