Video for the week.

Hello Folks,

.

It's been a full week.  I am still learning so much about ... EVERYTHING! 

.

Over the last week we got to participate in the Pilgrim March. Some of you might remember that from a couple of years ago, should you be with me that long. Anyway, it was a great time to walk in the same pathways and roadways our forefathers walked. It was a time to pray the prayers they prayed and sing the psalms they sang.  It was a time to think on where we have come since then. 

.

I've gotta run. 

.

As always, 

Love in Christ Jesus,

Michael & Rebekah Thomas

After a short intro, is some footage of our time as pilgrim.

Well, I guess that's better

"Two are better than one, 
       because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down, 

       his friend can help him up. 
       But pity the man who falls 
       and has no one to help him up!"Ecclesiastes

All garbed up and ready to go

Captain standish and the jolly Murray giant history failed to record

How time has changed since then

A time to remember the past 

A time to ponder today

A time to plan for the future

A 50th & 25th in one

In which we arrive at the Todd & Ann's house to celebrate Ann's ALMOST 50th Birthday & their  ALMOST 25th anniversary

Examining pictures from the time when Todd & Ann looked rather different and yet, somehow, quite the same

Then ...

... and now. Congratulations to you both!

My parents. (Of course, if I showed a picture of THEIR wedding, you wouldn't have recognized them either)

Sharing life, school experiences and the big questions of "where to from here?"

My parents!

What's a party without ...

... Yes, a little dancing

The floors are cleared

The volunteers return

Our generous hosts kick the evening off with a lesson of contra dancing (for these pics, thanks to my siblings for their coverage, since I was FAR to busy dancing to actually shoot)

Family!

A new family

Laughter rang across the porch and lawn

people danced and smiles put on

Just think, a great lion once roamed these grassy knolls

A great game in which questions were asked of the couple (like "Who was more stressed out on your wedding day?). The synchresy (to coin a phrase) of their guesses was absolutely great!
