Just a quick note as we head out on a family vacation, with a stop at our family reunion on the way. Through friends we met at AHOPE, we were invited to take a much needed rest at a home on Whidbey Island. We are so thankful!

Russ and I have great plans to spend lots of down time with our kids, especially the youngest six who have not had much time with us these last weeks. Even our three big boys are able to come along; and Sweet Pea will join us on the weekend.

I hope to do some writing and blogging while we’re gone, but most of all, I plan to rest and enjoy my family.

Thank you for all of your prayers and good wishes for Andrew and Mimi. They are off on a glorious honeymoon —  and quite happy.
