Happy 28th Birthday Gretchen

Happy 28th Birthday to Gretchen Kimberly who was born at 4:11 pm weighing in at 8 lbs 9 1/2 ounces and 20.5 inches long on November 26, 1979 in Palmer, Alaska. Call or e-mail her and wish her a Happy Birthday. Gretchen is a blessing to us sent from God above!!

We had a batter-fried halibut dinner for her after church and then some family came over for ice-cream cake and visiting.

The first picture is of Gretchen and Phil on Baby Dedication Day at church. Finn was looking mighty cute up on the platform with his parents. I believe he was the cutest baby up there.

Thanksgiving 2007

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me bless His holy name.
Bless the Lord O my soul and forget not all his benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Psalms 103:1-3

Thanksgiving was full of wonderful food, family, (including three new babies!) and coversation.
Thanks to Ramona and Gary who hosted this large gathering and always do. We sure did enjoy ourselves. I want to give a "shout out" to Rosalee who was the photographer for the time we were there using my camera. She did a great job. Also a "Happy Birthday" to Kale who turned 8 years old on Thanksgiving Day. Now they have another brother Aiden who was born at 9 lbs 9 oz and is beautiful who completes their family.
