Worth the Wait
Have you ever counted the days and just prayed that nothing would interfere with your carefully laid plans? Our family hadn't all been together for over two years, thankfully in October we gathered at the Halversen's home in Northern Kentucky. Two important events in our lives brought us together. Ethan, Jennifer and Gary's youngest son was baptized. Thus far we have not missed one of our grand children's baptisms, a record we plan to keep intact. Lia, Kelly and Tyler's oldest daughter, had her seventh birthday that weekend. Serious excitement. A few of the clan encountered some germs, they shared, passed it on and yet we managed to have a wonderful time together. Fall in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati was picturesque and the weather was delightful. Thanks to the Halversens for their hospitality - can't wait until December in Wisconsin!!

Apparently we were early......

Dinner after the baptism
The men and some of the girls ate an amazing amount of ribs - Tanner not surprisingly ate the MOST!!
Ethan and Jaxon were so entertaining, their small plates turned into flying saucers and their napkins were masks....they told tall tales - great fun to witness.
Decorating individual cakes for the birthdays - Ethan just turned eight the end of September

Jennifer took those of us who had never been to Cincinnati on a tour.
Are they adorable or what?
Enjoyed the ride - it was a gorgeous day.
