An old-fashioned roof raising!

On May 24, 2008 Robert and Melissa Orr invited the church family to an old-fashioned roof raising at their house on St. Andrew's Avenue. About 40 people showed up (including women, children and babies) and we had a barbecue at lunchtime and pizza for supper. Andrew and I got there shortly after 9:00 AM and we didn't leave until about 9:30 With the two breaks for meals we probably put in at least 11 hours of work! There were others who probably did more than 12 hours namely Robert and his dad Harold. What a great time! Thank you Robert and Melissa (and Josiah) for letting us help out.

Birthday cellebration

Jennifer was born on May 5, so this was a belated birthday cake for her since it is the 10th already.
Imogen is almost 5 months old and one tooth on the bottom is starting to come through. I haven't taught her how to shoot baskets yet or even to play ping pong, but she is good at spitting! Also, she is pretty good at pulling my beard and knocking my glasses off. 'Tis a good thing that she coos and smiles while she does so.
