Ringing in 1991

A noon year's celebration in 1991. Stacy and Hayden are fully invested. Morgan and George a bit less so.

First Dance

Happy anniversary to Cindy and George. 1983

 

Let the Battle Be Joined!

Adam and George concluded Sunday School with the Pharaoh and his general ready for battle. Teacher Cindy said it didn't really have anything to do with their lesson, but they were having fun.
 

Family Story Time

The Children's Conversation consisted only of Morgan great-grandchildren on Sunday. Adam, George and Libby enjoyed Pastor Michael's story.
 

Fruits of the Spirit

George and Adam helped make smoothies from fruits of the spirits - generosity (oranges), patience (cherries), gentleness (strawberries), self-control (peaches), peace (pears) and kindness (applesauce) during Sunday School. The smoothie looked weird but it tasted good. For you theologians, it's based on Paul's message to the Galatians about acting with the fruits of the spirit in mind.
 

Sunday Lunch Bunch Returns

We had a Sunday lunch again finally. Kerns, Donnellys and Cochrans particiapted. Cecilia however didn't embrace the photo op.
 

Blessing the Animals

Libby and Adam brought their stuffed animals to be blessed. George joined in the blessing during our Blessing the Animals part of the service yesterday.
 

A Bit of Axe Throwing

The younger kids experienced axe throwing at the church picnic. Thankfully it was mostly harmless although we had some close calls because the axes may have been plastic but it was hard plastic. Colin walked around throwing axes to the pavement but George, Libby and Adam had some stick in the target.
 

Anniversaries Celebration

We celebrated the 40th anniversaries of Cindy and George and Scott and Kathleen with cake and a party. Cindy and George will be 40 years on September 24 and Scott and Kathleen on October 8.
 

Libby Is 4!

We celebrated Libby's 4th birthday with a picnic in her backyard. She needed George's help blowing out the candles as Topher looked on. The cousins enjoyed lunch together.

 

Mayor's Prayer Breakfast

Dad liked to have us all at the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast in Kansas City. Cindy and George attended in February 1983. It looks like Hayden has a can opener. Probably something from Mom's purse.

 

Double Celebration

We celebrated the birthdays of George and Morgan yesterday at Sunday lunch. Today is actually their birthdays. It was an extraordinary candle.

 

Return of Sunday Lunch Bunch

We met at Porter Park to continue our COVID safety protocols. I don't actually think we would fit in anybody's house now anyway. We had the addition of Topher and Dylan (middle below) and their parents. Trying to get a group shot went about as well as you would expect. It was great fun though.

 

Libby Is 2

We celebrated Libby Donnelly's 2nd birthday with a lovely backyard party. Lowell and Topher joined her brother George for cake.

 

We Are Super!

Amazing! Once again this year's Chiefs made us despair before they pulled it off. The cousins were ready, showing their support.

First Cousins, Second Cousins

First cousins above with the next generation below. Thanksgiving fun.

We have first cousins Lowell and Adam who are second cousins with Libby and George.

Dinos and Donuts

Nephew George celebrated his 3rd birthday with a dinos and donuts party at the park. A little wet but enthusiasm was umdampened.

Sunday Bunch – Take 2

The second attempt to get a cousin photo during Sunday lunch. The effort is hilarious. See the first attempt here.

Growing Lunch Bunch

The Sunday lunch bunch is becoming a lively event with these cousins.

Artistic Crew

The crew dyeing the eggs for Easter. Lowell and Adam were kibitzers but George took a turn with the dye.
