We've been having a family reunion over the past weekend, and it has been awesome!  I'm quite exhausted, but hey... it's worth it having your family around.  Thank you, my dear cousin Carolyn, for the fun and laughter you brought to us.  Thank you, my dear cousin Craig, for messing up my hair... (yeah right!!!)  Thank you, my dear cousin Katelyn, for picking me up, then dropping me.  (I'm still impressed she can pick me up when she's 3 years younger than me...)  And as for the rest of all you family... thanks for an amazing weekend.  With as much food as we ate all weekend, it's amazing I haven't busted.  My cousin Charley put it this way:  "I'm full till Wednesday."

It is now September, and I was just noticing how nice it is outside.  I don't know about the weather where you are, but it's been sooo lovely here.  Not too hot, not too cold.  Just right.

Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.  --Psalm 48:10
