2009 Graduate!Elizabeth graduated from High School this Spring, but we didn't get to celebrate until September!!
Elizabeth had two wishes for her graduation party-- to have lots of fruit, and to play volleyball-and she got both!!! We were blessed with the multitude of loving friends who joined us in our celebration!!
Lydia made the beautiful fruit bouquet!! After she started, she got called away to attend to Will, so Rebecca added the finishing touches!!
We were able to get a great deal on melons from a local farmer--- canteloupe, watermelon, honeydew and crenshaw melons!!
Helping cut up fruit.
Aunt Charity & Philip.
The beautiful and edible bouquet!!
Lots and lots of melon rinds!
Balloons from Dad.
Dad shared an exhortation and scripture for Elizabeth.
Tabitha joined Elizabeth in singing a duet "My Hope is in the Lord".

Phoebe helping set out food.
More then a teacher-- a counselor, confidant & friend.

What a blessing to have many helpers working in the kitchen!! Thanks for your help!
Saturday night we were grateful to have out-of-town friends join us overnight. Sunday morning we had a precious time of worship together. We had the service outside because there were too many people to fit in our living room!!
