Conference '09 in Lancaster, PA

So, after a nine year absence, we made it back to the General Converence Meetings of the Seventh Day Baptist's. It was an entirely different experience than the last time around. Not to mention the already mentioned nine year time lag, we also had Our babies Three in tow. The week was a blessing (despite the fact that we wondered daily if bringing three two-year-olds to Conference was wise).

Here are the little ones in a normal pose: breakfast on the bed at about 6:00am (too early)

Here's Eve at the center of attention

Here's a sprawling view of the congregation on Sabbath Morning

Here is Jonah in the Cafeteria looking to lay claim on the camera

Here is Eve...tired and oh so cute

Here is Cousin Elisa (Uncle Andrew and Aunt Kristin's little girl)

Here's Cate consuming that which was a staple of the week's meals...cookies
