Third Time is a Charm

Our third stop this summer was Windsor, Colorado.  Our youngest grandchild was confirmed on June 12th.  That was the third confirmation in the last 6 weeks.  That also marked the end of the big events we needed to be at this summer.

Well, we got out of the "Arizona winter" weather as we left Wisconsin.  But neither of us expected it to be hot (99 degrees) for the Sunday Ella was confirmed.  What happened to spring???  That must have happened on the day we traveled across the Mississippi River and through Iowa. 😂

Roy and Char Beyer, Ella's other grandparents traveled to Colorado as well, which was great since we got to spend extra time with them.

Below is a picture of Ella and Abbie with Pastor Halldorson at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Greeley, Colorado.  

Officially now all of our children and grandchildren are confirmed.  No more grandchildren in grade school.  Where did the time go??!  

Ella and her family:  Nate, Bret, Ella, Kim, Tatum and Jonah (brother-in-law)

After church, Bret and Kim had an open house.  True to Lutheran tradition, there was more than enough food!  Besides Mexican food, there was an abundance of other salads and side dishes, plus cake pops, rice Krispie bars and cake. No one went away hungry.

There is always a lot of kidding around and laughter when our family gets together.  You can tell there was some sort of joke or snarky remark by the looks on Lisa and Bret's faces!  We sure are thankful for the Lord blessing us with family and friends.  🙏💖💕
