...it is the gift of God...

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one's lifetime; moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor - it is the gift of God.

{Ecclesiastes 3:12 & 13}

Ping pong with the H. family!

Mr. and Mrs. H... you two are just adorable :)

Johanna loved their new puppy

Guesstures with these guys is a hoot!

Brother love :)

Had some ping pong fun with this fun family

And deep discussions

As well as mommy talk

This girl loves to read... caught her like this and thought it was just too sweet

Evening cuddles with baby Abby

Grandma Margarete turned 91 in January! Unfortunately this was the only picture we have from the party because the camera was being used elsewhere...

Yuuuum :P

Thank you so much for coming to celebrate, Mrs. Kathi!

Spring is here! Time to take a stroll

A kiss before they go...

...and a hug to boot!

Lorry's son, Chris, and his family drove up for Valentine's day!

Group selfie :)

Zoe, Glenys' great-granddaughter, came by for a visit

Sweetness!

Johanna had fun with her new friend

Laughter abounds with these people around

"Do you have a three?"

"Go fish"

Flowers are always a good thing :)

The beginning of a new chapter (or book, if you want to get all technical on me)

Meet Oreo, Johanna's new pet hamster!

Lorrybell and Bella Bean being silly

Birthday time...

Thank you, Mom, for loving and raising me for twenty-four years!

A game of birthday "Go fish"

Game playing is dangerous with this eight year old

Nearly twins...three years apart

I'm so glad I get to call you my sister, Vanessa :)

 Our snowlady

Sister Power

 We love getting together with past clients and their babies!

We were blessed to assist at a March birth!

She has her shades, drink and bookwork... time to take on the world!

Ice skating date to celebrate another school milestone!

It's dangerous to let these two knuckle-heads go shopping together

Dad and Mom were blessed to attend an ElderCare conference out in Colorado and share about our home. They also gleaned a lot from the speakers and other vendors.

Airplane selfie win for the parents!

So, we're finally at the end of this post! If you've made it here to the end, props to you! I've been seriously procrastinating the past few months and am dealing with the consequences (ie I'm drowning in pictures to post!). :P Have a blessed day!
