On the first of September, for Labor Day Weekend, our family went on a camping trip.
It’s so wonderful living on 200 acres! You practically have your own national forest! ð
Helping Daddy set up camp! ð
Preparing the tent.
If you are a member of the Discher family, you must bring your instrument!
Heartbreak! <3

These two are like two peas in a pod.

During the first week of September, Michael’s sister, his brother-in-law , and two brothers visited.
One day, we picnicked at Dawt Mill
Patiently waiting for lunch.
Beautiful flowers at the Mill!
Hello, you fine fellows!
Lovely!
Julia and Brian.
Then we went swimming! ð
Wow… What a face!
Emma dug herself a little “cave home”.
Resting.

I love this picture of Grace!

One night Esther and Rg came out for awhile.:) We are so excited about their little one coming in March!
While Julia was here we had a Girls day out in Branson!
We visited a few shops, ate lunch and had a jolly good time of it!
That’s the truth.
Kitty found her entire Desert Rose Tea Set!
Benches are such obliging things!
Where to next, dears?
The taffy shop, of course!
How much do you want for the whole barrel?
Restocking our candy supplies.
We stopped at little ice cream shop!
On the 15th, Emma Jane turned seven. We had her and Paul’s party that night.
The birthday cuties.
Kitty and Darling Ellie!
Blow!
Wuv…
And finally, on September 21st, 2013, Gracie entered into a courtship with Dylan Underwood.
Grace met Dylan in July at the Soveriegn Grace Youth Camp. They were both counselors, and had many things in common. Since then, we have been seeing much of their family. Dylan is a wonderful man of God and we are very excited to see what the Lord will do through this relationship! ð
Of course Rose was peeking out the window, Michael was taking a glance here and there and I was nobly taking pictures for the rest of the family since they weren’t here for the big event ð
Seems that she must have a chaperone
When we go out no matter where we’re bound
There’s always somebody around “She brings her father, her mother
Her sister and her brother
Woah, I never see Maggie alone
She brings her uncle, her cousin
She’s got ’em by the dozens
You know that’s why I never see Maggie alone”
There are two tradtions in our family when a courtship begins. One, the couple has their picture taken in front of the fireplace (notice the lovely necklace – a gift from Dylan). And two, the couple goes milk the cows together at least once! ð
Some of our Autumn harvest!
Aha! Now you know the reason for the interesting Blog Title! ð
In all seriousness,though. Please pray for our family as we go through this season of change. ð
Thanks for stopping by!

[…] Camp this past July where they were both counsellours. Dylan asked permission to court Grace in September. We are so thankful that the Lord has brought someone into Grace’s life who will love her as […]
Oh! I did not know that Gracie was courting. This is such special news! I hope all goes well for them!
Enjoyed your pictures very much. Milking cows sounds like an amusing courtship tradition.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
