It's a Birthday Week!!!

Today is our Granddaughter's birthday! It was 15 years ago that we welcomed Abigail Lea into our arms and hearts! She is a wonderful blessing to us and we thank the Lord for her beautiful spirit and loving heart. She brings us so much joy, laughter, and happiness! Her life is a testimony to the Lord in everything she does. Happy Birthday Sweet Abby Lea! You are loved very much!

Actually, this whole week is a celebration of birthdays in our family! On Monday, July 6th, we celebrated our son, Eric's, 36th birthday! It is a very special blessing to have a son, especially if you are a Dairy Farmer, as my husband is. We had a lovely daughter and our family was complete when the Lord gave us a son! Now he farms alongside his Dad. The farm runs smoothly because of their teamwork and love for God's creations.

But that's not all!!! Just one year ago on Saturday, the Lord blessed Eric and his wife Rachel, with a beautiful son!! Wheaton Randall Bleich entered this world on July 11, 2008 and he has brought a smile to our lives ever since!! He is a bundle of energy and joy that we totally enjoy! Every day is a new adventure to Wheaton and we are privilaged to share in his findings.

So we are celebrating the joys of family and the miracles of birth. We are so blessed to have two wonderful, adult, "children" and their spouses, and 6 fantastic grands to complete our earthly family. Because the only things that we can take to Heaven with us, are the souls of those we love, we pray faithfully for our family and trust that we will all be together for eternity
