worshipper

Several weeks ago Rebekah snapped these adorable pictures of Greyson when he decided one day to be a worship leader! :) All on his own, he grabbed his toy rocket launcher and used it as a microphone and his guitar and said that we was "singing worship at church". Oh, how I love the heart of a child...

After all, all things were made by God and for God. We were designed to be worshippers and bring Him glory! Sometimes the sweet and innocent little actions of a child (that come so naturally, might I add) can be a huge reminder of God's greatness and desires for us all!

preschool

Hudson has been thriving in preschool this year! We are so thankful to have him in a wonderful class with two teachers who love and nurture him as their own! :) He has been learning a ton, reading, writing, and sharing about all their fun experiences as a class. It's amazing how even in preschool the curriculum can be so academically driven, learning about everything from the alphabet, reading, writing and science to fire safety, ocean life and magnets (to name a few) all while weaving Bible stories and Jesus into it all . Of course they do all the fun stuff too, like gym, recess, play games and make lots and lots of creative crafts! He even has homework every week! It's been great for him and we are seeing how this will enable him to be well-prepared for kindergarten next year!

During the month of December, the preschool put on a cute little Christmas program in which Hudson did wonderfully! He sang and smiled his way through the whole program which is a great improvement from our experiences last year at family programs! Ha ha! :) Classroom parties are always fun, too, especially since Rebekah always helps as a room-mom coordinator which is great. For the Christmas party, we were both able to attend and we had fun being a part of it!

chicago

Although we mentioned it in our lastpost, our trip to Chicago most definitely needs a post all to itself. We had the wonderful opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Chicago, just the two of us (thanks to Mom & Dad Snavely!). Making it even more exciting was that neither one of us had even been there before and we got to spend time with our family who now lives there! :) We had so much fun exploring and roaming the city with Nick & Rachel and Leanne!

Together we enjoyed all the sightseeing attractions, wonderful meals together, train rides, city walks, warm coffee and late-night talks! The weather was absolutely beautiful and the fall leaves were in peak season. It was a wonderful, relaxing and refreshing break for the two of us and now we can't wait to go back soon with the boys! :)

We have so many wonderful photos to share from our time in Chicago that we couldn't even come close to including them all within the post, so please CLICK HERE to view them all! Enjoy and check back soon for more updates! :)

september

Wow, has it been a looooong time since we've updated our blog, or what!?! Does anybody still read this anyways? Well nonetheless, now that all the photography stuff is slowing down since the cold weather has approached, we'd like to think that our hiatus from blogging is over! We have so much to share and of course there's never a shortage of pictures either! :) As much as we'd love to jump right in and tell you all the things that are going on now with our fam, we first must recap the past several months to bring you up to date. We've practically missed the whole autumn season! So let's start with some pictures from September!
