Cherished Family and Friends

Cousin Time

 Thankful this crew was able to

all be together for a barbeque at Josiah and Kelsey's
home in Regina.

...birthdays and anniversaries

When we got together on June 1st, we never

actually got to the cake, so kind of missed a pic of

Grandma's 75th birthday.

June also included Josiah's 23rd birthday

and Kelsey and Josiah's 2nd Anniversary.

The picture below was on Ken and Helen's

56th wedding anniversary.
Since Tyler and Kelsey were down, we got a

cake to also celebrate Kelsey's 24th and Barb's 50th

birthdays.  Kelsey and Tyler will also celebrate

3 years of marriage on July 23rd.

Barb got to spend her 50th Birthday with these special peeps!

Babies!

Vanna celebrated

A beautiful shower put on by Charissa's friends

for her and baby Vanna.  

Great Auntie Bonnie, Grandma Elaine, Great Grandma Helen,

Joy and Sorrow

 Vanna Linnea came into the world on May 12th.

There were scary days in NICU, but we got lots of you

to pray for her with us and we were beyond thrilled

to celebrate her going home.
We are so thankful that God miraculously healed her!

 Then there was great joy as Vanna and Adaline
got to meet the family.

But all the joy turned to great sorrow

when we got news that Dale and Eric

were tragically killed in a vehicle accident.

Please pray for Barb and Charissa and Dylan.

The Chessall family and Calibaba family too.

Thankful for the strength God has given

them all amidst this new reality.
Thankful for the hope we have in Christ 

when things don't make sense to us.

Over 1,800 people came to remember

these two men that meant so much to our family.
