Feathers

For the first time sense we have been grandparents to five grandbabies...
we took them all.
Emily and Christ celebrated their 10th anniversary on May 10th.
Lacey celebrated her 26th birthday on May 9th.
K celebrated his 28th birthday on May 14th.
They planned a get away to a cabin up in Brainard.
They, meaning, the mom's and dads.
Who would care for the children?
Oh, we would love to.
We all had supper and Grandma Doris's apartment on Thursday for Lacey's birthday.
The kids were all gathered and put to bed and then Lacey, K and Emily drove back to Foley for the night.  They left for Brainard after having a nice breakfast at ______.
Grandma Jan from Foley has a beautiful cabin on Lake _________.
Meanwhile on the home front I have taken Friday off . The kids, Robin and Grandma Dorius head to NewUlm.  We stop by Schmidts meat market in Nicollette to pick up some piggy meat that Duey gave us (we just had to pay for processing which was $64.00 for 1/2 a piggie).
As we are leaving Nicollette and heading to NewUlm Jordyn and Nola are sitting in their carseats in the middle of the van.  They are looking out the window and Nola says " look at that house over there Jordyn" ...                  Jordyn looks out the window and says "whewr, over dere?"
I couldn't help but laugh at their great big grown up conversation about a house in Nicollette.  They are so happy to be together!
In the back seat are Conner and Jaci with Robin in the middle.  We go through the drive through of McDonald's and meet up with Carol down at the park.
The kids all play together quite well and actually meet a couple of other kids.
Leaving here we head to the Hackers pig farm to check out the baby pigs.
It is a long hot day and they are glad to be out of the van again.
It was an absolutely perfect day if you don't count in the incident of the feather...
Lindsey and Cassie come Friday evening to spend the week-end with us and help gramma Dorius and I with all the kids.  This is wonderful - it's two fold - not only will Lindsey help us... but, we will get to have Cassie too!
Thank You Lord Jesus for perfect day, for family and friends.
Thank You Lord Jesus for a perfect day, for parks, food and conversations.
Thank You Lord Jesus for baby piggies, chickens, walks and Your unconditional love.
...and sometimes when a feather gets in the way, causing fights between brothers and sisters -
help us to have the grace,forgiveness and love to continue on with the perfect day You have given us!
Amen
