Thankgiving 2017

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving although some couldn't stay the whole time.  I did most of the cooking this year along with help from Esther.  Daniel and Lydia had to leave early as they were going to Lydia's family's.  Evan had been pretty sick but he and Joanna really wanted to be here.  They came but left shortly after as Evan was feeling bad.  It was Abigail's first outing and she did well even with all the noise!

Little Judah Benjamin was born October 5th at 6:45 A.M.!  He was such a healthy little guy and is growing so fast!

Mom delivered him with the help of Lauren Bidlack and Joanna Feldman.

It is so much fun to have another new baby in the family!  So happy for Benjamin and Haley!!!!

Bowling 09-22-17

We had planned to go mini golfing but when we arrived there it had closed for the season so we decided to go bowling!  Since we were going mini golfing we girls had flip flops on so we had to go to the store to get socks for bowling.  A very important detail to Sara and Charity as the socks we got were quite bright!

August 20th we did a Baby Shower for Benjamin and Haley at our church.  I made the cupcakes and mom headed up the little bit of decorating we did!

Back at The House!

We all got back to our house and had a few days together before the Riddles had to go home.

We (Charity, Bristyn, Stephen, Aunt Kim, Sara, Bethany, Aunt Stacy and I) rode our bikes to the little restaurant in Free Soil.  Mom drove the truck in case someone needed a lift!

Aunt Kim is waving to mom!

Lunch was really good after that ride!

Thankfully Grandpa and Grammie's house was able to be worked on!

It looks as though Bristyn was really going at it!

I believe they are having a grand time!

Sadly every one had to go back to their own homes!  Can't wait to be together again!
