Healed....in Heaven

Pictured left to right, my Aunt Millie, Aunt Mary Ann, Aunt Dot and my Mom
After much prayer, God answered our prayers - not as we had expected, but with His sovereignty - by healing Aunt Dot....she's got a perfect body and is more alive now as she has entered Heaven's Glory and was reunited with her middle son who went on before her just a few months ago.
This picture was taken at my cousin's funeral in May and was the last time these dear sister-in-laws were together. We will all miss Aunt Dot - her infectious smile, her emails , and her prayers for her family. Praising God for His sovereignty and for giving her 50 years with my Uncle Gil.

First Day of School

Our THIRD grader...where did the time go?


Our FIRST grader...again, what happened to Kindergarten?

Our children...clearly, I wasn't the photographer or I would have insisted on a better pic, but that's what happens when Mommy is working full-time, too!
They're still so precious. But, it looks like Pretty Little Princess is trying to step on Little Bear's foot. hmmmm

Dick and Jane Book in Real Life

See Dick run.


See Dick climb tree.



See Dick fall.


See Dick swell.


My nephew fell out of a tree on Aug. 15, but
he can now SEE out of BOTH EYES!
He gets some looks, that's for sure! The first time he went out for supper I was with him.
I had a few people at the restaurant make eye contact with me and then they'd mouth,
"What happened?"
I told them,
"There is NOTHING wrong with him - Why do you ask?"
Just kidding. I told them he fell out of a tree. Poor guy.
Kindergarten starts on Thursday.
Hope he stays out of the trees at school!

Family Weekend at SB2W

The "Faith Pole" at "Summer's Best 2 Weeks" (SB2W) was a challenge for anyone who dared climb it. We at the Family Weekend event had a few takers. Here are some of the brave souls who took on the challenge...
Jerad







My dear red-headed niece got in on the action, too!





It's SOOOOO HIGH!!!!



NO FEAR!!!





Before touching the ground, Little Bear had to answer,
"Who's your favorite Disney princess?"
And, you couldn't say, "No one!"




Getting ready for the climb!


Ready!




She got a little nervous, but...

...she kept pressing on!


AND.....


She did it!!!




My "Faith Pole" experience involved water and....


...2 inexperienced CANOE riders!


But we all survived unscathed and DRY!


One More Picture!

I forgot to include my favorite picture from our major league baseball game!
