A Fond Farewell

Yesterday my family threw us a great going away party at Kevin and Deanna's (my oldest brother and his wife) new house. It was great to see so many of our family and friends together in one place. It made the thought of saying goodbye all the more difficult, but it was truly a blessing for us. Below are some pictures and words of explanation for each.

Above are some "Scottish Eggs." They are Scotish because if you eat too many, you'll get "kilt." They are hard-boiled eggs, wrapped in sausage, covered with egg, breaded, and then fried beyond recognition. They're "cardio-licious!"
Here, Delaney and her cousins simply roll down a hill. There was pavement at the bottom of this hill. The process went like this: 1) Roll down hill; 2) Hit pavement quite hard; 3) Laugh at another's wounds;

4) Repeat until physically incapable.

Above, Hannah does her impersonation of Hanibal crossing the Alps. How she had such an intricate knowledge of the historic battles between Rome and Carthage was a mystery to all in attendance. Thank you, Hannah.

Looking up you will see Tim standing beside the Scottish flag. He thinks he looks like William Wallace. He does not. At all. In any way. Please do not encourage him.

Tim's brother Kyle (left) stands with our our highschool friend Jeff. We had not seen him for 12 years. He heard there was food so he came. Just kidding. It was great to catch up with Jeff the Moocher. Again, kidding.

We are so thankful for everyone. Many of the family only made it on the video camera and are not posted here. Their words of encouragement and gifts of support meant the world to us! Praise the Lord for friends and family.
