Milkshakes and Faithfulness

Last night I went on a run/walk. It was nice. Something I haven't done in a while, and something I was feeling the need for. See, life is a bit full lately. Full in both good and hard ways. Joey's grandpa, Papa, passed away last Saturday, just 7 weeks after his wife, Ma, passed away. It is an end of an era, a point of transition in our family. As I was out last night I was reminded of the Lords faithfulness. In the big and the little. He knows our every need and he meets it, time and time again. There have been so many times in the past weeks I have seen him move and do incredible things, and I have known his faithfulness. There have been even more times in the past weeks that I have felt peace or joy or awe and again I have known his faithfulness. I want to tell you all about Papa, the kind of man he was, the life he lived, etc. But if its ok with you all, I think I'll wait. Just let it all sink in and wait and see what sort of incredible moments of peace the Lord brings. Until then here are a few photos of life...

Joey made the boys milkshakes. They LOVED it!

Reading has become the newest pastime here in our house. Even William gets in on it.

Quite possibly our cutest kid yet! We cannot get enough of this boy!

These two kill us daily with crazy statements and random stories.

The middle 5 cousins. There are three older cousins, and three babies. These boys have too much fun. Here they are watching a movie together. I love getting to hear them laugh and play together. Praise the Lord for this year living next door to cousins!
