a lil update and Picture Post

A few weeks ago we took a lil family vacation. We stopped at my sisters place in Baker City then onto Boise/Meridian/Emmett ID area. Then on our way back towards home we stopped at my SIL's place in Tri-Cities. It was a blessed trip ...ending with sadness. We got the news the day before we went home that Leon's Uncle Jimmy suddenly passed away. We were home one day before flying out with just our youngest to NH. Now today we wait ...waiting for the Angels to call Leon's Uncle Mike home to glory.(he has been fighting brain cancer) This is life...living...and dying...and through it all Jesus is with us, loving us and strengthening us. I am ever thankful for my Lord and Savior!
