"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

THEY ARE SOOOOOO ADORABLE!!!!

THANKS for this way of sharing your lives with us!

Ellie is SOOOO grown up! When I saw those TINY BABY pictures of her and remembered having her over on Sundays for dinners and holding her and loving her, it made me sadder than sad to think about missing all these growing up years.

You are helping me bear it by these blogs!

THANKS,
Grandma Paula
