It was a great trip

We enjoyed being back in the midwest amongst the trees, grass and falling leaves. We ate lots of bbq, bought some books at Lifeway (there are no Lifeway stores in Arizona), and saw some dear friends.

I promise Kesed is a happy baby!

We did not get pictures with all the people we were able to see and we also were not able to see all the friends we wanted to see. However, we were thankful for our friends the Yates coming over to see us. I got a bunch of pictures of the kids, so I will just put them all in another post. Here is Emsleigh and her buddy Josiah snuggling for movie.

We spent a day in Pattonsburg. The Yates now live in our old home since Dan took the pastorate at Pattonsburg. God is going to use them in great ways in Pattonsburg and we are so excited they are there. One thing I really wanted was Pattonsburg cooking. Me and my tummy were extra grateful for the carry-in dinner after church. It was fun talking and being with the church family. We miss them very much.

We told Emsleigh we were going to go to Josiah's house. When we stopped by the house Emsleigh said, "This is my old house, where's Josiah's house?"

Some things never change....this was last February

We went out to Miriam's grave. Emsleigh is slowly learning about Miriam. She knows Miriam was sick when she was born and that she is with Jesus now. The other day she asked to go to Miriam's grave. She also asked to see Miriam. I was glad that her sister is starting to resonate with her.

I wish I would have taken more pictures. I did get some with the Lamberts. Love the Lamberts. We miss them and many others so much.

As you can see it didn't take Emsleigh long to remember her Rhonda!

AND, on a side note, yes I did go to Panera every morning...
