Continued Labor Day Special

Richard got the hole dug, the problem figured out, made a flying trip to Lowes before they closed, and the job was finished by flashlight!

Polka Dot Cookies for Polka Dot Night at Awana. The kids had a great time "earning" dot stickers during the night to put on their face, neck or arms. Highly recommend this theme night!

Labor Day Special. It wasn't good when Richard came in from mowing and announced there was water bubbling out of the ground out by the well. After the last experience with the "professionals" three years ago, Richard decided he would tackle this one himself. The boys urged him to rent a backhoe......he went for the shovel method!

A Wonderful Weekend

We celebrated Dad's 95th birthday with a fun family celebration this weekend. So many sweet memories were made. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Dad enjoyed all the birthday greeting cards he received and the family time on Saturday & Sunday.

Time for family photos

Kayla hopped right up on Dad's lap for another conversation.

Little Kendall kept rubbing her face on Mother's sleeve because "it's so soft!" So precious. Another post will soon follow with more family photo.
