So Blessed!!

Well, we have been back now for 4 months and it was the fastest 4 months of my life.
We had the best summer!! We had our share of Darien Lake, retreats and picnics. Ashley and her best friend (along with her best friend's father) plunged 200 feet on a bungee cord over water. Yes, they are crazy!! Ashley must be the daring person of our family because she also got her friends to go tubing with her and they all survived. Watching my children laugh and
have fun this past summer was such a joy. It also brought along with it a sadness because they will never be that age again and I want to enjoy every second of my time with them. They grow so fast. We have made many memories these past 4 months and I treasure the friendships we have. From the oldest (Marybeth's grandma - who I love as my own) to the youngest (Nathan) they each hold a very special place in our hearts. The Lord has truly blessed us with the best friends a person could have. These are people who love to have fun but can be serious when need to be. They show the love of the Lord. We have accountability with each other. Thank you Jesus - you are soooooo good!!!!!
