True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours."

It's Been a Good First Week Home
Zeke the wolf
JT and his teacher at Grandparents Day
Gunnar, Qatar and Cenny
Besides all that goes with being gone for 2 months and all the catching up that has to be done we have enjoyed our grandkids in their activities this week. We started on Thursday night with the Ellis Middle School play Jungle Book. Zeke was one of the wolves with lines and he did quite well. Friday Banfield Elementary School had Grandparents Day, which was fun for JT. Saturday night was the Austin High School musical Once upon a Mattress. Gunnar was the lead Prince, Qatar was a Knight and Cenny was at the beginning of the show as they introduced the story. She is not in high school but they need younger children to tell the story to and since she already had two brothers in the show - she was a natural. They did not mic the show so much of it was hard to understand but Gunnar has not only a beautiful voice but also a very strong one so I was able to enjoy his singing. All the voices sounded amazingly good just hard for my ears to distinguish all the words when to soft. Qatar had his pants ripped off in one scene to reveal the long johns he is holding in the picture.
The begining of our happiness - front row: Paige, Heidi, Lisa, Amanda, Kristi; back row: Randy, Rick, Eileen, Steven. We started with 7 children and have now added 6 spouses and 25 grandchildren - the Joy and Happiness just multiplies!
