weekend fun

This past weekend was filled with fun - my dad and Penny have arrived home from France for the next few weeks, and we have been fortunate to spend quite a bit of time with both of them so far! In addition, sweet Emmett was baptized this past Sunday and all of the grandparents, uncles and even grandma great were in town to help us celebrate.

We shared pizza together the evening my dad arrived from Paris, and he was met with many hugs from Anna. "Granka, I haven't seen you in such a long time!" she exclaimed.

Later in the weekend we celebrated Granka's birthday with a barbeque at he and Penny's home. Granka showed off some of his soccer moves - many of the same ones he and I used to share so many years ago. We enjoyed good food, good company, and yummy cake & ice cream.


Jim, Norma and Uncle Nate shared some special time with us as well over the weekend as we took in the events together, and in between Nana, Papa and Uncle Nate soaked up every minute of fun with the little ones. (AND helped us prepare for the baptism...thank you!)

It was a weekend filled with family, laughter, fun and more. Another reminder of God's blessings on us and our extended family.

We mark another special event with Emmett's baptism and know that he is God's child. We will do whatever we can to help him grow in God's love.
This was a wonderful weekend filled with so many great memories.
We are grateful to have been part of it.
Those two wonderful children are such a blessing to all of us.
Love, Nana & Papa
