Hip! Hip! Hooray!! We picked our Sam up at camp today!!!!!!

After 20 minutes in a HOT shower, we were off

to celebrate Sam's homecoming at his favorite

Mexican restaurant . . . El Jeffe!!!!

You can see that it did not take Sam long to get back

into the REAL world . . . including text messaging!!!

We love you mucho, Sam!!!!!

A hot shower, yummy one-pound burrito, and a good

night's sleep . . . Sam will be back to normal tomorrow!!!!

Welcome home SAM!!!!

First Harvest

Our FIRST zucchini from our GARDEN was picked

and made into ZUCCHINI MUFFINS using

Gram's world famous recipe!!

One of Luke's biggest concerns when Gram died

was that the zucchini bread making

tradition would be no longer.

As soon as we had a zucchini big enough to pick and

make into bread, that is exactly what we did!

Here's to you Gram!! Guess who had the first muffin!?!

It's so EASY to forget . . .

We, meaning I, tend to sweat the small stuff.

After all, it is ALL small stuff . . . according to God.

Reminding myself, take a moment and PRAY!!!

Biola, Baby!

Yep, it's true!! Zach is going to BIOLA!!!!

Whew! We are so excited that he has made such

a great decision and is headed to a wonderful

small CHRISTian college!!
