Coming and Going

Faith and I with sweet Michelle Duggar at the homeschool convention 2 weeks ago.

Nathan demonstrating that he can easily hold his older sister.

Sarah after she looked in the garage to see her birthday present...a car! (Daddy got a new to him used car and Sarah got Daddy's old car.)

Sarah and her birthday table first thing in the morning on her birthday.

Psalm 121:8 says "The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." Isn't that such comforting reassurance, dear ones???

We have surely been coming and going. This past weekend included 2 round trips to Cedarville so that we could have our beloved Sarah home for her 20th birthday. What a wonderful time of celebration we had together as a family. :-)

Today, we were able to get a few more things moved over from the white rental house AND I got my garden planted...just 8 raised beds. Two are for flowers only and six are vegetables:kohlrabi, beets, zucchini, acorn squash, watermelon, cucumbers, peas, beefsteak tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, wax beans, green beans, carrots, 2 kinds of radishes, eggplant, turnips, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lima beans and green peppers. We'll see what comes up. I just get such a blessing out of growing things!!!

Later this week, the excavators should be starting their work at the site of the old house. They literally have to take it down to the bare earth. Not even the foundation can be saved.

We were finally cleared to start going through the rubble late last week, Some of the most exciting finds thus far were a few pieces of china that used to belong to my granny. They are intact, but definitely reflect that they have been through a fire.

I'll leave you all with a few happy pictures of our birthday girl. :-) OK...you got to start with them because I don't know how to put them where I want them in the post. :-(

By His grace,

Chris
