A City Life For Me

Henry gets to nap right after his bath!  I was jealous! The prophet’s chamber in Berryville, VA is right across from two horses.  The kids loved walking over to see them closer!  {Yes – Nehemiah thinks Baby Henwee is more exciting than the horse.  He loves his brother!} Feeding the horse grass and apples Liberty was pretty brave! It was a beautiful fall day!  We took a blanket outside for school and let the other kiddos romp in the grass.  Looked up to see the twins like this – enjoying each other and being uber cute.  Later I discovered that they were spreading mint crème oreos all over their baby dolls’ heads. 

Some miscellaneous captures of our recent travels and activities… :: We stayed with our college friends Stephen & Andrea in SC.  Our kids had a great time together! Toby, Nolan, Penny, Sophie, Zoe, Elaine, Nehemiah, Liberty (& Henry) :: We took part in a wonderful missions conference at Westside Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia. We got to teach the Children’s Church twice! Nolan got a new suit at the thrift store!  Isn’t he handsome??? The twins loved the ladders to the water fountains!
