....Papa is eatin' his five donits!

Good night, sleep TIGHT....

...exactly what Annick has to do! Ever since the bars under her bottom bunk broke, she has had to tighten the ropes every now and then. She says it is actually quite comfortable and very springy. However, Annick has been very firm on the idea, that if any of my top bunk bars fall off, that bed is oughta here!

(Disclaimer: Annick is not 'spoiled rotten'. The pillow was free, and is very comfy, in case you were wondering...)

Sunday Concert

In the evening, everyone gathered to hear more music!
(Hmm, I wonder if they will make another CD soon...)

Thank you for ministering to us, Wissmann family!
God's blessings on you as you bless others!

Volleyball!

Josiah Hyslop loves to get his picture taken!

Everyone loves to watch that ball!

Go Trina!


Singing around the piano: (l to r) Hannah, Susanna, Abby, Annick, Catrina, and Evvie

The Sunday after our evening at the Jasters, found us attending a church service in Novi, where the Wissmanns were performing. Mr. Wissmann gave a great talk on the importance of family and the need for the family to be unified. The family sang, and we all partook of a Mexican lunch provided by the church (very yummy!). And those of us who were staying for the evening concert, relaxed in the beautiful outdoors, played volleyball, and went for a walk.

With the Jasters and Wissmanns

We enjoyed a lovely evening of fellowship at the Jaster home. The Wissmann family parks their bus at the Jasters when they are on tour. A delicious meal was eaten (thank you Mrs. Jaster, Ruth, and helpers!), and as the four of us brought our instruments, the Wissmann brothers happily pulled theirs out, and we had a regular 'jam session'! Josiah Jaster joined in as well on guitar, and Bethany played a piece on Evvie's harp.
