Love this.

Ten ways to love.


1.Listen without interrupting. (Proverbs 18)


2.Speak without accusing. (James 1:19)


3.Give without sparing. (Proverbs 21:26)


4.Pray without ceasing. (Colossians 1:9)


5.Answer without arguing. (Proverbs 17:1)


6.Share without pretending. (Ephesians 4:15)


7.Enjoy without complaint. (Philippians 2:14)


8.Trust without wavering. (Corinthians 13:7)


9.Forgive without punishing. (Colossians 3:13)


10.Promise without forgetting. (Proverbs 13:12)


I love this. .Thought provoking. I borrowed it from my daughter here. Twenty year olds can be so simply smart sometimes

Feeding the Ducks


Yesterday the weather was so beautiful. We went to visit Felicia at her new apartment and walked over to feed the ducks.



Felicia, Audra, Katrina and Ewan


Felicia and Liana

This crazy goose actually hissed at us when we ran out of bread!



These photos of Katrina and her son Ewan feeding the ducks are so much like the photos from when we took Katrina to the duck pond in November 1984. Below is Katrina, age 28, with Ewan age 2 1/2 is pregnant with her second son.






 Below is Katrina, almost 2, with her mom (Me) age 23 and pregnant with my second daughter.

Audra is 12!

With a birthday on Christmas Eve it has always been difficult for Audra to have a birthday party, but with our big family there always seem to be enough people to celebrate. This year dad made his famous french crepes for lunch and 3 of her friends from the neighborhood were able to come for cake. Family, friends, cake and presents - Happy Birthday Audie! (note the center picture, she is standing in the stocking that she came home from the hospital in, a yearly tradition)
