This is a picture I got of Raynie tonight. She is so much fun! She looks so much like Sadie did at this age. We've looked at pictures of Sadie and Raynie thinks they're all her. :)
Woo hoo! It's so fun to have the kids here. We sure miss Gabe and their dad, but we're still having fun. Raynie is such a chatter box; it's really fun to get to hear her say so much. Just think; this time last year she was just getting back to eating good after her surgery on the roof of her mouth for the cleft palate. She is talking beautifully and you'd never know she had a problem.
We've played lots of cards and eaten lots of favorite things. The time is flying past, but we're enjoying every moment and we're so glad to have them here. I thank God for some kids close to home! I thank Him for all our other kids, too, and for opportunities to go to see them.
Our niece, Deanna lives in Tennessee and her husband, John, is in Missouri for a month of training with the Army guard (he's full time with them). She took off this weekend for a quick trip to Missouri with their 3 boys since they had a long weekend and John had a day off. I thank God for their safe travel and a weekend together, too.
I hope your holiday weekend is as good as ours has been!
Thank you, Aunt Grammy! It was a wild and crazy trip, but loads of fun and I am so thankful that we had the opportunity to surprise him. God is good and we are so thankful for his blessings (& safe trips!). Love you bunches!

No kidding! It's amazing how great our God is and how wonderfully He blesses us! I'm so glad you made that trip. I know it was a great experience for the boys and a thrill for John to see you all. You're a good military wife; Papasan and Mamasan would be so proud and pleased!
