Memorial Day Picnic

Last Monday was a blessed and encouraging day spent at the precious Brown family's home. Christie and Isaac were courageous in making the four hour drive- and were gracious to let Hannah and I tag along! We drove down Sunday morning and sat in on the NCFIC Road Trip kickoff. It was wonderful to hear the speakers and get a taste of our upcoming conference in Atlanta.

Monday was a beautiful day of fellowship, food, music, and wonderful speakers. It was sobering to reflect on the lives lost for our freedom. We have so much to be thankful for! And it certainly hasn't come without a cost.


The start of the day...

There was quite a crowd. It was wonderful meeting and enjoying the fellowship of so many members of the body of Christ!

A few of the speakers:

The music:

The Smith family

The Kendall ladies

Gleaning wisdom from the wise:

The wisdom Hannah and I were instructed to carry home: "don't compromise! Wait for the right one"

Fellowship and Fun:

Prentiss and Anna

Anna admiring her big brother's rescuer, Dr. Kendall

We went for dinner with our dear friends, the Kendall's, and had a sweet time of fellowship!

Davina looks a little suspicious :)

Between dinner and dessert, we took the kiddos to a park to burn some energy. We ladies enjoyed each others company while Isaac played a combination of volleyball, baseball, and soccer with the girls and William. Quite entertaining!

I can just hear little William saying it now in his adorable accent...Anna Bell!

To conclude a wonderful day, we went for ice cream with Phillip and Katie Bradrick. Hannah and I enjoyed listening to Christie and Katie discuss babies and motherhood preparations. So exciting!

Thank you Phillip for the picture; and thank you both for the encouraging fellowship!

Isaac's incentive for having us packed and in the car by 6am- Starbucks! He knew it required extreme measures :)
