Family Vacation 2012!!

 In September we went to VA beach for family vacation. We had lots of good time playing in the water and just making memories together.

One morning Delmar and Lauren gave Mom a gift.. it was a box with an egg inside. Mom cracked the egg open and there was a slip of paper saying that Delmar and Lauren are going to have a baby! :) The reactions were fun to watch! :)

Hilda's Baby Shower

A couple of weeks ago we had a baby shower for Hilda.. we were planning to have it outside but it was rainy.  So we moved it in to new empty building that we have on a farm. It all worked out great! :)

       On September 25th Zachery Michael was born! He was 3 week early but is doing great! Hopefully i can get some pics of him on here soon!

The Stoltzfoos Tribe

Last week our whole family was finally together for the first time since Charlene got back from Paraguay. There had been family things but there was always somebody not there.. so it was great to have everybody together again.

the whole group!!

Can you hear the prayer of the children, on bended knee in the shadow of an unknown room? Empty eyes with no more tears to cry...turning heavenward toward the light.
 Crying, "Who will help me to see the morning light of one more day?"

                        Reaching hands with nothing to hold onto, but hope for a better day.

Can you hear the voice of the children, softly pleading for silence in their shattered world?

Can you HEAR the prayer of the CHILDREN??
