"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

mom's birthday!

Well, this post is a few days late--oops!  (sorry, mom!)  Last week, on June 21, my beautiful and very youthful looking mom turned 50!  Hard to believe, I know!  Jill and I planned a day for our family, with a picnic at the State Park, then to dad and mom's to swim, then to Aaron and Jill's house for supper and to hang out.  It was such a fun day!

Here is the birthday girl, holding a very relaxed looking Halle :)

Jill and Kaine had fun swinging together

Dad and Kaine spot an airplane!

A great picture of Jill and Halle!

Mom, Kaine gives you a thumbs up:)
We had a great day, Mom.  Thanks for everything you do for us--you are amazing!  We love you so much!  Happy birthday!
