Good Morning from Addy

"Good Morning, Gramma!"

Addy is the reason I'm in Minnesota. Sarah is doing some job training and Shayne is busy at work, so I get to play and play and play.

Mitch stayed in Florida to "man the fort", play with Brayden, and help Caryn paint her house.

Welcome 2008

It is the beginning of a new year and we are truly blessed. Whatever the new year brings, may God travel with us!

January 1 brings us to our new home in Homestead, Florida. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the trees are green, Mitch is back in his shorts, and we already have new friends (some of them speak only French)!

January 2 brings me to Minnesota. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the ground is white, and it's two degrees below zero! What am I doing here?!

The awesome power of God!

As we close the year 2007, we can only marvel at the awesome power of God. We have traveled about four thousand miles and have seen the beauty of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, mighty rivers and meandering creeks, the Appalachian, the Rocky and Cascade Mountains, gorgeous sun filled valleys, grape laden hillsides, plains, and deserts. Only God could create this beauty. We also saw the devastation of Mt. St. Helens, the wild fires of southern California, and Hurricane Katrina. The power of God is there also.

Our family has been blessed by the addition of two precious babies, grandson Brayden and granddaughter Addy. The miracle of birth is truly awe inspiring.

With all of these wonders, one must truly believe there is a God. Our thanks to Him for his blessings!
