Embrace family time
Our relatives are God’s gifts
Cherish time with them!
his wife, Monika, & son, Sam,
and her parents, Ruthie & Darrell,
and our grand-nephew, Liam
Lake Tahoe fun
A beautiful blue sky day
Comfortable breezes
Ruthie & Kyle celebrated together
“Poppy” will be a big dog before too long!
Visiting Faithy
And her brand new big puppy
Was a real treat
Two legs on the stairs
The other two on the floor
Poppy knows comfort!
Our great-granddaughter
Figured out how to cool off
Showed pup what to do
Our grandson, Jordan, (Daddy of Cosette)
watched while Faith & Cosette cooled their feet…
And then Cosette got totally wet
and had to wear her dad’s t-shirt
Faith had great hors d’oruvres
Then they barbequed chicken
No one went hungry
Faith & Kyle’s home 
we found a bear who had discovered
the garbage bag with BBQed chicken bones
The bear climbed a tree
To get away from people
Too full to climb far!

Celebrating family birthdays
Ruthie & Darrell Payne
When our son’s in-laws
Have time together with us,
Never lost for words!
Celebrate birthdays
Treasure the time together
Thank God for family
Children grow up fast
Get together as often
As possibly can
Store up memories
Write – so you do not forget –
Take lots of pictures!
They came from southern California –
They came from Pennsylvania –
They came from Sacramento –
We came from Montana –
There were 16 of us for dinner!
When it’s shared family time,
the more the merrier.
Thank God for gracious family
who share their homes,
their beds, their food, their car…
… and best of all, their love.
Next time we’re together,
it wouldn’t surprise me at all
if Liam is taller than Sam.
Like this sugar pine tree,
kids grow taller these days…
Must be all that family love!
I pray you have a loving family, too…
And you have many opportunities
To share family time together.
Cheers!
Have a great rest of your week.
I’ll see you tomorrow (God willing).
Love,
JanBeek
