Missouri

My mom and niece Miranda recently flew in for a visit. This was the first time for them to meet Silas. The last time I saw my mom, Macy was 4 months. So it was good to see her again.





She flew out a week later. As they were standing at baggage claim in St. Louis my mom got a phone call saying my grandpa Ray passed away. He was 100 years old! Would have been 101 on December 31. Grandpa Ray and his siblings grew up on a farm and pretty muched lived off the land. I credit this to his very long life. So, unexpectedly, Silas and I got a flight on Monday and flew to Missouri for my grandpa's funeral.

At the funeral with my sister, Christy and 2 brothers, Chad and Greg. I'm the baby. :)

Silas also got to meet his Papa B. (my dad)



Some pics I took while in Missouri...





My parents have 4 pear trees in their yard. Yummy!



My dad is a big time hunter. He has even trapped and caught an alpaca! Here are some photos of the inside of my parent's house.






I was able to go back to my home church on Sunday. It was good to see some familiar faces and see how the Lord has worked in that church. The town of Fulton is in desperate need of the Gospel.


One of my bestest buds in the world, Kate.

My two football playing nephews, Clayton and Colton.
