our family has some exciting news….

no, it’s not another dog…

that’s right! Amber and Jesse are expecting a baby in May 2010!!!

They came for a visit this weekend, which gave us the blessing of being able to celebrate this new miracle together as a family.

Dad enjoyed watching Mike and Jesse play golf on the putting green…

He looks pretty stylin’ in my sunglasses, wouldn’t you say…

It was a beautiful day by the river…

Together as a family we attended the worship service held at the Towers. It was a special time. When we sang Jesus Loves Me, it brought tears to my eyes. Maybe it was the simplicity of that song or maybe it was just hearing those precious people sing the best they could. There were even a few “amens” as the Word was shared. Good times!

Afterwards we brought in some good junk food for lunch, which Dad enjoyed like the rest of us.

The best part of the weekend was seeing this…

that familiar gentle smile from the man we all love and respect.

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed my heritage is beautiful to me…

In your presence is fullness of joy;
In your right hand there are pleasures forever.

Psalm 16:6, 11
