Hannah.....need I say more?

She's been watching me drive, so she was certain she could handle that giant van if only I would put the key in the little hole and turn it.


Hannah insisted she could handle that bag of garbage, but she cheerfully allowed me to finish the job.
What a cute little body!
Pigtails are my favorite!

The Upchurch Work Crew

Bruce has been working on heading up a volunteer framing crew to build a parsonage in Gallaway, just minutes from home. On a recent Monday, he took our personal work crew, aka our children, to work for the entire day.
They...........loved.............it!!!!!!! (and so did I!)
Rebecca was building a cute little wagon with scraps. It even has wheels. You can see it next to her in the above picture.
Josiah worked on building his very own grill out of scraps. It had wheels, too! He smoked BBQ on it that very night in his bedroom at the foot of his bed. Of course, the meat was actually blocks of wood. He was serious.
Samuel built some good-sized boats that I don't see in this picture.
Jacob was all business, working steadily all day with Bruce and another adult helper. He works as well as most men out there!
Bethany appears to be putting together a wall. She was good help all day long, also helping keep up with the young helpers.
Bruce's number 1 man!
What a fine looking crew!


One of Isaac's favorite part of a work day---lunch!!!
These boys are NOT afraid of heights. They climb all over the structure.
(Thankfully, Mom, the paranoid one, was at home with little Hannah.)
