Picture time–by Schylie

Our time with the Newells was wonderful. We had a lot of nice downtime, playing games and just chatting. On Friday, we girls joined the Newell kids for a church youth group excursion to Carowinds, a theme park only a few hours away. It was a warm day, but so much fun. Saturday evening was spent having dinner with some friends of the Newells. At some point that day, Mama found a large tick embedded in her leg. She assumed that it had been there since Tuesday, the day we spent outside with Alan. Christie helped her remove it, and so far she seems fine. On Sunday, we attended church with the Newells in the morning and visited a PCA church in the evening. It was a wonderful Lord’s Day and we were warmly greeted by many. We left early this morning, around 7am. The whole family waved us out while Titus played his bagpipes for us. It was a sweet moment. Today, we drove a 12 hr day to New Jersey for a visit with our dear friends–Lamar, Tamy, and Malik. We anticipate a lovely visit with them, leaving on Thursday.

Here are some pictures from the last week or so.
