Happy Birthday to Audrey

Dear Friends,

As you can see, we're still enjoying sweet Rebecca's newborn-ness; it's hard to believe that she's two weeks old already!

We celebrated Audrey's eleventh birthday this weekend with a little family get-together (While taking turns holding the baby, of course)~

Complete with a horsey gingerbread cake!

We are so blessed to have Audrey in our family. Her love for babies and small children, and her "ABC Learning Center" daycare is a great service to her mother!

We are having another day of sunshine, and it might even make it into the 70s! This has been a very cold, wet spring, and it seems odd to think that Midsummer's Day is coming up soon. It still feels like April to us! We hope that we'll have some warmer weather coming, even though we are of course grateful for all the rain that has kept things wonderfully green.

Before we leave you, we thought we'd give you (and ourselves) a little challenge this week. When things go wrong, or we feel discouraged or depressed, let's try singing all of the hymns and happy songs that we know, and see what difference it makes! It makes us sad to live in a culture where singing is no longer appreciated or welcomed, but perhaps we can change that just by always having a song on our lips, and not worrying about what others think.

Here's a nice hymn to get you started :) ~



Love,
