We had a great weekend with the Determan family! John and Beth brought their precious eight children our way to enjoy the Stratford Peach Festival, home church and fellowship. The weather this weekend has been very hot and extremely humid making it just perfect for a water fight! Mr. Determan bravely took on five Elliott children and seven Determan children with his super huge water soaker. They all got totally wet and had a blast! The children all had fun riding bikes, running amuck on the porch, playing with big Lego's, "big house" people, dolls and coloring. It is delightful how well the children all play together.

We find that some of our best fellowship comes when a family is able to stay with us. John and Beth are doing a wonderful job raising their children for the Lord. God's handiwork shows in all that they do. My big girls and I love visiting with Mrs. Determan. She has a fabulous sense of humor and is so transparent. We just love her! Brent truly enjoys Mr. Determan's company. They have a lot in common and both enjoy hunting greatly. The entire Elliott family loves all the little Determan's, so being with their family works for us all. We are blessed to be counted among their friends.

Our time with the Determan's blessed us beyond measure. We are looking forward when we can all get together again for another "sleep over" this fall. We love you Determan family!
