Today, we take a moment to thank God for all that He has done for our country, for the men and women that have paid the price for our freedom, for the godly foundation our forefathers built this nation upon, and for the bright future that our country has under God.  

Please say a prayer for our great country to remain One Nation Under God!

Fall Memories

 By: Erin

Happy New Year everyone!  We pray that this will be a blessed year for everyone, reminding us of God's continuing faithfulness!

Below is a summary of this past autumn!  (Please note: the pictures loaded backwards, so the post is in the order of 1st day of winter - 1st day of Autumn 😬.)

Getting ready to deliver and mail Christmas cards!

We enjoyed dinner at a Mexican restaurant during a Christmas outing!

One of our favorite farm stores... 😃

A small, outdoor Christmas concert.

Since the weather got colder, we haven't been able to hold church services outside, so we've been recording them instead.

After a church recording...

More times to sing together...

This is one of our newest additions...what would we do without kittens??!!

Our Guineas make us laugh!  They're actually looking at themselves in the mirror (I hope they aren't realizing how ugly they look!!)!

Getting ready for our family Christmas picture...

Daffodil & Hazel

Daffodil enjoys Christmas decorations!

We are blessed to have a wonderful police department!

On Thanksgiving, we enjoyed playing games together (this is one of our new favorites, Throw, Throw Burrito!).

Dinner!

Playing Pandemic (we lost! 😔)

Luke made a delicious pie!

The night before Thanksgiving, we made the traditional stuffing!

Packing and delivering shoe boxes for the Operational Christmas Child ministry!

At first, Daffodil was NOT happy about another cat in the house!

We were blessed to be able to attend the 2020 VA Family Encouragement Weekend in Culpeper!

We were able to see a lot of friends...

Luke and I played in the orchestra, again.

Lunch!

Game time is always a lot of fun!

Hazel's definitely a cat! 

Isn't she adorable?!

Joseph's DIY log cabin!

Luke and Isaac flew to Winter Park, CO for team training.  Their flight left very early!

They sent us pictures of all the snow!

Hazel...

Working on the farm...

Enjoying more time spent with friends...

A beautiful moon over fields!

We always enjoy seeing our baby goats growing up in their new homes!

Hazel is inside right now, but she will be a full-time barn cat in the future!

"What is THAT!"

The baby mice were so cute!

We enjoyed having a farm gathering for those who have helped us over the years with our farm!

Isaac bought us giant burritos from Moe's for dinner one night!

Music practice.

Joseph and Benjamin playing at the park!
