Mom Peine's (Janice) Birthday Celebration Weekend, Vero Beach, Fl, October 6-7

We had a delightful weekend together celebrating a wonderful woman!

Richard and Janice, Jon, Julie, and Rosemary, Zach, and our family. Breanna fell asleep as seen in the front left. :-)

Matthew enjoying the sand and surf. He is showing off "something crablike" he says.



Matthew, Breanna, Olivia, and cousin Rosemary on the suite patio. They were rounding up lots of snails!

As you can probably figure out from the above picture, it was very windy over the weekend. Breanna was giving her daddy lots of kisses while we were all enjoying the ocean and wind on the dock.

Zach and Matthew looking out at the ocean. Lots of big waves!

Celebration family conference in High Springs, FL, October 18-21

Round table discussion at the lodge. From left, Mark, Matt, Eric, Brian, Rob, and Tim. We stayed in a "mini lodge" with three other families. The conference meetings were held morning and evening and included hundreds of people from around various Sovereign Grace Churches in Florida. The theme of this year's Celebration was Reconciliation. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and teaching.

Olivia and her friend Allison.

Good friends Matthew and Brenner in back and Natalie and Sarah up front.

Erik took a load of children for a joy ride...through the woods and all!

More pictures from the camping trip in TN...

Morning campfire in Cosby camground, TN. The mornings were relaxed with great food for the breakfasts...pancakes, sausage, eggs, Scottish oatmeal.

Olivia and Sarah hangin' out at the campsite.

Some great fun at Max Patch playing football!

Some fabulous rock skipping on Green Briar Mountain. The river was a bit low so the rocks were highly exposed. The kids said this day was their favorite day of the camping trip.
