HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA


Today is my daughter-in-law's birthday. I don't know about everyone reading this blog - but have you noticed all the birthdays we celebrate in the summer in my family?

Laura has been a part of our lives now for 6 years. She met Jacob when they both were working at the Riverbend Baptist Camp. They have been married for the last two years. I don't think I would describe Laura's first impression of Jacob's family as shock. It was more of a slow immersion of acceptance (or tolerance) on her part. Kind of like someone easing into the cold water instead of jumping in head first. I mean, she didn't even flinch this year when Robert gave her a muzzle loader as a graduation present in May. Wow! What a trooper she is!





Happy Birthday Laura and thanks for everything you bring to our family!

Walk Down Memory Lane

Robert and I celebrated our 27th year of marriage this month. The above picture taken by Brian Franklin shows that I am still am deeply in love with Robert after all this time. I went through our pictures and tried to put them in chronological order. I used two things to help me. Number one: the place we were living, because we have moved more than our fair share. Number two: the length of Robert's mustache - notice how it seems to get longer with age.
