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/

4th of July

1st off - apology for not blogging in a LONG time. Somehow I could not log on the way I normally did and had to get Keith to reset the passwords.
So, instead of rehashing the last month, I decided to continue with the present and move on!

2nd - I love July 4th. I loved it as a kid when we had these huge family cookouts, but since then it was a holiday that lost its luster. So I had not truly loved July 4th for a long time until I came to Marietta. I think it gets better every year. We have so many July 4th traditions now. Here are some pictures from the weekend.


On Friday we had our monthly "Family Fun Friday" where we try to find something fun to do around Atlanta. We took Autumn to Centennial Olympic Park to play in the fountains. To say she enjoyed it would be an understatement.

No Fear



On Saturday morning we went to the Fourth of July parade on the square with our friends Ailena and Chad.




This was the funniest part of the parade. No idea what they represented, but they did a dance routine with lawn chairs. Hilarious!

We ended the day with a picnic dinner with friends and fireworks. Autumn was a little wary of the fireworks at first but then would commentate them by saying AHHHHH.....BOOM! She had the best time.
