As the pastor of the singles ministry where I was involved for many years, Kurt has had been one of the most influential people in my life. So it was a great pleasure when he asked me to take photos of his beloved family.

Their kids, aka the Munch Bunch!

Kurt told me that even though he never really played ball with his dad growing up, one of his ideas of what it meant to be a father was playing catch with his son.

Not quite at as tall as dad, yet.

Collecting acorns and leaves along the way…

The Gebhards were so kind to let me be part of a special announcement to their kids.  They numbered the kids 1 through 5 before telling them that they were expecting number 6…

…which Kurt thought was quite enough…

…and the kids embraced the idea of a new sibling with general approval.

To the whole Gebhards family, thanks for sharing your day with me.  I learned a number of valuable lessons about what it means to be a parent just from spending that time with you.  You have been a huge blessing to me!
