Can it Be 5 Months????


















































































































































































































































































































































































































































































God has been so good to us in these months--I am so thankful for his healing physically and emotionally and for the mercy He gives us every day. I am really trying to learn Mercy OVER Judgment!! It's hard for all of us to learn this.....
With 10 grandchildren and 7 of them having birthdays withing 2 months--plus a number of adults joining the aging game, we have had lots of parties and celebrations!! Willow started ahead of the two month frame in January turning 8 years old...then it started in March: --Jaelyn turned 10 and had her golden birthday on the 10th. Sophia turned 1 on the 28th. Ryan also had a big one on Feb 28th when he turned 30!!! Andrew was also 39 on the 5th of March. April 4th was Isaac and Will's golden birthday of 4 years old..Emma our oldest grand-daughter turned 12 on the 27th, she also did a wonderful job in the state gymnastics meet. This may be her final year with gymnastice--she has learned so much and accomplished great things...
Maya turned 3 on the second of May and had a Princess Birthday party with 3 other little girls her age. Finally, Bill and Ginger had birthdays on the 6th of May. We also had our first grand-nephew born on that day to Joy and Philip--"Abraham Lampiris Kirkland"...In the middle of all these parties, we celebrated Easter and got to have Jaelyn and Addison for a week--hence the dinasour photos, and I got to visit my sister in Antigua for a week , oh and I forgot, I had foot surgery in Febuary--making life more complicated that I had planned!!...I won't wait so long next time--this was a lot of parties....Today I am going to three more, all at one-0'clock!! The sign in the photos is from the Perry Church that we were at for a honeymoon of 10 years--one of my favorite verses from my favorite chapter of the Bible--Isaiah 40. Does anyone recognize the houses there??? Hope your 5 months were greatly blessed too!!!
