Life

 It's been awhile since my last post so....what have we been up to???

Angels game this past weekend. It was the 10th Anniversary celebration of the last time they won the world series.

 There was alot of red that evening...

 ...and the team started out so well, and then ended poorly. So sad!

Marilyn's cousin Brenda came from Minnesota with her niece to spend a week with her daughter who is attending school here. It's hard to believe that it was just a year ago that we met Brenda and her family. What a great relationship that has been!

 And then of course there are the wonderful visits to our sons and their families!

 Dancing with Grandpa

 Two little girls and their new tree house

And then the cousins came over to play also!

 I love this pic! Reminds me so much of the fun that I had when my cousins came to visit and we got to sit and eat at our own table apart from the "big folks."

It's hard to believe that this guy was once just a little baby in those swings! He is growing up so fast.

 Imagination in the playhouse

Enjoying her Poppi

 Cousins

 These boys love puzzles...and they are really good at them also!

 Such intense concentration!

J's new "bugman" outfit

Jim also took a trip back to Minnesota for our church convention. He was able to visit our niece and her husband (now attending Seminary) in their new home. 

And the highlight of the convention was the commissioning service for the newest missionary family. What a joy to see how God is calling the younger generation to serve Him abroad. May His name be honored and glorified through these lives.
