"Blessed is every one who fears the LORD,Who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands,You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house,Your children like olive plants All around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the LORD. The LORD bless you out of Zion,And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life. Yes, may you see your children's children." Psalm 128

Baby Shower

After 4 months of trying, we finally were able to schedule a baby shower for Jana and baby Elizabeth Peiffer and baby Sara and me. Here are Jana and I with our beautiful daughters.

The day was so special and a wonderful time of fellowship with the ladies of Providence. Janice read us a poem that her grandmother wrote. What a blessing to have a written heritage such as that.

Stacy wrote a prayer for each of the girls and the parents - Thank you, Stacy.

Several other ladies also wrote words of blessing and encouragement for us and our daughters - Thank you. We are blessed by your words.

Then we had the fun of opening gifts. Girls clothes are so fun and cute! Thank you to everyone for coming to the shower and celebrating God's gifts to our families.
