The "big" girls having fun at the shower

Denice Erway and Marcie Weiszbrod along with the other Pastor's wives, served as hostesses. They are busy here keeping the guests supplied with cups and plates.

The adorable diaper cake was a gift from Stacy Reed.

Pastor Lacey and Janey Walls

Almost sure Dana isn't hiding out to keep from hosting!

Big Sister, Kathryn got to help Mommy unwrap the gifts


Diapers! What a perfect gift!

Kathryn even got some surprise gifts!

Tough job, but someone HAD to do it so Mom could open gifts!

Thanks to all the ladies who came and helped us welcome this little gift from God to LFA!

Fun in Branson

Pastor Don and Louise at Branson Landing

Linda's sister and her husband, Al, along with his 99 year old mother, surprised us by being in Branson, MO the same day we arrived! They were actually enroute from their home in Texas to Pennsylvania to see Al's son. His mom is an amazing lady. She travels with them wherever they decide to go! I pray that we have that kind of energy when we are 99!

We were in Branson to attend the Oklahoma District Minister's Retreat. Earl Creps was the speaker. He is an amazing man of God! We were so glad we went!

Fun with Alyssa

She was SO excited to see Granddad when he arrived at the airport!

This is great fun!

Granddad and Alyssa enjoying their morning "reading time."


Trip to the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC

No words to describe this feeling!!! There is a reason they are called "Grand!" This was taken on our first "Grandparent's Day!"

Pastor Matt and Marcie Weiszbrod's wedding

We made a quick trip to Salt Lake City Utah to attend our youth pastor's wedding. As you can see it was a lovely setting and we were so happy to witness their vows.

Summer Fun

Dave O'Gwin, Pastor Don, and...you guessed it...Pastor Gary

Pastor Don and Linda

A lot has gone on at LFA this summer. The new building is progressing nicely. We have had many summer activities, including the "Forever Young" trip to Discoveryland last weekend. We had a great time watching an outdoor performance of the musical OKLAHOMA. Here are a few pictures of the evening’s fun.
