Happy Birthday Aunt "Ia" or My Dear Sister, Lydia!

We wanted to wish Lydia a Happy Birthday! Her birthday was September 19th. Thirty sweet years of knowing you! May the Lord continue to use you as you serve Him faithfully!

The children have grown since we saw Aunt Lydia last! This was last December ~ winter hats are not normal attire in Arizona. This was only at the Grand Canyon! BRRR!

Aunt Lydia came and visited for Christmas.

Ruthanne enjoys talking to Aunt "Ia" and asks where she is. She loves to go through both sides of the family and ask where each one is in a day!



Sisters 4 ever! Love you! Have a special birthday!

Busy children!

Out for a walk

We stopped for a rest

The shade was nice

Away we go!

It's a long way home!

Mommy's little helper! Nathan went and got the dustpan and broom t clean up a mess. No one told him to. He just likes everything in its place!

Helping is fun!

Early in the morning Ruthanne likes to watch the children get in the School bus.

A picnic with all our friends  

Yum!

A hotdog

All sorts of good things to eat!

A Walk in the Park
