There is a house on South 3rd Street that has become a special place for our church. Our pastor and family are moving in to this home today, asamatteroffact, and the offices for the church are on the top floor. One day we had a meeting in the house. We all sat on the floor in a couple of the bare rooms and talked. And then, this happened.

The kids were running around, we were mingling and standing on the porch in the sunshine… and it just felt like home. It just felt like family.

I took a few headshots of people to use for a project for the church. Look at these good-looking Avenue-ites!

And then it was play time.

Play time for the big kids too… apparently

Little boys. Give them a big stick, and they are happy for hours.

So these next photos are the last pictures taken before I became Lee’s fiance the next night! I had no idea what was about to happen the next day– but apparently a lot of the people at this meeting did! I’m going to post some of the pics from the night we got engaged soon!
