The news Laura shared this weekend -

A baby for Laura and her husband- Joshua.

Due April 1, 2014.

What a blessing.

A visit to mom and dad's grave site

at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Ossian, IND.

Placing some new flowers in their honor.

and missing them for this family event.

A time to be with Kate Graft also.

She was certainly a gift to my dad after mom died.

A chance to visit and catch up with cousin Derek also.

He works alot of weekends- s

o making it to these events is a challenge.

 headed to Decatur for the reception.

The beautiful poppy red of the bridesmaids

The happy newlyweds- Korah and Jared

a lovely bride

Silly Sisters

Precious time together

And in the morning this is what I found-

A Nest-

some things don't change.

And as we see the growing young adults,

with the Lord leading them-

forging new pathways-

 My prayer?
