Whew! So much fun in such a short time! Our daughter Emily and hubby Eric, along with their four children, came for a quick Labor day weekend. Driving from KS is no small feat, so we really appreciated seeing them. On Monday we went to "the lake" and were the only ones there for the first hour or more. Kayaks and a canoe were employed by nearly everyone throughout the day. The baby boys, only six weeks old and their brave parents, endured the whole time with very little fussing, babies or parents!
I had such a sweet time watching everyone and enjoying being together. Our girls take over the kitchen/cooking/planning pretty much, so I can relax even with so many around. We were 23 total with Phil and Jaimee and their two girls absent.
It's hard to believe that our little group has grown that much. I still, and will always marvel at the individuality of each one; their talents and giftings; the way each family becomes their own. It makes me think of the joy Father must have in each of His children and the way His family is becoming His own. What a treasure we are, these earthen vessels, formed by the Potter Himself.
Makes me love Him even more.
