"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope". Jeremiah 29:11


Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble". Matthew 6:28b-34

Happy Birthday Girls

Retta blowing out her candles with a little help from mommy.
New boots (she calls them her "cow boots" because she loves going out to the barn to feed calves with Erin!) and a beautiful pink ball from Grandpa and Grandma Slayton.

And Shoes from Aunt Sharon, of course!


My siblings with my nieces. Diana and Louisa affectionately refer to them as "the aunts and uncles" -so funny!



Loretta getting her quilt from her great-grandma Graham, my mother's mom. Four generations!



Joanna's 3rd birthday portrait; she's such a dainty little lady!



Love the expression on her face! I really enjoyed watching her take time with her cards-like she was reading every word!



The cluster of anticipation!


Can we unwrap the present now?! Isn't it funny how when it's YOUR birthday, each moment is savoured, and the onlookers want to tear off the paper for you?!



Niece Sarah playing "Ride 'em Cowboy!"

  1. Looks like a very fun birthday. :)

    I'm just curious, but is your family Amish? We don't really have any out here so I really don't know what I'm talking about, I just wondered from some of the pictures. :)
