Back in Idaho~I arrived safely back in Idaho July 13th - 11 pm.
Amy met me at the airport - 37 1/2 wks pregnant.
It was odd seeing the darkness again...and the heat -
well let's just say I did NOT miss the Idaho heat.
I did miss the 'fam' in Idaho~
Owen is excited that soon he will be 5 yrs
and Reece will be two.
(Grama is behind in her blogging assignments~
Reece's bday was the 15th and Owen's the 20th)

Some bathing suits are different than others~
Jordan and Zoe wanted to show Grama their new tricks.

It is so nice to be missed~
At least 4 little ones jumped up and down with
excitement at seeing me :o)

Here is our 'see ya later' hugs at the Anchorage airport-
not goodbyes - that sounds too final and sad~

I kissed Karley on the cheeks, too :o(

This would make a great postcard~
taken just 1 or 2 miles from Ben and Kimber~

Ben and Kimber are kayaking while Grama and Karley are bonding~

Entering Palmer, AK

STOP and let me tell you~
what the Lord has done for me!

Ben surprised all three women with beautiful flowers~

Smiles are awesome,
especially when it is your 3 wk old daughter!

AND my 3 wk old grandjewel~

Such beauty - God makes beautiful precious jewels~

Grama is kissing Karley~
knowing that soon we will be several thousand
miles apart~

We are sharing special love secrets~

A precious picture
A precious moment~

This is the baptismal gown that Ben wore~
31 years ago.
It is 120 years old and in excellent condition~
Karley will be baptized in it someday.
