A Visit from the Palmers and Bartons

Last week our friends from Pennsylvania, the Palmers, and their daughter and her family, the Bartons, came for a visit. We really enjoyed having them here!

Mama with little Caitlyn - always such a happy baby!

Cody had a lot of fun with this train set

Julie and Caitlyn

Rebekah, Mrs. Palmer, and Melissa spent a lot of time crocheting and knitting while we visited. Someone had given Mrs. Palmer a crocheted hand towel and she wanted to learn how to duplicate it.

The finished products

Sarah and Cody

Bro. Palmer preached at our church one Sunday, and at another church near us the following Sunday. On Wednesday he spoke at our church's Men's Meeting. At the same time, we had a Ladies' Meeting at our house with Mrs. Palmer.

A few of us had a class upstairs with the younger children.

Playing together afterwards

The little ones enjoyed sweet Caitlyn!

Building block houses big enough to play inside of was a big hit!

That afternoon the guys did some target shooting.
