Celebration at St. David's

Bringing a family to church where baptism helps many realize the importance of raising children in the ways of the Lord!!

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Family!!

Little Juliet was 3 weeks old when her cousin, Amelie, was born. Amelie was born May 16, 2011, at 6 lbs. 13 oz. For being just 3 weeks apart, you can definitely see the size difference in age.
Ella, Wyatt and Juliet will be great friends with their cousin Amelie growing up.
Ella enjoys also, holding her little sister Juliet.

Getting Ready for Church!!

Anyone that has 3 or more children, know that getting ready for church takes more time with three little ones. BUT you know this is a good foundation for them. Hearing the stories they tell, coming out of their Sunday school classes are definitely precious memories.

Grandchildren are the Best!

This past month, these are the little munchkins that I've been having fun with. Wyatt (below), who is 21 months, is all boy and
loves to get into whatever he's not to get into. Ella (below) who is 3 1/2 years old,
loves to have her toenails and fingernails painted. Above is Juliet Annaleigh Wills. She was 8 lbs 8oz and 20 1/4 " long, born April 26, 2011 at 2:25 p.m. Both Ella, Wyatt and parents are adjusting to having 5 in the household. Grandma
Sue, on the other hand, has been enjoying the time with the grandchildren and children (adjusting too!!). Ron and Shannon have had the opportunity to go out on a date night, which I am happy for them to be able to do that. Ella and Wyatt have gone with me, several times to the park. We slide down the slide and climb up the bars. Yep!! You're right!! Grandma gets tired!! Oh yeah, so do Ella and Wyatt!!

"THERE'S MORE TO COME!!!!"

Back At Wycliffe Hall!!

We've met so many new people at Wycliffe, that names do escape me, but these gentleman were getting ready also go back to their universities, one (left) was going back to Gordon College and the other (right) was to be flying out to Zimbabwe.

The Spiral staircase was used twice in the last 2 weeks, because of the fire alarms. On the right is a statue on the central building. It reminds me of 2 sets of boots facing the sky. Someone wants to walk in the clouds. That's probably not what it is, but that's the way I remember it.

Keble College,Pitts River Museum & Museum of Natural History

Keble Chapel is across the street from the Oxford Museum of Natural History and the Pitts River Museum. Below, you see Steve standing in front of the Keble Chapel. Can you imagine being the pastor of a church like that?

Standing in front of these museums, which we haven't had the opportunity to visit, have these massive tree trunks. You wonder how they dug those out.
Passing these magnificent buildings every day for almost 4 weeks, I'm amazed at the architecture, but the know how also. I thank God for the sunshine He provided for most of our time in Oxford. Can you tell by the photos we had a sunny day?
