Last night was Greeley's celebration and it was a lovely time. We drank, ate, and were merry until dusk. Eric and I love our friends and feel like we belong to a community of people who challenge us and accept us for what we are-crazy.
There's the Mash clan, little Cecily was sporting some awesome temporary Crabtree Brewery tattoos...
Then Everette was spitting peas with Kathy...
When we are all together, we just take care of the kids like we were one big family. It's a lot of fun until Eric begins introducing them to beverages like beer and wine...
Kathy started feeding Erin a hot dog and it was pretty funny watching her open her mouth like a dog waiting for Kathy to give it to her.
Erin sure does love alcohol. Today she went up to the communion table with Deborah and audibly said "wine, drink it?" It's all cute until the congregation starts wondering if Erin drinks beer and wine on a regular basis. But even though many feel like Christians who drink beer and wine are "bad" we believe that beer and wine bring people together in real community. You should read the article Michael, our pastor, wrote about our church brewing beer. He says it better than I do. Oktoberfest was a perfect example of what Michael was saying.
It's good to be in Greeley and belong to a community like ours. At least until the smell comes back...
On a funny note, I want to share with you what Kathy drew on my iPhone this morning during church. She usually doodles on paper while she listens, so I went to the iPhone App store and got this free drawing program. She has quite the knack for cute pictures!
