Family Pictures

We decided to take our family picture in the soybean field behind our house this fall because the soybeans were such a pretty color.

Taking hay bales and pumpkins out to the field

Having a little fun with the pumpkins :)

The whole family

We didn't have anyone to take these pictures, so we put the camera on the tripod and set it on a timer. It's hard to get good pictures that way!

Emily and Amanda left this morning on a trip to Niagara Falls with our grandmother. They have taken the camera with them, so we probably won't have any pictures to post this week. Be sure to check back for pictures from their trip in about a week.

Today's Sermon

Our family first heard this sermon clip by Dr. S.M. Lockridge about 15 years ago. It is one of our favorites. "That's My King" is about 6 minutes long, but it's very powerful. Click the sound icon below to listen to it. Click here if you would like to read the text.

H is for Harp

On Thursday Amanda played the lap harp for a local preschool studying the letter H.

The children were very attentive.

I love this picture! All those darling little faces!

Today's Sermon...

My wonderful time with Samuel...

I spent the month of September in South Carolina with my precious little buddy, Samuel, and his parents.

Having the opportunity to help him with his school work for an entire month was such a thrill for me!

He can spell his name...

...and now he can spell his last name, too!

Samuel learned to write 4, 5,6 and...

7!

Bekah is proud of you, Samuel!

This was a hard dot-to-dot!

Samuel can add...

...and cut with scissors...

...and read 12 words!

-Once a week, Samuel goes to Co-op-

One of his favorite things about Co-op

is getting to wear his "school backpack"!

He loves his name tag, too.

Co-op is exciting!

-A Field Trip to the farm-

On my last Monday at their house, Samuel and his parents had a very nice, surprise birthday party for me... and I was surprised!!!

(It helps when someone else is willing to be in pictures with you!)

Samuel gave me a set of Strawberry Shortcake stickers.

This is my beautiful cake, and Samuel helped me

blow out the candles.

Thank you so much

for everything,

Hunt (and Noller) families!

I think these are my favorite pictures from the whole month! :)

Daddy sent a watermelon for Samuel and, as you

can see, he loved it and helped himself to all he could fit on

his plate... plus some!

Goodbye to Samuel! Bekah loves you and will miss you!
