Our Afternoon at Shaw Nature Reserve - Part 1

As I mentioned in my late night/early morning post, we spent yesterday afternoon at Shaw Nature Reserve in Gray Summit. It was our first visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially fun was the fact that we went with other families from our chapel, and enjoyed fellowship as well as a gorgeous view of God's creation.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the day. "Few" is relative to the fact that we took 132 pictures of our time there!

You just might see this one again on our next Christmas card -


Here are our Blessings with the Treasures of our dear friends Alan & Sue.


No, we don't generally encourage our girls to hold hands with boys, but this was too sweet a moment to not capture.


Aren't they sweet? GracieT turned one last week!


Katie enjoyed the dandelions.
