Home again

While most of you hard-working moms & kids were diligently beginning another school year last week, we had the privilege of spending some wonderful days at Rock Lake Lodge! :)
and the Lord gave us such lovely weather!! Wow!
We thank Him for the rich blessings we again enjoyed there
with loved ones!

Bethany finally decided to take her first series of steps on her own, after first practicing a lot by walking around holding my hand...
The week before she had managed to walk 2 steps, but that was all she ever dared to do. Since getting home on Saturday, she has now become much more comfortable with walking & does 8 or 9 steps or more before falling. We are just thrilled! :) I've never had such a late walker -- she is almost 16 months already, and our other 5 were all walking at a year or so. So this is all the more exciting because
we've been waiting so long! :)

Oh Sharon - now that Bethany is walking, she looks so much older than Vetta! Glad you had such a nice time at the cottage - I'm sure it was extra nice to be with your own family after spending the conference week away from them. Though we were diligently starting school here, I would have rather been at the cottage! :)

Oh, such wonderful memories. Wish we were still there! But life goes on... Way to go Bethany!
