Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderfully blessed Christmas yesterday. It all included sleeping in a little, opening presents, breakfast, church services, turkey dinner, and lots of visiting with our family. We (the six of us living here) were joined by son, Malcham, and son, Tim, and his family (Joy, Mark, and Stephanie). We got calls from other children and their families and got to Skype with Anna and her family (Tom, Christian, Karissa, and Bryce) who were visiting with his folks in Indiana. Nice!

Time sure does fly. It seems so hard to take time to post anything, but I love hearing about others. Here are a few pictures from when I got to visit Michael and Jenny in October.

NEW GRANDBABY!

We are all so very happy to announce the safe arrival of Candence Abigail Muth, daughter of Michael and Jenny, born September 5, 2011. She weighed in at 8 lb. 4 oz. Her two brothers, Aaron and Evan, are very happy to have her in their family, too!
We paise the Lord for her safe delivery.

On July 4th, we were invited to go to John and Debbie Canaday's cabin for a visit. They have a really nice place and we feel honored to have been invited to join them for a nice barbecue. We even got to play a (new to us) game of Kubb. Praise the Lord for friends and nice mountains to enjoy.

Time sure does go by fast! July was a very busy and HOT month. Malcham and Tim were at camp for four weeks. They had much fun as they directed the games and other aspects of camp, and saw many campers make good decisions to accept the Lord as their Savior or to live for Him. Mary went to camp for two different weeks; she worked her first week as a cook and the last week as a counselor. Our two younger grandchildren, Austin and Ethan, attended the first week as campers. I think everyone had a great time!

This is a picture of Malcham and his Friend, Ethan, who helped him move to his new apartment.

It's official. Malcham moved out as of July 1st. He was very happy; I was very emotional. It's okay. Malcham left on good terms. He will be living in an apartment with one of his college friends, Henry. This month, he is spending almost all of his time at Camp Salvation, being the game director for all four weeks of camp.
