My husband's side of the family seems to grow and grow. During the Thanksgiving holiday when most of us were together, my sister in laws and I got the brilliant idea to take some family pictures. We felt like we had accomlished a great feat when everyone got together dressed alike and ready to pose - (well almost!).

Here is the whole bunch (minus 2 families who live away)

These are my wonderful in-laws...

and their four sons...


They had to wait until the four boys married to get some girls, but I think they are happy with their daughter in laws!



This is me and my favorite of the guys!!


We all did a family photo, this is me and my guys!


And here are my nieces and nephews:


In this family, the boys outnumber a bit, here are my nephews:


Here are my sweet nieces!


Just as soon as the pictures were taken, these girls got busy!

Overall, the photo shoot went great!
Don't tell Granpa, he's a bit particular about his hay, but the boys loved the hay barn!








What a beautiful way to capture a blessed Thanksgiving! Thank you Lord, for all of your blessings!
We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His strength and His wonderful works that He
has done. Psalms 78:4

    The hay bales are a great backdrop! I don't know that I've ever seen bales stacked that high that weren't square bales! Wow!

    Looks like you had a lot of fun!
    Blessings,

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block.

We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
