Sunday, June 19 was Father's Day. So after church we celebrated Scott's day and my birthday, since my birthday is on the twentieth. Monday was the beginning of the Teen Convention. Wow! That was exciting! Days began at 5:30 a.m. and finished around 10:00 p.m. Wednesday was our other son-in-law Martin's birthday. We gave him his gift and had his birthday cake the following Sunday!
Finally, on Wednesday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. Leonard arrived at the Longview airport. What a blessing! We got to give him a hug take pictures and make it in time for rehearsal for the Teen Convention service that night. My whole family was there. Hallelujah!
Thursday morning was the closing day for the convention. The young people were such a blessing but we were exhausted!! (physically and emotionally) I was looking forward to some time off - then Scott called and told me that his van broke down, so I had to pick him up from work at 6:00 p.m. I got to be his ride for the next two days!!!
Alyssa got her quality time when I took her to the orthodontist on Friday morning and then we spent some time shopping at Hobby Lobby and Mardell's. Friday afternoon was spent getting ready for Kate's first birthday party. Victoria invited a few close friends and we enjoyed watching Kate eat her birthday cupcake!
On Sunday we hosted a family dinner for the Costas and his Dad, Leonard, Sr. Martin got his birthday song and cake and we had a great time! Alyssa came down with a virus and is still recuperating.
Just when you're a little down or lonely God pours out his blessing of family togetherness! I think I need a nap now!
