Noah Keith Gunter

So our Christmas baby decided he wanted to be here for Thanksgiving!
Noah Keith Gunter was born November 25 at 1:11 am.
He was 7 pounds and 2 ounces and 19.5 inches long.
He has been a true blessing and gift from the Lord.

Autumn has been a wonderful big sister and is always looking for "babies" as she calls Noah.
She is entranced with the holidays. She has a holiday nativity set and is smitten with Baby
Jesus! It has been a joy to see the enthusiasm in her eyes as we decorate the Christmas tree, set up the nativity sets,
and set up the Christmas village.

A few pictures:

A Day in the Life of Autumn at MMO...

One of the biggest blessings for me is MMO at our church. MMO stands for Mother's Morning Out. Autumn loves to go play and I love the break it gives me to run errands, catch up on things at the house, or just have lunch with a friend. The staff at MMO is so loving and takes amazing care of Autumn. She is truly a "princess" while she is there. Last week, Carrie, one of the wonderful ladies who works there was trying out her new camera and took these pictures of Autumn. Oh, how I wish I had the eye to take pictures like this!

Eating Blueberries with her cousins



this past weekend we went to Sharptop Cove with the youth group, Autumn had fun swimming, playing with the youth, playing in the creek, and enjoying their playground







Autumn is really into climbing. The other day we looked up and she had scaled the couch and was doing this...




Autumn's first bike ride with Keith

Blueberries and Plumbing

Two fun Gunter adventures:
We took Autumn blueberry picking. Blueberries are Autumn's favorite food. She will tell you that she NEEDS blueberries. She picked blueberries for over an hour and had the best time. She knew only to pick the blue ones and ate her weight in them. We had an amazing day. We went to Berry Patch farms which had a fun slide and play area. Some pics:







Our garbage disposal which was the loudest, best-working/would chop up a steel pipe in two churns type of appliance died this past weekend. Keith was wonderful and replaced it but he had a BIG helper :)






Two big prayer requests:
1) Keith's brother and his family lost everything in a house fire today. Pray for strength and wisdom as they face some difficult and hard decisions and situations.
2) Pray for Baby Stellan http://www.mycharmingkids.net/
