Announcement!

And just because I had a lot of favorites to choose from, I thought I'd share some of the other fun pictures we took yesterday.

Let me just say, it's no piece of cake to get four kids looking at a camera at the same time.  Then, add a two-year-old to the mix who is supposed to hold a piece of a paper with all of the words showing, and you've got a down-right photo challenge on your hands!





He finally gave up and we all burst out laughing!!!  What a fun, family memory!

  60. Congratulations!! I'd heard hints on Facebook, so now can be "officially" excited!!

    I got to watch Bro. David's sermon the other day - it was excellent and I'll probably go back to hear it again later on. I also heard you guys sing a special one day. It's so cool having technology!!!

    We'll be praying for all of you and can't wait to hear updates on the newest Sloan!

    In Christ,

    Bro. Garry
