More of Mom's 75th with family

                                          Praise the Lord for 75 years of life given to Mom!
                                                           We thank the Lord for her!
                                                   
                                                           4 generations - what a blessing!

Mom and her 5 ladies

                Mom broke tradition and gave presents herself to a number of kids and GKids
                      including this beautiful dolls dress for Bethany (matches Joanna's)

We ended the lovely day with a beautiful Strings Chamber Concert in which Maria, Andrew and Bethany performed! 

Wow!

Kittens

While we were celebrating Oma's birthday in Brampton, our cat Taffy was busy having kittens. :)  She is such a good mother!  We all find it so amazing how animals have this incredible God-given instinct to know exactly how to care for their little ones.

The 1st two are when they are a day old, the 2nd two at 2 days old.
