More Convention Photos

My niece Becca.
How many years have you helped us with the convention anyway?? We love having your family with us.

Cousins

Heather

Heather's first born Miles.
Ask Nate sometime why he's called "Miles the Movie Wrecker"

Jason and Robby, Matthew's closest friends.
Wow Jason you look soooo tall.

Hans, Kelli & Jacob
I sure miss the rest of the Hedding clan!

John always has a twinkle in his eye.

My favorite bird. What was I trying to do here. . . . . tweet?

Hard working Caleb =)

Jeff showing the beautiful calligraphy that Timothy Botts prepared for us. He used our theme and presented a devotional as he calligraphied this. He was our guest at the Speaker's Banquet the evening before the start of the conference.

Mr. Botts read the scripture in context and shared how he studies the word by writing it in calligraphy.He shared why he chose different colors . . . . . . .. . . . . and different styles of lettering. This brought the scripture to life.
After the devotional we sang and worshiped the Lord and had a time of prayer. What a powerful way to start the convention weekend.

Melody tooting her flute and (to everyone's great enjoyment)
Faith is faithfully accompanying her on the piano.

Ken

His sleeves are rolled up because he works HARD for all three days. He arrives at the crack of dawn each morning and I can only guess how many miles he puts on his shoes each day!

Don't ever give this guy a sharp pointed object. Yikes. He's scary.
Actually he's trying to match the expression on the teddy bear pirate that was drawn by some artistic felon on his official name badge.

Sweet Amber and Colleen
We were blessed that they were able to attend.


Becca, one of our two official conference photographers! The other was not able to sneak up on her undetected! The pictures on this post are thanks to them.


Katrina dressed for the history workshop that her mother did.
You look beautiful. I bet you didn't want to put on normal clothes after getting to wear that.


Mary has become a dear friend not just a support group leader! I was so blessed to meet all her kids this year. Their family came all the way up from Southern Illinois and braved the Chicago traffic!!!



It was nice to have Ken and Becky at the convention with us this year. It's been quite a while.

Dear friends Dennis and Jessica. Welcome to Jessica it was so encouraging to see you!

Hi Jim! I found this other picture of you and some of the family.

Both of our sets of parents came!! WE are SO blessed.

Here's Grandpa Bud and Haley. I didn't get a picture of Grandpa Sisson. He was buzzing around visiting with folks.

At the end of a long day waiting for the shuttle.

Thank you Lord for all that you did during this weekend.
What a privilege to take part in it all.
