Visiting Daniel and Sara October, 2020

Daniel and Sara bought their first house in West Virginia and we were so excited to see it. They invited us up and we went for a long weekend. We enjoyed "chef Daniel's" pork roast smoked to perfection. We went hiking at a beautiful park. Daniel and John watched the UNC football game and Sara, Abbey, Elijah and I took a walk. We loved seeing our kids thriving in their new environment!

These smoke stacks are at a factory that made a chemical used in the atomic bomb making.

We learned a new game..."Bang!"

Somebody was feeling the activity...

This fella lives in the vacant lot next to Daniel and Sara's house.

Celebrating Elijah joining our family- Sept. 15, 2020

My youngest baby boy has been home for 11 years! I can not imagine our family without him! He loves deep and his emotions are always out there. He is so analytical and has a great attention to detail. These past few months, he has started to grow. He is almost as tall as I am! We love this young man, and are all so glad that God gave him to us!

Abbey's 14th Birthday

This lovely young lady turned 14 Sept. 6, 2020. Her birthday was on Labor Day weekend. We celebrated at the beach with Beth, Greg, Evie and Jude. The next week, she had 3 of her swim friend come to the beach for a weekend celebration. 

For a birthday presents, Beth and Greg paid for us all to watch the real person Mulan.

There was a storm which made the ocean really rough.

The ocean was so rough, they opted for a tide pool.

Tide pool big enough to swim in.
