Family Reunion in Lancaster

It was so fun to see my mom's side of the family early last week!  We met up at Shady Maple Smorgasboard (of course!), and then went shopping in Lancaster.  What a blast!

Wednesday Bible Study

We've been holding our weekly Wednesday Bible Study at our home throughout the summer.  Here are a few pics.  As you can see, our living room is crowded with all the people that attend!  Praise the Lord!  Everyone is enjoying the more intimate setting; it allows for more interaction and fellowship.

 

Shady Maple

Forgot to post these earlier, but my Uncle Jim, Aunt Diana, and cousin Bethany came to visit us in late July.  They took us to Shady Maple for dinner.  It was a blast!

Friday Fun!

All of us Burtt gals went on a special shopping outing on Friday after the conference! 

 

 We went to Fuddruckers for lunch :)  Yum!

 

We met up with the guys for dinner at Culvers...

 

What a fun day!

A Special Treat from Grandma

My grandparents also attended the Christ Life Clinic, so Grandma decided to treat all of us girls to manicures and pedicures during one of the afternoon break times.  Thanks, Grandma!  What a special treat!

 

 I was super tired that day, so the relaxing pedicure/manicure was just what I needed.

 

 

 

Christ Life Clinic

We had the opportunity to travel to Michigan for the Christ Life Clinic this year! 

 

It was great to hear the preaching...very challenging and encouraging :)

BOTH of our families were at the conference, so it was like a BIG family reunion!  It was refreshing to see family again :)

 

I was asked to accompany Mary Lynn Van Gelderen for her solos each night...what an honor!  You can kinda see me at the piano in this pic :)

 

The conference was such a blessing!  Can't wait till next year!
