A Continuation....

....of another blog post. The Morton's have filled up their picture space on Morton Household Blog II, and have had to start Morton Household Blog III! Can you believe it?! It seems that every two years you can expect this to happen...it took us two years to fill up our first blog, and it has taken just over two years to fill up our second. If you would like to see the beginning of this post, please click here, then travel on over to this blog again to finish. Sorry for the confusion!


Again, click here for the beginning of this post, please.

A Small Glimpse...

...into our refreshing week at the family Bible conference. Nearly every day we were blessed to hear 3 sermons, each by different pastors. The first sermon of the day was on God's providence, the second on living before God with a clear conscience, and the third was on the different works of Christ (Jesus the Passover, Victor, Advocate, etc.). All of them would be great to listen to on Sermon Audio if you can! (they are not yet on Sermon Audio...I will try to link to them if I can later)




Mr. A. and Mr. D. organizing the newly-arrived food

Helpers

Mr. W: "Yes, take a picture of me with my gloved hand" :D We had such fun people to work with in the kitchen!

Browsing the book table...for other people this is a hobby!

Game time


Everyone looks pretty serious...I guess because it was a serious game :)



Mrs. B. and her sweet baby...the youngest child ever to attend the conference at just 4 weeks old!



*sigh* wish I could hold him right now and pinch his cute little cheeks!

Don't you love it when you capture someone laughing on camera?



Cousins
Capturing a group just before they are ready is just about as fun as capturing someone laughing :D


That's a bit more "normal" :)


It was such a joy to get to know you better, Miss Y.!
