Dunkin’ Donuts

July 18th, 2010

All in the Willis household rejoice – A Dunkin’ Donuts has come to town!

Now, whenever our family visits, we can pick up some freshly baked bagels and delicious coffees and lattes, as generally was our tradition in New York (we lived 5 minutes from a Dunkin’ Donuts). Huzzah!

:-D

Girls’ Night – Book Study

July 1st, 2010

We make goodies and desserts, such as Angie’s cherry scones…

…add some fresh wild flowers (sweet peas) to the decor…

…and begin our study of Debi Pearl’s Preparing to be a Help Meet (read about it here). I’m really enjoying this book! There’s a lot of wisdom in what Mrs. Pearl writes.

Afterwards we have fun and enjoy each other’s company!

~Conversation

~Our group, minus a few.

~Laughter.

It’s so wonderful to have wholesome discussion and fellowship with our sisters in Christ!

Happy July! Can you believe it’s here already? Insane!

The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

We love card games!

Overdue Post #2

June 23rd, 2010

Or simply summed up as “Photoshoot, Fun, and Farewell”!

Since Esther and I had bought matching shirts at Wal-Mart, we knew that sometime during her stay we simply had to do a photoshoot! It wasn’t until the last day she was with us that we finally got around to it. We had a lot of laughs, as well as a few surprises, courtesy of a certain brother of mine… This is what we came up with;

As it turns out, the train station, and the train which would bear Esther back home, wasn’t too far from my brother’s house, so we drove up for the night and visited for a short time.

Then, it was time to say goodbye.

Farewell, Esther! I hope you had a good time, and I’m so glad you came!

They Were Here…

May 24th, 2010

They left heavy tracks and signs everywhere…

Beware! and stay indoors. Otherwise, you may stumble upon a crouched camouflaged figure or two with – airsoft guns!

Yeah, we had an airsoft battle the other day… :-D This picture was practically the only one taken that day. We must’ve been having fun!

Notes and Lists

May 21st, 2010

Just where would we be without them? :-)

~A very common sight in our this household

~an old list (although I do plan to go riding today if it stops raining!)

Do you use lists and notes like these? I don’t know what I’d do without them! Most important on my agenda today is laundry. And cleaning my room, come to think of it.

Weekend Snapshots

May 1st, 2010

(from last weekend. Oops! I’m so behind)

Somebody turned the big “1″…

Somebody turned 13 – two special numbers this year!

We saw Emily play the part of Jane Bennett in a Pride and Prejudice musical, and visited with her family afterwards (Angie got into the spirit of things and dressed up for the performance).

We visited with a dear family we hadn’t seen in a long time…

…and got a little silly…

I think Josh took a cue from our examples;

:-D Have a happy weekend!

The Inevitable

April 4th, 2010

We break from our “Spring Vacation” series to bring you breaking news…

I went to church today to discover that, after being gone for just 9 days, my “little brother” is not little anymore – he’s taller than me!

(that was suppose to be a sad face, but I couldn’t help keep from laughing!)

*sigh* I held on for as long as possible, but he has at last surpassed me. Such is the story of my life. :-P

Happy Resurrection Day everyone! Enjoy this beautiful day, and never forget what Jesus did for us on the cross!
