Zac's 18th Birthday

Talitha made these....

For Zac's 18th birthday Dad and Mum took us to Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park. We all had such a fantastic day! Even though it was raining. None of us had ever been on a roller coaster before either so when we went on the biggest ride 'Wipe Out' we really were 'wiped out!' It went at 50 mph and was 121ft high!

One of his favourites, Cinnamon rolls.

The Jolly Roger, (which was our least favourite ride!) was 131ft high and is one of the only drop roller coasters in the U.K that had a forced drop at the top. It was crazy!
We all had a really fun day at Pleasurewood Hills and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Blessings,
From the Shepherds

Zac's mug says "Good morning Mr. Handsome"

Every now and then we get a "joke" present given us, this year Zac got this for his!

Mum is always calling Zac a Hero, ....he often "saves the day" just by being in the right place at the right time. It is amazing just how many times Zac has had opportunity to help people out, from car accidents to stepping into a situation where help is needed on the spot.

He is also the only one in our house who prefers white chocolate.

Suffolk Day Out

We had a lovely day out together in Suffolk recently. It was nice to just take a break and enjoy the nice spring weather even though it was still quite cold!
Life is very busy and it's good to be able to take a step back and enjoy the simple, small things in life. Every moment counts, especially as we are all going on and doing different things. We really appreciate it when we are all together and we have lots of fun...

Baptisms!

A few weeks ago, while Rosie was staying with us, we had several of us get baptised! This was very special. Rosie, Nathanael, Magdalene and Berea were baptised! We all sang I have decided to follow Jesus, and when we came home we had a lovely day together. Also Aaron gave his life to the LORD in February, we are all rejoicing for God's goodness to us. He asked Jesus into his heart, Mum and Dad prayed with him, he is so happy he is saved.
