Prince of Peace." -Isaiah 9:6

Trip Part 3

On the last leg of our trip, we visited some friends in Alabama, the B family. The Smoky Mountains were really beautiful to see on the way there. 

We were so blessed by their sweet hospitality, and we had such a great time of fellowship, games, and laughter! 

A quick photoshoot before we left that morning.

On the way to home sweet home!😊

These two can get crazy on trips!😂

Our little dog Max stayed at Pap and Nana's house, so he was happy to see us when we got back!

All in all, it was a very special and fun trip!😊

"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fulness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." -Psalm 16:11

Trip Part 2

Here is Part 2 of our trip in October! On Saturday, after visiting with Grandpa and Grandma for a few days, we headed out from St. Louis to visit a family in Tennessee.  Sarah and I have been penpals with two of their girls for a few years, but have never met so we were excited to get to meet them finally! Since it was a 9 hour drive, we stopped at a halfway point in Kentucky for the night and went the rest of the way Sunday morning.

There were some really pretty sights in TN!

We stopped at the original spot where Daniel Boone built his fort in Kentucky, but due to flooding they were shut down.

On the way to Tennessee!

The girls had no idea that we were coming so we were able to pull off a very fun surprise!

Visiting!😊

We girls had fun singing and playing together for a little bit.

On Monday afternoon we went and visited a family from their church who lived in Virginia.

They had all kinds of animals, and we enjoyed touring their farm.

The Silvey and Fitzgerald families. 

"I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved." -Psalm 16:8

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

"Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." -Psalm 118:1

 

Happy Birthday Jared!

Today Jared turns #26!!🎂🎉 

Jared sings and plays bass for our family group.

Jared loves animals, and our dog Max certainly holds a soft spot in his heart. 😉

*ahem* Two animals you don't usually hold very often!😂😆

Playing 'restaurant' with a little cousin.😍

Lizzy Joy adds a sparkle to Uncle Jared's life.❤

During our big snow earlier this year, Jared had the idea of making the biggest snowman we had ever made. It was a lot of fun and he enjoyed heading up the project!

Happy birthday, Jared!

Random Life

Happy November! So...I know I said Part 2 of the trip was coming next, but! I just wanted to do a post of what has been going on in our life lately!😊

Our fall crop of green beans have done amazingly well this year. Our first picking was almost 10 bushels!!

While the humans worked...

...the animals slept!😆

Snapping the beans!

God has really blessed us with this bumper crop of green beans and we are so thankful!

Will, Brittany, and Lizzy came for a visit recently!

Baking with Grandma.😍

She waited at the window for about 15 minutes, looking for Grandad to get home from work.💙😁

Elizabeth got to open some belated birthday gifts. :) She got so excited when she heard she had more presents!😉

Jared, Sarah, Jonathan and Hannah Harbour, and I had fun traveling to a Gospel Music Hymn Sing a couple hours away! 

It was nice to get to hear some of our favorite groups again!

Our family recently went to a concert of one of our favorite Southern Gospel quartets, and it was so great to hear them again! 

Afterwards we got to eat at Taco Bell!

On a walk with Aunt Lynn. 😊
