Planning a Family Visit
I have been trying to get a trip planned for weeks now. Today I finally made reservations. My son, his wife, and their 3 kids will be coming for a visit. I am so glad they were able to get it worked out. And I am super excited for my parents to meet their new […]
Constant Family Love
Today I visited a friend who I haven’t seen for about 15 years. We were neighbors a long time ago and had a great little community. When I moved back to the area a year and a half ago, we kept saying, “We need to get together!” Things seemed to get chaotic here and with […]
Family Joy
I was so happy today to video chat with my son, his wife, and their kids. I am used to my brothers calling and seeing one face on a phone or ipad, so the 5 of them really filled up the screen. We recapped the football game and my dad put on a bit of […]
Getting to Know You
Today I got a picture of my 5 month old granddaughter from my son. I have only seen her in person when she was a newborn. I do get to see her via video chat and as she gets older she is more interested in what is going on. In the picture I received, she […]
Baptisms in the Sistine Chapel

Birthday Box
Yesterday I received a birthday package in the mail from my son and his family. I wanted to open it with them, so I waited and we were all able to video chat tonight. My grandsons each made me a birthday card with their cute unique little touches. But they both made sure to include […]
Granddaughter’s Baptism
Today another new little one joined the family of Christ – my granddaughter. I talked to my sons ahead of time to see if it would be possible to video chat during her Baptism in the church, and they said they would try. I got a call from my older grandson when they got to […]
Family Fun Day
It was a wonderful family day today. First thing this morning we went to church and my grandson was an altar server. I also got to see a good friend preach who I haven’t seen for about a year. Then we went to breakfast with my daughter-in-law’s family. In the afternoon we went to play […]
Daughter-in-Law’s birthday
Today is my daughter-in-law’s birthday. It was such a blessing to get to spend it with her. He mom and niece came over for a bit bearing beautiful multi-colored flowers. She dressed the baby in a shirt that said, “Mommy’s Little Girl”. She said her husband – my son – wouldn’t like it because the […]
Meeting the Granddaughter
I finally made it safe and sound to my son’s house to see my new granddaughter. There was no problem traveling and the weather was good all the way. When I got to their house, there were hugs and tears all around. First my son, then the baby, my daughter-in-law, the baby, the grandsons, the […]
