Lots of new family!

Lee has 7 kids and 12 grand-kids, so our marriage makes lots of new family for both of us!  This is a picture of Lee, holding his youngest grandson, Bryce.  I think it was Monday that we went out to eat with Bryce and his two older sisters, Peyton and Maddy, as well as their mom and dad, Krissy and Chris.  We have been meeting family right and left as well as friends this week.  It has been wonderful.  The rest of the time we are sorting through Lee's belongings.  My car is loaded, but we have his truck yet to load.  We have some trips to make with it before we load it, though, as well as Lee's high school reunion tomorrow night and Saturday night.  I'm hoping to get a good night's rest tonight to brace for this weekend.  Both our backs are complaining about all the lifting and moving we're doing.  I wish I knew a smarter way to do this, but I think we have to just take it a little at a time until we are moved.  We'll take as much little stuff as we can with his truck and then when the house in Hobart is ready to receive all his things, we'll get a big truck and take the big things.  That's our vague plan.  We're taking it little at a time, but there is so much to do!

I thank God for a purpose in life, for family and friends and for energy and strong bodies.  We are richly blessed!
