Stangl Family Visit!!

In February we enjoyed having the Stangl family come down for a visit!! We spent most of Saturday at a local gym playing volleyball. We enjoyed several hours of very fun games of both speed and regular volleyball. One of the last games was a speed game where the teams consisted of; (Team 1) the 4 parents, (Team 2) Seth, Ben, Ellie and Esther and (Team 3) Noah, Elizabeth, Tabitha and Zach. The parents team won!!!!! :)

Before heading to the gym, we had a tea-party!

Place mats.

Goodies.

The fancy ladies and gentlemen.

Naomi and Phoebe eating supper at the gym.

Time together!!

Volleyball.

Group Shot!!

On Sunday afternoon the temperatures were warm, and with abudant sunshine, we headed out for a quick hike in the hills.

Our protection.....

Silas armed himself with a stout stick!! :)
Taking turns carrying the little ones.

Tying shoes....

Racing........

Chasing.......

Climbing.......

and more racing!!

Our house!!

Crossing fences.

Tying shoes........ :)

We ended up at a pond that still had a thin layer of ice over it.

Trying to break through the ice with any available things (rocks, dirt clods, sticks etc...)!!




Thanks for coming, Stangls!! We're looking forward to next time!

I LOVE this post Elizabeth! I love the black, and white pictures, and the one of taking turns carrying the little ones! The effects you put on some of these pictures is really cool! Looks like y'all had a blast! Hip hip hooray for the parents in beating all the youngsters....hmmm....was Ellie having a problem with her shoes coming untied Sunday?!=) Maybe she should find a more secure way of tying them!=) Love, and miss y'all!

Love---Your Adopted Sis'
