Every month I try to gather a picture a day all together in one post. It's a good way to remember all that's occurred in the past thirty days before starting a new month. My October began celebrating James's birthday and the normal round of work, church, and school before we traveled to Italy for the annual meeting of the International Baptist Convention. We took homeschool on the road, made new friends, and K.J. preached in Rome.
Our time with people from other IBC churches was encouraging, and we had a day of rest and quiet on the coast before traveling back home. It's been a cloudy and damp end to the month, which makes me extra grateful for all the Italian sunshine we soaked up last week!
