Pines Weekend

Well I just got home from the Pines trip. Thanks to Gene and the camp for letting us come up there, it is great. The second time around was definitely better than last year in my opinion. One big reason was breakfast on Saturday. If you weren't there you can't possibly imagine how good that tasted. We had the usual skeet shooting during the afternoon, highlighted by Phil sending a barrel flying with his big rifle and a guest appearance by Charlie. Saturday night we played Predator and sat in the hot tub, and did some branding. Anyway enjoy the pictures. If any of you guys take pictures with the 3445 "calling cards" email them to me and I will post them. Those should be sweet.

I just got an email from Nathan Driediger. You guys may remember him he cam out to Battalion last month and shared with us about missions. Here is what he had to say:

"Hi everybody,

I just wanted to quickly update you all about our new addition. Yesterday morning (Nov 14) at 6:28 in the morning, we had a little girl. We named her Alyssa Evelyn, and she weighed 6lb 10oz. Sorry I don't have any pictures at the moment because the camera is still in the hospital room. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have the presance of mind to bring it home to send pictures. Both mom and baby are doing great and expect to be home sometime tomorrow. More Later,

Thank you all for your prayers for us as we welcome Alyssa to our family,

Nathan"

Don't forget to pray for them.
