Blessed Beyond Measure

October has turned out to be a month of huge blessing. We got to travel to Orlando to celebrate Gracie's first birthday. Then, on the spur of the moment (actually 40 minutes before we had to leave for the airport to return home), Kaye decided that she and Gracie would join us on our return flight. Amy was a good sport and kept the secret. You can't imagine the surprise on Jon & Sally's faces when Kaye & Gracie walked thru the door!! It was so much fun. It was a great time together. In a day or so, Mary and Chloe joined us. So, unexpectedly, we had all four girls and all three grandbabies here once again before Sally, Jon & Jude leave for overseas. Below are pictures of those 2 weeks. They don't begin to capture the fun and laughter, but hopefully, you'll get some idea of the great blessing it is to be together once again.

September Bliss

For the past eight months, we have had the awesome blessing of having our daughter, Sally, son-in-law, Jon, and grandson, Jude, living with us. They will move overseas soon, and we'll be fortunate then to see them once a year. It has been a delight for us, more than I can put into words.

Here are some pictures from September that give evidence of our joy.
