Thank you dear friends...

...for this sweet gift, and for remembering our children. They are beautiful! We love you and are so thankful to have you close by.


Arabia fynd i Burkburnett

Weslie hittade det här på loppis häromdagen. Hade aldrig trott att man skulle kunna hitta Arabia här, men det trodde jag inte om Iittala heller. Ändå kom han hem med några Iittala kartano efterrättsskålar for nagra manader sedan.

Grattis på födelsedagen, Finland!

För första gången har vi blåvita ljus brinnande i fönstret. Tack mamma och pappa!

Alabama Cousins

We went to Alabama for Edith's birthday and Thanksgiving, and for the first time, we got to meet all of Edith's cousins. Weslie's brother and family from California were home too, and we are so excited to now have a picture of all the cousins together.

More old photos, months behind as usual..



Littlest Cousin

And here is Edith with her youngest cousin, Magda, born in June. She sure loved holding her.


New Old Farmhouse

And some more pictures from Finland. Checking out my brother Joel's and his wife Janina's newly built house, a farmhouse in old Finnish style. They built it all by themselves and it is so beautiful. Good job, little brother!
