Talk out in Grundy

Shortly after leaving the Hall, our car broke down and the nearest place to pull over was the parking lot of a Baptist church...

A very nice man put a lot of time and energy into helping us get back home - after  first making sure that we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and assuring Addison that it was okay with him that they were "different colors."
We were really grateful for his help but we found all of that a little bit hilarious. 

Service with Jess and Jeshua 



This very sweet little girl and her grandmother smiled at Jeshua as they walked past our table at Arby's.
Later, he was looking at the article in the  Awake! magazine about clown fish and telling us about the "stingers" (anemone.)
I asked him if he thought the little girl might like the clown fish pictures, and he climbed off of his chair and walked right over to find out. 

The girl smiled during his whole "presentation" and accepted the magazine. When we left a few minutes later, she was still looking through it. 

On a service break, Liv chose Snickers for her Dad and Necco wafers because... she couldn't remember what they tasted like

Dinner at the Thirsty Heifer 

The weather was unseasonably mild the day after Christmas. Amber dressed for summer. It's especially funny considering she's typically way overdressed, like the time she wore mittens in September! 

Saw this sign in the bathroom at Cavalier Cafe.
It says, "Sorry for the lack of decorations in this bathroom. They were stolen.  (We only have screws left)"

Picking up Bella!

Twinsies!
