Whirlwind of a Weekend

   Wow, this past weekend was soooo awesome!  On Friday afternoon (about 4 p.m.) my friend, Grace, e-mailed me and said that Bro. Joesph was opening up the new YF gym on Saturday for the youth.  So Daddy said, "How about we get a van of young people together from church and go out for the day?"   By 7:30 p.m. Daddy, Joshua, and I were on our way up to church to pick up seven other young people, Travis, Shelia, Jason, Joanna, Zoe, Abigail, Grace, and Uncle Jake, who volunteered to drive with Daddy.   Everyone was really excited about the trip and at 9 p.m. we headed out on the 10 hour drive to Jeffersonville, Indiana!  Arriving  Saturday morning we grabbed a bite to eat at McDonalds and went down to the Ohio River for Quiet Time.  After a few people :) in our group went for a walk, we were headed for the Gym.  We had a great time playing volleyball, basketball, ninesquare, and cornhole.

When you're having fun you don't think about taking pictures but then when you sit down to post there are no pictures to post!!! :)

   Voice of God Recordings had announced they were having tours from 1-5 p.m. so we went over there and took a tour of the work.  It was very interesting!!! 

On the tour in the printing area.
Almost 3 million books have been printed so far this year.

    At 5 p.m. we started the drive home to Pennsylvania and arrived in Rexmont, PA around three a.m.  Everyone went up to Uncle Jon and Aunt Rebekah's for a few hours sleep before sunrise service at 6:30 a.m. Sunday morning.  For the sunrise service we listened to the Message "I Know" and then at 10 a.m. we had regular service.  After church Uncle Steve and Aunt Jen invited us to their house for lunch.

Bird Update

   Well, two of the purple finch eggs have HATCHED!!!!  We are all so excited!  Right now they are tiny little fuzzy pink things that hardly resemble a beautiful purple finch!  I will be updating on their progress as they grow!

 It looks like there are three eggs still unhatched but that is actually the remainder of a shell.

Momma Birdie needs to clean up!  :)

This a picture of a Purple Finch from the Internet...They are beautiful birds!!
