Swimming on Sunday

After Jesus House this morning, and lunch with our gang (no pictures~we had to much to say to take any!), we came back to the basement and spent the afternoon in the pool.
Backstroke ~ Cooper style
this boy has become a fish just like his sister
 super silly
 She looks so much older than 7

Saying "So-long" to the Sandidges

This evening, our Bible Study group had a "Saying So-long to the Sandidges" get together.  We have met together every Friday for the past 4 years ~ mostly to study the Bible, but let's be honest, there was a whole lot of fun going on too!  Our Bible study group was as close as family can be and we are going to miss them dearly.  So, this is not good-bye, but see you later...because we have formed incredible bonds that can't be broken by a few hours of driving and crossing a state line!
getting our swim on!
 of course, with this group any time there is a party ~ food is always a part of it!
 Joel & Kara
