THE BIRTHDAY BOY.........NATE....

Happy Birthday to our dear Nate who turns 5 today. Here he is ...... one of his favorite pastimes is listening to Grandpa Jim read books to him before bedtime......

At Miles and Arlene's place for dinner one Sunday after church......they are neighbours and live just two doors down from them......

He loves his daddy and here he is celebrating with his daddy and little sister on their birthdays.......

With his best bud, Noah........He absolutely adores his older cousin and loves spending time with him.......
NATE....THE GREAT is one of his nicknames and as is with all our grandchildren....he is one special little person with a loving heart, a mischievous twinkle in his eye and boundless energy.....he is thoughtful and loves to make pictures for his mommy and daddy...he is helpful, fun and makes us laugh. He has an infectious giggle and loves to help Grandpa fix things.....any type of car or truck or motorcycle intrigues him....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE........WE LOVE YOU........
Much love and prayers,
Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Jim

sister-time......

Thursday of last week, my sister Joyce and her hubby came to town for Roy's cousin's funeral. They stayed with Doreen, Roy's sister. So I spent a better part of the afternoon visiting with them. It was so fun and just what I needed. I get very lonesome sometimes for my sisters and this was just the best.

This couple is just so young looking for their age. I can't believe that they are still farming and they keep their farmyard like a park. It is just beautiful......they plant a large vegetable garden plus Joyce has all kinds of flowers. It is just the best to go and visit them on the farm, truly a relaxing and wonderful time.

I am so thankful for my sisters and what they mean to me. Another blessing in our lives.

some beautiful sunny days.....
