Weekending

We had a whirlwind visit to Worthington this past weekend to join in celebrating my Grandma Alice's 85th birthday.  I love her.  She's been through a lot this past year, and it was nice to have everyone together to celebrate her 85th year!  It was a rough (overwhelming) day for her though, with the abundance of people, noise and pictures.  I pray she will stay strong and keep her spirits high and get her body stronger!  Here are a few of the lovely pictures from the day (thanks Tracie!):
 

Grandma Alice's kids (all 9 were there!)

 Grandma Alice's grandchildren, missing: Mike, Seth, Lance (15 total)

Grandma Alice's great-grandchildren, missing: Jonathan, Eric (16 total)

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture!  It's Grandma Alice and her sister Delores.  The camera caught the perfect expression for Delores!  I love it, though Grandma is looking a little beat by the time this picture was taken.

Grandma and Lou DeGroot (Grandma's sister-in-law, who was married to my Grandma Harm's brother Chris DeGroot).  Lou is currently fighting cancer and in treatment, but it was so nice to see and visit with her.  This picture is so great.  I love that Grandma is smiling and they both look beautiful.

Happy May Day!
