Huber Family Photo Fun!

For the last 3 years I have had the privilege of
attempting to capture family pictures for the Hubers.
This year we got in around 500 pictures in about an hour.
I was impressed with that, but was later informed
that "statistically" speaking I was 96 pictures short of
getting 1 good picture... whose speaking statistically?
Not Me!
I think I proved that "statistical" speaker wrong:)

Here was a glimpse of our time together.
As Chad contemplated if he really wanted to attempt a family picture

the decision was made and the family called to get
together and smile nice:)

so the entire family ventured out in search of a good spot
to take a family picture.
Thus began the attempts:

Tim put your hands down.

Smile Ellie!

that's better now look at the camera...

Anna... I can't see your beautiful face.

"Where did Lucas go?.... Where did he go?.... There he is...hahaha"
What a great game!

Dlyan...open your eyes buddy...
Chad, Emma, Ellie...look this way...
O'no it looks like Lucas has fallen asleep.

That's enough... Lets go Home!

Thanks for another fun photo day Hubers!
(and yes there were many good pics. I just didn't know
what ones the Hubers wanted to use so didn't want to
post them:)

Thought for the Day

I read this thought last week... this weekend... I don't remember...
but its something God keeps bringing to my mind.
"Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?"
-Crazy Love-

Yes it is!
Just stopping to think about what that really means.
makes my heart smile every time:)

Friday Afternoons

When school is out....

and the socks are washed...

the weekend is officially here
and the transformation begins.
The kids become:

fashion designers

mothers

telemarketers

cops handing out tickets

and shop keepers.

I love watching their imaginations!

From One Extreme To Another

Remember back to the first half of the year where we were continually
praying and asking for prayers that rain would be sent?
It had been so dry for so long... we were very careful in how we used
the little water we had...
Prayers were answered!!!!
Now the rains come and come and come.
So much rain that roads are being destroyed by the power of
the water, people and cars are being washed away as they
try to make there way through flooded areas, and then today
I came across this picture from our MoBay school. Because
of all the rain and it having no where to go the force of it knocked down
a large part of the schools block wall perimeter.

3 Years

Today marks 3 years on the Island. It has gone by so quickly
and yet some days take forever. (I usually think of the 20th as
the first day here since it was the first full day and not simply the arrival day.)
On that first night 3 years ago I can remember sitting in my
apartment crying with nothing but a bed and and my 2
suitcases thinking "Erin...what have you done" and now
I feel so blessed, peaceful,and happy.
Thank You Jesus for bringing me to this point.

Happy Hero's Day!

Yesterday was Hero's Day, a national holiday, with the kids
gone and nothing going on around school a group of us headed
to Mobay for a beach day. It was a perfect Jamaican day and as
we lay there soaking up the sun the question was thrown out "how
amazing is this?". It was pretty Amazing!
As we were getting ready to leave I sat on my beach sheet watching
the lighting from a storm coming in. Very Cool! I Love Storms.
Then we met up with Jeff and Jody Daniels (new missionary couple
at CCCD Mobay) and have dinner with them and their family.
Please pray for them as they continue to transition to life on the island.
