Great friends

We were so blessed last weekend to have our sweet friends from our youth ministry days in Elkhart come and dive in for a work day with us! It was wonderful to have all those extra hands helping us on our "fixer upper." They scraped paint, weeded, prepared landscaped areas for edging, and dug trenches to bury our downspouts under the sidewalk.
This photo does not even begin to show how tough these guys worked at burying this downspout under the sidewalk. They were all pushing, pulling, yelling, and brainstorming to get the job done. Even Emma was in awe of the process...

Thank you Goodriches and Fultons for coming to visit and help us. We love you guys!
