October 2016

In October

I celebrated my 62nd birthday but somehow must have deleted all the pictures.  We had a nice family meal.  The weather was warm enough to eat outside.  When we went to Virginia, Jaclyn cooked chicken and dumplings for me.  This is the meal that I always asked my mom to cook for my birthday, and Jaclyn's is just as good.  I felt very loved.  

On the 19th, we celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary. No pictures for that, either.  We went camping and were blessed with great weather and a very quiet campground.  


Catherine celebrated her 2 month birthday.  It is amazing to see how much she grew and changed in a month. Those signs are the same size. The meaning of Catherine's name is "pure strength" and she has certainly demonstrated that in an amazing way.  Our family is thankful for the many, many people who have prayed for her and shown their love and concern.  Catherine is very blessed.


Jonas found some left behind potatoes in the potato bed and was happy to harvest them.  


Abram walked barefoot in the grass.


Hannah planned a family Halloween party.  Even most of the grown-ups wore costumes.

Hannah and Michael used their costumes to make an announcement to the family.  Baby Worley is due in April.


Even Catherine wore her costume.  She was the cutest Batgirl in the NICU.
