great grandparents

In the past month, three of our childrens' great grandparents have celebrated birthdays... just this past weekend, we celebrated my grandpa's 81st birthday.

What a blessing it is not only for us to enjoy, but for our kids to know and love FIVE great grandparents! Grandma G is still going a hundred miles a minute, canning pickles and making jam, working at the food bank, and having the family over. Grandpa and Grandma S. are busier than ever, working at church, working on the farm, baking/cooking/hosting big family get-togethers... and Grandpa and Grandma W. are nothing short of amazing, either! They willingly host as many people as are willing to come down to Moses Lake for as long as they'd like, and spoil all of their company rotten! They're also very active in missions and helping anybody and everybody out both at home and when they come to visit us...

Not only are our grandparents some of the most special people I know, they are such Godly examples to us and to our kids. I'm ever grateful for God's precious gift of grandparents!

it's been a while...

Wow... I definitely get the award for blogging slacker of the year! So much has happened since I last posted...

I have a new sister-in-law... thank you, John - and we love ya tons, Justine!:)
Our little lady has started KINDERGARTEN---so hard to believe!
The little man is talking a mile a minute and I am attempting potty training...
And finally, we're thrilled that I'm 18 weeks along with baby #3!!!

I've decided that I'm going to try and post about things I'm thankful for this month... and all of the above would be my post for today. Though our lives are a far, far cry from perfect, I'm so grateful for His many blessings!
