What a Pleasure

We've been living in a whirlwind of activity since my last post. Several days were spent in preparations. Then, on November 2, Brandon and his girlfriend, Jana, arrived from Berlin. Since then it has been a challenge to keep up with their hectic schedule, attend class and fit in a few hours of study. They leave today for Denver where Brandon will attend a company meeting and Jana will see another part of the US. Although it has been much too short we have enjoyed their visit. What a pleasure it is to spend time with our adult children. Although I sometimes wax nostalgic about the days when Ryan and Brandon were babies, or toddlers, or on rare occasions teenagers, I find my greatest pleasure is spending time with my adult sons. They have grown to be strong, responsible and hard-working men and Mom and Dad couldn't be more proud. I pray that we continue to grow in love and respect for one another. May your family be blessed as ours has been.
