Congratulations!!!!!

Our first congratulations goes to Hosanna and Nate! He surprised her this week by knocking on the door and giving her a beautiful ring! 

We are excited to see what God has planned for this awesome young couple!!! Hosanna is just beaming these days!!

Then a big congratulations goes out to Amos and Rebekah on a gift from God - an adorable little girl - Ilana Joyce!!!

She is such an adorable little girl with lots of dark hair. What a joy she brings to the family!

Okay, this might be boring to most of you but Miriam and I cleaned the pantry this winter! It was getting so bad and after Miriam painted most of the shelves, and we chucked a bunch of stuff, you can finally walk in the room! I'm so glad for this little room of ours!! Then Arthur built some extra shelves on the short wall you can't see so that was a blessing too!

Last Sunday we celebrated both Hosanna and Priscilla's birthdays by having the relatives over.

Like always, the ladies hang out in the kitchen!

You can't have a party without a large game of Dutch Blitz!

Can you guess what song the grandkids are illustrating? We enjoyed having them stay here when Rebekah had the baby!

Arthur has made a lot of trips out to the forest to get wood for next winter. Big pieces for this stove, little pieces for another stove! Around here you can buy an area that loggers have cleared off to get wood. Some of it is kinda scrappy but its fairly easy to get.

Yesterday Naomi and Aaron stopped by with the little ones and they showed us the cakes they made for the Homeschool Fair.

So that sums up the last few weeks.  Now we wait for Naomi to call and ask to watch her children so she can have their baby!

Have a wonderful day everyone enjoying the blessings God sends your way!
