East Coast Hunters: Pics Here We Come!!!

"From the Fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another."

John 1:16

Jessie, my dear neighbor friend, gave me a Mother's Day card with this verse in it! Thank you! Yesterday was my 1st Mother's Day...as a mommie! Boy was it amazing! I can't believe that a year ago we had absolutely no clue "who" we were about to receive & now here we are full fledged parents! Really, Mother's Day started on Saturday when Daddy and Britt left me a couple of hours to "read/relax/nap" while they did a few errands:) They returned with flowers, Starbucks, and Reese's PB cups...my favorites! Sunday we had the privilege of dedicating Britton at our church here, Eagle's Nest Fellowship Church! The stage was packed with baby girls, another baby boy named Britt, and our sweet Britton! After Pastor Bob finished praying over him (that he would be like Sampson with all his hair & have no fear of man:), Britt reached out for him and got to go to center stage! He is usually pretty shy around other adults, we couldn't believe it! After this sweet church time my boys spoiled me with Surf Bagel at the beach for lunch followed by shopping! Wahoo, those boys sure know how to treat their Momma! Thank you for a dream day!!!!

The weekend before all 3 of us traveled to Arlington, TX! We flew on our 1st plane with Britt and got to spend an extended weekend with the whole Hunter clan! Britt loved the planes and did wonderfully (thank you for sleeping a lot precious one:) We had the privilege of seeing our Uncle Matt graduate from Southwestern Theological Seminary and later be ordained as a minister! We were all so proud! We also got to see Aunt Lauren and her little bump growing around her tummy!!! They were gracious and let us stay at their beautiful home! We had so much fun seeing all the Hunter's and both of my sweet sister-in-love's families too! What a precious time it was!

Lastly, the weekend before the TX weekend ha, we headed to Virginia Beach with my parents! While not blazing hot (like TX:), we got to walk the amazing boardwalk, eat yummy food, play in the sand, watch US Navy F16 Fighter Jets flying over us (while Top Gun's theme song played in our ears:), see horses marching along the shore, & watch the NFL Draft:)! What a wonderful time we had!

Thank you Lord for all these precious times and memories!

(Now that we bought more photo storage:) we have a ton of pics to post:)!!!!
