A Nice Weekend

I wrote this last week, but since I've been having problems just got to posting it...

First, I wanted to thank you all for your prayers last weekend as it was the one year mark of Samuel's home-going. The Lord was very good to us through it all. The headstone was laid when we went out there on Sunday which was a praise! We also were able to see where Seth's sister, Beverly, was laid to rest. It was a bitter-sweet day. Since we've crossed the date, the Lord has given us both an incredible peace that I can't explain. We still miss him so much, but we both know that this is what the Lord had in mind from the beginning. Again, thank you all for your prayers, the Lord has heard them and has been gracious to us!

We are in recovery mode from our trip to Iowa this past weekend. Seth, Wesley, Trevor and I went up. The boys went to the ISU vs. OU game on Saturday while I spent time with the family. It was so nice to be with them all. I miss them so much and can't wait to go back for Thanksgiving when we can hopefully spend a little more time together!

We had a nice time at a picnic in the park with Clayton and Halle. It was such a beautiful day at 75 degrees and sunny!

We also got to spend time with my brother and his wife's girls, Nora and one month old, Gillian. Little Gillian slept most the time, she was just so sweet and precious! Nora was a little shy and didn't talk much (I know she can, but she was just a little intimidated by everyone or stubborn one of the two!). They are just so sweet.

Hope you all had a nice weekend as well!
