Friends From Far and Near

We had some friends from Oregon, Ohio, Indiana, and Lebanon over for brunch and fellowship

We love eating outside during the summer!

We had Brother Paul, Sister Holly, Angela, Aaron, Josiah, Grandpa, Grammy, Aunt Rebecca, Abigail, Lincoln, and Bethany over for brunch one morning too.





Brother Paul and Sister Holly were at a family reunion in WV, and got to spend a few days in PA before heading home.

Benaiah's first time to visit PA

Kaitlyn and Benaiah flew in for the week so everyone could meet little Benaiah before he's out of the newborn stage  

  

 Benjamin's first time meeting Benaiah  

 One day Grandmommy and Grandpoppy met us at Longwood Gardens for the afternoon...

Such a little flower.

 After Longwood we met Pop-Pop, Mom-Mom, Brother Buster, and Sister Hazel at Pats for Pizza.

    

Benaiah Matthew Strite

Justin and Kaitlyn's little Benaiah Matthew has arrived at 8 lb. 6 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long!

He's such a cutie pie with a wonderful disposition.

Mommy, Hope, Elainah, and Serenah flew to Arizona the day after Benaiah was born to help Kaitlyn.  A week later, Daddy and David came for the day to meet Benaiah.  

A few days after they left, Grandmommy, Joy, and I flew to Arizona for a week.   We had so much fun with Justin, Kaitlyn, and adorable Benaiah.
