Update: Hello...anyone out there?

Yep, I seem to have good intentions of writing here, but *other* things just seem to take precedence over this blog. So, I will endeavor to write here once a week (maybe more if I can!) Can someone hold accountable...anyone here?

An update from what has been happening here on our little neck of the woods!

Our oldest DS continues to work and live in DC with his gf, Hannah.
Here he and Simon did the Warrior Dash this year...and went to visit grandparents in Ohio.

 

 Of course, Seth enjoys his niece...she makes it into a lot of photos!

Our youngest graduated high school homeschool last year:

Simon was a camp counselor at Skycroft for three weeks this year. Top row- 2nd man from the right! He enjoyed being on the other side, since this was a camp he went to with his Youth group for several years as a high school student.

He is currently taking community college courses and continues to work PT at SGT.

We also have been blessed by our DD and DSIL having our first grand baby. (who is now 7 months old) Sorry, I haven't share more photos, but will try and do that more often.

From a wedding we attended this past weekend...Grandpa's little girl! Mom and Dad shown below at the same wedding.

Also, our Marine asked his Marine gf to marry him on Valentines day. and then married her in April:

**Well, enough of photos...if you enjoyed catching up here, hope you will post a comment and let me know you are reading this!
Till the next time.

Trust in the Lord

Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (NIV)

First coloring book I picked up called, "Color the Promises of God" artwork by Lori Seibert. Just finished my first page. Learning to blend colors.

Verse of the Day

[Col 3:17 NIV] 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Baby Esther is Born!

Baby Esther was born at 3:44 p.m. on this day. Weighing 7lbs. 6.7oz and was 20 in he's long. What a exciting day for the Ephraim and Spaulding families! Grandma was so happy to have been able to witness the first grandbaby to be born into the Spaulding clan. We praise the Lord for Esther'seems safe arrival. We couldn'the be more proud of this precious one.

Happy New Year!

A new year and a new family member to join in, can't wait for our dear girl and her husband to be blessed with their first child and our first grandchild!
