On August 12 Cari brought Elaina and Julia here for overnighter with GG.  Saturday (August 13) we went to Carol and Larry's reception (married May 1).  

Liz, Terry and I made the mints for the reception the weekend before.

Received a call from Anthony:  can you keep the girls one more night?  Why? I asked.  Well we are in the hospital waiting...this little man showed up at 8:54pm.  We got to take the girls up to meet their brother on Sunday.

1Thes. 4:13-14 - But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in sleep in Jesus.
