It's all in the life of a family ................

On September 24th our daughter (Angie) and son-in-law (Barry) will
celebrate their 3rd wedding anniversary. Last night or I should say at 4:00 a.m. when both Bill and I couldn't sleep - which might be due to the fact that our "baby" is turning 31 on Monday - Bill and I were reflecting on the past 3 years. We have had 3 marriages, (2 weddings less than a month apart)and 3 babies and 3 baptisms/dedications. On September 25th we will observe our first year without my mother, hence the reflection of life for us. It is a blessing to watch our children grown, married and having their own children to raise. To see their values and ideals, their gift of having a heart with the Lord, the laughter and love that they are passing on. The passage of time goes so swiftly and it was good to take a minute to reflect on the blessings in our lives.

This weekend my sisters, Darlene and Brandy and I are going to go through mom's things which have been stored in the shed at my dad's. I am sure that we will have some happy moments sharing stories as we go through boxes of pictures and cards.
There will be some things to devide up and some things to go to the local Salvation Army. I look forward to spending this time with my sisters!
