Psalm 68:6a

I have heard many who are single cling to this verse as their promise of a future marriage and family.  Tonight as I reflect on the weekend...I realized that God sets everyone in a family.  We all start out solitary.  When we marry - we are no longer alone...and then He blesses with family, the heritage He gives.

This weekend, I was blessed to continue enjoying the family God has placed me in.  Chris and Kerri came to spend the night, bringing Kandace for us to love and enjoy.  She is now 18 months old, and talks a mile a minute.  There's only one tiny problem...no one knows what she is saying.  Oh, once in awhile, she speaks English.  She gets silly and giggles and does this fake laugh - and of course it all makes us laugh.

Here are some highlights...







Loving some green beans...













She's tickled...












This is what fighting sleep looks like...poor baby














Bath Time!















Backpack on...ready to go!






Then we went to Cary and Sara's so big brother could check out little brother's new place...






Landing on bottom at the slide's bottom!













Wagon ride...















Up and down, up and down, up and down...the stairs










And, Jackson chillin' with Dad in the fold-out chairs and ice tea...




I did cook this weekend...pecan crusted chicken...mashed potatoes,  slaw, and my new favorite
sour cream cornbread, from Tricia Yearwood's new cookbook...

Well, it's way past my bedtime...and this post must end.  Thank you, Lord, for the family placement. 
Love, laughter, food, hugs and kisses = family.

Blessings!

Kerri said everything was delicious, but the cornbread was to die for. You must share the recipe:) Looking forward to this weekend. Feel like we haven't gotten to really talk in ages.

Love You,
Beth
