Reasons to Celebrate

We had many reasons to celebrate last weekend. First reason:
Jonathan Abbott, son of Melissa and Kyle, made a safe entrance into this world. Another darling baby to hold!

Reason #2:

We finally got around to celebrating our May and June birthdays, Emilee, Bonnie, and Stephanie (Ben's celebration took place in early May) and the graduations of Emilee and Danny. It was a perfect evening for a bonfire in the orchard, with just a little rain to help put out the fire at the end of the party.

Reason #3:

The blessing of Daniel Nathan on Sunday. Nate gave him a beautiful blessing and then he and Sam hosted a barbecue in their backyard after church.

We are so blessed in many ways. I love my family and am grateful for each one of them.
