My Grandfather's Cousin's Grandchildren, Becky and Keith, and Great-Grand-daughter, Rachel came up for a visit this weekend!!! To save time, we just say we're 'kinfolk'.....it's a lot faster! :)

Along the way, there were so many little flowers on the way...you almost don't see them, unless you look for them, but I think they are God's little reminders for us that he's always there for us, and loves us!!!!! :D
"He leads me beside the still waters"
"Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests;
but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head."
"You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy;
at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Group picture - It's sorta like a group hug, but more fun!!!
Daniel, Rachel, Becky and Keith
Peter, Sarah, Daddy and Esther
