Skiing Trip to the NC Mountains

 
Jeff and Denise Neigel along with their two daughters Karlie and Lyndsy, invited Brad, Beth, Savanna and Ali to join them for a skiing trip to the NC mountains.  Neither Savanna nor Ali had ever skied before, but they still had a wonderful time in the snow.

Now which one is Savanna and which one is Ali?
Even more important, who is that sitting on her "butt" after a fall? 
 
 
Can you tell by the eyes?

Pesach / Passover
 
Savanna, Ali, and their parents attend Covenant Bible Church in Lincolnton, NC - as do their maternal grandparents.  Beit Yeshua (a Messianic Jewish-Roots group at Covenant) hosts a Pesach/Passover Seder at the church annually.  Brad, Beth, Savanna and Ali are always there.  Ali's grandfather, Curtis Loftin, co-leads Beit Yeshua.
 
Curtis works with last-minute preparations at the low-seating tables
 
Shofarot are sounded at the start of the meeting - Brad sitting on left side of photo
 
Curtis talks to the 200+ guests and invites everyone to join in with the Israeli Folk Dance

NC Zoo

 
The Loftin and Seese Families  went to the N.C. Zoo in Asheboro, NC, on 02 May 2015. 
It had been years since any of us had been there - and it was the first trip for Kayli.
 
 

Savanna, Kayli & Ali get ready to head into the African Safari followed by the North American Safari later in the day
Learning where the animals come from in Africa

 
 

And off they go - We were fortunate enough to have our own personal "tour guide", Brad

Philip & Brad had as much fun with the sculpted animals as Kayli did

   
 

No - No one fell in - Everyone just stopped to look at all the turtles in the lake

 

One last photo of the family

 

The animals were fun, but the best part of the day was being with family

 
 
 
The Loftin Family Reunion
 
The annual Loftin Family Reunion was held on Sunday, 17 May 2015 in the Family Life Center of the Catawba Methodist Church in Catawba, NC

Constructing Kayli's Play Set
 
Because Kayli enjoyed the play set at Catawba so much, her parents decided to invest in one for home.
The Loftin & Seese families were invited over during Memorial Day weekend to help with the construction.
 
The playset was constructed near Kayli's playhouse and the family swing
Nonni helps everyone get materials laid out
 
Ali & Savanna played with Kayli while the adults worked on the construction

"Selfies"
 
As cell phone cameras became more and more improved, "Selfies" became a common term for photos taken of yourself
with the camera on your cell phone.  Savanna had lots of these.
 
Savanna grew into a real beauty - but I don't think she ever realized it
     
 
Savanna turned 15 in April and shortly thereafter got her driver's permit
 
Savanna and Nathan spent lots of time together over the summer of 2015
 
 
"Selfie" Rules to Savanna from Poppi
 
1. Be sure to take LOTS of "Selfies"  so "I" have more to choose from
   
 
2. Always have your Mom to serve as look-out especially if you're trying to sneak a "Selfie" of someone else
   
 
3. You can even take "Selfies" at the pool  but it's always nicer if you have a friend to share the experience with
 
4. It's OK to take a few FUNNY FACE "Selfies"
   
 
5. Just be sure to get some good ones, too
   
 
6. Be sure to post them on Facebook so I can get copies and add them to my website

Covenant Bible Church Youth Trip
 
Ali & Savanna joined the other youth from Covenant Bible Church for a trip to Myrtle Beach, SC, in July of 2015.  The hardest part of the trip for the girls was giving up their cell phones for several days.  Aaron Grooms is the Youth Pastor at Covenant.
 
The girls are in the middle-right part of this photo toward the top - can you find them?
 
 
 
Family Photos at Poppi & Nonni's House
 
Poppi (Curtis Loftin) decided that he hadn't taken many photos of Alexandria & Savanna lately and decided to take some on Sunday, 26 Jul 2015, when the Seese Family came over to his house after church.

DEDICATION

 
 

Savanna, You were the "first" - the first granddaughter - and I was (and still am) so proud of you.  Spending time with you always bring joy and happiness into my life.  You have no idea just how special you are.  May you always follow the LORD and seek His direction for every choice in your life.  May you always have a close and personal relationship with Yeshua/Jesus - He's the only true source of joy and happiness.  I love you and always will.  Poppi
