We are looking forward to holding James and Jerard again soon.
Our friends recently sent us a few pictures of the boys!

We had a good trip to Wisconsin.
It was good to reconnect with relatives, even if just for a short while.
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild.
A tradition at the family reunion is to end by singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." It is a beautiful song, filled with musical harmony from all the musically gifted singers in our family.
God be with you till we meet again;
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you;
God be with you till we meet again.
God be with you till we meet again;
Neath His wings protecting hide you;
Daily manna still provide you;
God be with you till we meet again.
God be with you till we meet again;
When life's perils thick confound you;
Put His arms unfailing round you;
God be with you till we meet again.
God be with you till we meet again;
Keep love's banner floating o'er you,
Strike death's threatening wave before you;
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
We arrived safely in Wisconsin after 8 1/2 hours travel time. It is good to see some of our relatives. Tomorrow we go to a Family Reunion picnic.
