More Random January Pictures

A church trip to volunteer at Voice of the Martyrs in Bartlesville, Oklahoma ...
Of course, evenings are the most fun when everyone sits around and does things like... watch elections results, and tornadoes moving through your home county while you're not there!

Putting together packets for the Bibles Unbound project at Voice of the Martyrs.

Mike Huckabee comes to Missouri!

Former AR Governor Mike Huckabee came to Jefferson City... Ruth and Joanna were thrilled with the chance to get their picture taken with him. And doubly excited when their picture with him showed up on the front page of the Jefferson City News Tribune the next day!

Gov. Huckabee came to Springfield and spoke to a crowd of about 2,600 a couple of days later. Jemima and Liz got to go along with the "little" girls to this event and got some of their things autographed. Here Gov. Huckabee is signing the newspaper article for the girls.

Another activity with young people from church - singing at the Missouri Veteran's Home.

Random January Pictures

Our family takes entirely too many pictures! There are hundreds for January alone! How am I to sort out a couple for the blog to summarize the month? I can't, so here's a few random ones to enjoy! : )

We got several hundred pounds of natural peanut butter very cheaply ($10 for a 40 pound box!) and shared with everyone we knew!
Sam thought it was a lot of fun to scrub up to his elbows and mix up each box!

My brothers work at the Anchor Academy for troubled boys, so when they came to a nearby church to sing, of course we had to go hear them! Here are a few of them, and a couple of staff members.

This year we celebrated Suzanne's birthday by going thrift store shopping all around Springfield.
As you can see, we're experimenting with hats and fashion coordinating!

Mom and Sam having some together time on the computer. : )
