Week 36

14 April

Here are Marc’s four boys (Gabriel, Elijah, Benjamin, and David John). These are four of our seven grandsons. What joy grandchildren bring!

15 April

The twins Elijah and Gabe are full of giggles—one of their well-behaved moments.

16 April

Here I am holding baby Benjamin—he seems to like this position.

17 April

It seems that there is always laundry to do, especially after a trip.

18 April

While I was gone, my brother-in-law Chuck passed away on April 13. Here are the five sisters gathered at the viewing—LaRae, Lynette, Shirley, Jeanine, and Junola.

19 April

Here are the beautiful flowers at Chuck’s graveside—death is, after all, a part of life, although that doesn’t necessarily make it easier in the moment.

20 April

While Jeanine and Stan were in town, we gathered for a quarterly dinner at Rib City Grill. As it turned out, it was also our 37th wedding anniversary.
