47 Picture Post

*bashfully slides in* 

*deep breath* Sooo..... I have this thing about hating our camera so I hate taking pictures so unless I really have to or I really feel like it I really don't take any pictures. er. something like that.... Our lives mostly revolve around Lord's Days nowadays, but I have sorely neglected taking pictures and posting about these weekly happenings here, mostly because of the camera thing. Which was why I was so excited when we had Canadian visitors yesterday... Their oldest daughter had an SLR camera, and she took loooots o'pictures... 211 to be exact. And because they came for breakfast this morning, I got to copy her pictures. So, thank Maddi Weachtor (unfortunately we have no idea how to spell their name... if anyone is knowledgeable on this subject, please let us know) for the following pictures... and thank me for not posting all 211. It was tempting. 

Basically, the following is a snapshot (? lame?) into a pretty typical Sunday Afternoon Fellowship time here at Heritage Presbyterian church. I guess we don't get around to the actual "hanging out" until about 4pm, because we have psalm sings or lectures after lunch every week.... and this particular week we gathered at the Stouffers. Forgive the following captions or lack thereof... its 1 am as I'm writing this. Suggestions are welcome. I may or may not bother with last names. Probably in spurts.

 

Natasha!

Kenan! Caroline! Funny faces!

Doesn't that wanna make you smile?

Emma and Claire took some time to fiddle away on the porch.

Back inside the crowd has grown a bit.

I cropped this little exchange between me and Willa out of a larger photo. Don't you wish you knew what we were talking about. I'll give you a hint- "Knitlets"

Laughter abounds and smiles are always present.

Told ya.

And usually card games are as well, although sometimes figuring out what to play can be a problem. ;)

Maddi (photographer), Camille, and Emma. and Willa.

The *corrects herself* younger girls did all the dishes voluntarily twice yesterday. Thanks girls!

More games.

Adorable Joshua Lovett.

Adorable Josiah Howard.

And visible John Walker. In all 211 pictures, this is the only one he was caught off- or un- guarded in. :D

Point made. Also notice the impressive "deer in the headlights" look coming from the right side of the picture. That's Caleb Lovett.

Kaliste Lovett, Tristen W.

Tricia Ann, Maddi

Mrs. Stouffer, Mrs. W, Mrs Lovett consulting maps.

Hey look, Daniel! You made it on the blog again. At least this picture has your face... :)

He's such a deer.

Alright, sooo.... We usually leave fellowship around 8:30 so we can get the kids to bed at a decent hour. But we hear that the later hours can get... late. Right after we leave, they break out another round of snacks. Thanks to Maddi's pictures, I got to see just exactly we missed... and, although we weren't there, I'm going to post pictures of it. Just because I can.  :D

A round of... well, I don't know what. In every single picture the words on the can are covered up. :P
A toast, Mr. Stouffer!

Aiding a good converstaion.

Providing fuel.

Even used to calm the baby. :D

Capable Cook Caroline made DONUTS after we left, too!

On one side of the table there is poise.

On the other side of the table there are boys.

That's better. :D

Sugared up on whatever was in that can and homemade donuts, Twister was the chosen game.

If I knew what sound a deer made, I would type it here. But I don't. Do they make sounds??

Free Advertising. Somehow Daniel was cut out of the shot. He matched, too. :D

Getting later....

Sweeeeeet Hannah

And we end the Sunday evening photos with one of everyone smiling at the ground, most likely the twister game.

The W's are traveling around the US on a vacation in a camper, so they camped in our driveway last night, allowing us to eat breakfast with them. Willa was the main cook, and she did a great job.

Unfortunately, this is the best picture we got this morning. We really enjoyed meeting you, W's! :D Have a safe trip!

Hopefully nobody minds all the pictures... I thoroughly enjoyed looking through them all, Thanks Sooooooooooooooo much, Maddi! Can you tell we LOVE Lord's Days??
