Happy Birthday Jonathan!

Today our youngest son turned five.

Three of our older kids were still at camp, and Mark was on his way to pick them up, so we had a quick dinner and cake at Mom mom and Pop pop’s house.

Make a wish, Jonathan!

Dream big, sweet boy!

We all love you…

…very much!!!

Happy Birthday, Jonathan!!!!
Blessings!

And today, the hurts just seem too heavy, and perhaps, […] Read more…

Happy Father’s Day To My Man

Dearest Mark,

You were overwhelmed with emotion. Tears filled those beautiful blue eyes I had grown to love so […] Read more…
