October 3rd!


Happy Birthday to me!

Tim and I had dinner last night with Cheryl, Ron, and their beautiful daughters. It was an early gift to myself. 

Emma and Isla leave today.  What a blessing to have had them here for nearly a week.  We've made lots of memories.  We are going to miss them so much, but we are thankful they will be back for Thanksgiving!






I'm going to have lunch with my mom, too.

October has become a month of celebration for our family.  Our other Birthdays this month are my daughter in law Kayleigh, Isla, Klaire, my brother in law Dan, and my mother in law will be 96 on the 31st!


We don't know how many days the Lord has allotted for us, so we should treat each day as a gift.  We are thinking of those who have been so greatly impacted by the tragedy in Las Vegas Sunday night. Its heartbreaking....

  1. So glad you had these days to cherish with family and friends.
    We DON'T know what lies in our futures. I'm thankful we DO know the Lord of our futures...♥

  5. Yes, we can not afford to be cavalier with the time God has given us, neither should we be a slave to tHaT thought for if we trust Him and lean on Him, He himself will lead us along.

    So glad that the families were able to have dinner together last night! I’ll be looking for Cheryl’s comments.

    Oh wonderful that this year is your turn for Thanksgiving. How fun that will be!

    Love the photo of Sarah and Isla at the piano...sweetness. 💕

  6. Happy Birthday, Deanna! How wonderful to celebrate with loved ones! The wee ones are too cute! Our only birthday this month is my grandson's on the 31st. May and September are our busy birthday months and it's nice to have a break from so many at once. But you're right, in this world full of uncertainty and tragedy, we would do well to remember this day and every day is a gift from Him. Have a beautiful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi
