Pitchford Family Update (It's about time!!)

Well, we have not done so well at keeping this current. We apologize, but life has been crazy. Here are some pics from our past few months in Arkansas. We had a time of blessing for Joshua with our friends in Conway. It was a beautiful time to celebrate our special little boy. We have visited with various friends and have been enjoying life in general. Hope you enjoy these photos.

Our friends Marie and Pat put on an amazing spread of food afterwards.
