Such a treat to have Seth home for a short visit - we have missed him a lot since he moved to San Francisco this past March. So good to spend time with him, and we loved having him here for a Family Meal the end of October. It filled this mother's heart to have two sons home, and also two daughters - and so blessed to have a son-in-law, and four grandkids here, as well. (And missing the two daughters, three sons-in-law, and six grandkids who could not be here). My heart just overflows when family fills our home.
The evening was also our time to celebrate Levi's 10th birthday, which had been earlier in the month. Amy made a fun pudding/oreo cake for him with Halloween decor, as our celebration was just a few days before Halloween. The grandkids had so much fun together - love the sounds of children happily at play in our home. Happy 10th Birthday, Levi!

Beautiful family, Cherry...precious times together are so special! My daughter married military, so she and her sweet family are always remote from us...but god gives grace!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you could have family back home again, Cherry! Our family is quite small, but we don't seem to get together very often. I agree that family gatherings are such a blessing! Keep counting them!!
