On the road again...

...To Ike's and Meg's!

JuneBug loves maps (a family trait, if you couldn't tell from the picture :). He'll point to a country and say "who lives here?" Then another one..."who lives here?" So fun!

Comfort after an injury

"That Coke looks quite tempting, Mum-mum!"

As always, JuneBug asks Pop-pum to read to him :)

Teamwork on a new toy shelf

Cutie

Peanut's First Birthday! He loved being sung to.

Blowing out the candle was a little daunting, though :)

He was indeed a Happy Birthday Boy

"CAKE!"

Licking the cake decorations

Peanut eats his cupcake

"Wow. That's good."

Oh, yes....he loved it....

...a lot!

That was the messiest we let him get...it was time to do some clean up

Part-way through the clean up it looked like he had a beard under his mouth :D

Fun times with Grandmum

Playing hoops

My feeble attempts to make a basket

He loves balls

Little hands, big fingers

Lovin's from Auntie!

We had to help Peanut learn to actually put the ball in the hoop...he wanted to just hold it :)

Conference With Anna

Recently, I was blessed to attend a conference with Anna, Stephen's sister! It was a very last-minute trip (meaning, the day before I left!). It was neat to see God's providential hand work it all out for me to attend. The conference was about The Holy Spirit, and I highly recommend you listen to all of the sessions here!

Directions from Mumzie before heading off

Ready for an adventure!

In our hotel room, calling our parents letting them know we landed safely

We were so blessed to have been hosted by this family for lunch one afternoon!

Before leaving the conference (we were some of the last ones to do so :) Anna and I stood in the parking lot for about 30 minutes talking/coordinating with our parents, and then deciding where to eat (we decided on Chipotle again :)

Dad, Mumzie, and I were then treated to having Anna stay with us for a day! Anna and I gave Daddy and Mumzie the conference de-brief.

After church the following day, we stopped by the P. family's home

Baby M.

 

Anna was delighted to have some "baby time"!

If you haven't gathered this yet from reading our blog, I love conferences. :) Some people even call me a "conference junkie" :D I suppose that's not too far from the truth. But when one thinks about the many blessings one gets from Bible conferences, it is easy to see why I love them so....spiritual refreshment and godly, Christian fellowship!

"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin" 1 John 1:7
