New Updates From the Farm

 Woo hoo!!! Three new babies in the Swihart family as of today. In the last nine weeks we have received these little answers to prayer: one grand child and two great-grands! I had to search to find a picture that would illustrate these three, since they have not been together, yet.

The black-haired baby is the one we are waiting for at this moment. This is just a guess, but I am SURE he/she will have a head of black hair like her/his momma and daddy did. The other two babies, Sophie (Derrick and Carrie), and Lydia (Jena and EJ) have light brown hair. Thus, the pic.

And if that is not enough to celebrate,  our grand daughter #2 will be married to a wonderful young man in a couple of weeks. Their wedding will be in the grove of trees that Dan planted when they first moved to the farm. Lovely!!!!!

Oh, how I would love to hold these moments and make them slow down a little. But, that is why God gave us the gift of memory isn’t it?

I am a mother of three, grandma (Oma) of eleven, and wife of a wise and energetic husband. We are retired (me from teaching, Judd from counseling) and are enjoying a time of reflection, a time of volunteering and serving, and a time of stretching to meet the new challenges of ordering our days that we may present to Him hearts of wisdom.
