Hello friends!

A short blog post, I know—but you will have get the scoop on family happenings in the next ministry update! (You are subscribed, right? 🙂 ) I have had a number of photos sitting in a folder—waiting patiently to be shared—that I’ve conglomerated into this small gallery. Several of them are from friends on Facebook, others from Mom’s phone, and then the rest were snapped on the family camera (thus the different looks!). There are so many stories connected with each of these photos and adventures, but regrettably I don’t have the time to highlight them all. The pictures will just have to do the talking for me.

Enjoy this run-down of happenings from our Florida trip in February to just two weeks ago!

Blessings to you all!
