Beauty from Ashes

". . . to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor." Isaiah 61

Birthdays Galore!

Zeke and Elizabeth both celebrate July birthdays -- Elizabeth on the 5th and Zeke on the 14th. For Elizabeth, we had a cake that Abby made (and it was beautiful!) and brought out to TREX. We also celebrated with a cookie cake and presents when we got to Grandma's house in Illinois.

Zeke's Cake (unfortunately we didn't get the camera out during his party, but it was quite fun. We had about 10 young men here, and I think they all were on the trampoline at once!)
