Strawberry Picking

Dean's Farm Market, a local farm that our family frequents, held a Spring Fling today. The children were invited to pick strawberries for free, as well as participate in other various activities (animals, face painting, bounce house, etc.) The girls had a lot of fun picking juicy red strawberries, and mommy got to pick out some farm fresh veggies--yum!

Hannah finds a big red juicy one!

Found one!

Celebrating!

Additionally:

On a much more serious note, I would like to ask you to pray for our former church, First Baptist Clewiston, and our former Pastor Brian Hamrick's family. Brian passed away last night after battling complications due to emergency surgery. Though we can rejoice in the assurance that Brian is standing face to face in awe of his glorious Savior, we are deeply grieved for his wife Katherine and their two young boys, as well as our dear friends at FBC. Brian's life and ministry were a testimony to God's sufficient saving grace and the beauty of the gospel. We have lost a faithful saint!

Looks like you had a nice sunny day to go strawberry picking and that photo of Madeline and Hannah celebrating their "catch" is really cute.

I had the pleasure of meeting Brian and his family one of the last times I was in Clewiston. I will surely be praying for his loved ones and for FBC.

Love~Mom

Looks like y'all had a great time strawberry picking! I'm hoping we can go at some point this year.

I will be praying for Brian's loved ones and the church family.
