Fall Fun Night!

Thanks to our great brother-in-law Brent Gellos, we now have a functional volleyball court in the barn hayloft.

Caleb and Eli battle it out in this volleyball duel.

Thanks for coming everyone, we had a great time and we hope you did as well.

First Album

-

Back in August of 2007, the Heirs of Grace singing group was formed of young people from our church. My dad has headed up several teen singing groups at our church now and has done a great job with every one!

The Heirs of Grace recorded a selection of some of their favorite songs, and today they are available on the CD album Aspire.

The children in our family that were involved in the creating of this CD are, Rick, Kaitlyn, Elizabeth and Emily.

If you are interested in purchasing a CD, you can contact my dad at: richmcdonnell@juno.com

Below is the cover for the CD as well as a sample of all the songs:

The Dave Young Family

I got to do a family photo shoot for Evangelist Dave Young yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed not only the photography, but the good fellowship with his lovely family.

Charity is adorable!

Mr. Jacob...

Windows to the Heart

Proverbs 15:30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart...

For those of you who want to bring this picture up in another browser window and try to figure out what eyes belong to whom...here are three hints: 1. All the eyes are in the McDonnell family (except Brent and Kaitlyn of course.) 2. There are exactly 4 pictures of each member of our family in the frame. 3. Baby Emily is not in any of the pictures.

Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available. ~Jim Beggs

If you don't start out the day with a smile, it's not too late to start practicing for tomorrow.
