Sunday, August 19, 2012

This morning was Ethan's Baptism. Three pews were filled with Orrells and Hellers. Pastor Mark had a good sermon on Baptism. Everyone seemed to enjoy the service. Afterward, we went to Rick's for Ethan's First Birthday Party. The house was overflowing with family and friends. Pastor Mark came and we all had a good time. We were fortunate that the rain held off. It was cooler today than it has been all summer so it made it nice to sit out on the deck.

Ethan got a lot of lovely gifts - clothes, books, and toys. I gave him a Children;s Bible and a couple DVD of the Vege Tales and Blues Clues.

News from the Vorlon Wife.

Hi Karol, I'm so glad the day was so perfect for Ethan's 1st birthday party. My cousin and her husband had the Benjamin reunion (my mother's side of the family) at their home on Saturday and the weather was perfect here also. They live about 70 miles north of us. My brother and his wife drove from Joliet,IL to attend too. I really love getting together with my cousins and their families. And, a highlight for us is that we still have our mother's younger sister who is 94 years old. She is still doing very well and we were thankful that her daughter brought her from the Grand Rapids, MI area. And, to top off our day, your mother-in-law, Phylis lives fairly close to the area we were in, so, we took a chance on stopping by to visit with her in her lovely new home. We so enjoyed the chance to talk with her and she took us on a tour of her home. We're just so happy that she is pleased with her new home and surroundings. She has a gorgous yard, but, some critter is eating her flowers. And, of course, this doesn't make her happy. She loves her flowers. Anyway, it was so great to see her and her new home.

And, I just have to mention how very beautiful your pink glad is. What a gorgeous color. Wouldn't it be great if Ned's suggestion of trying cat food for Danny would work. It's certainly worth a try. Wishing you a good day today and hoping that tomorrow will be even better. Love, Ruth
