After having 4 girls to start our family - we sure love our little girlies! Rose is about 7 months older than Bernadette... now it seems like a lot, but soon it will be that they are going to grow up together as the same age. This was true of Nancy and Shannon growing up. Shannon was exactly 6 months older, but after the first year they grew up together both in the same grade, and sharing a lot on the farm, as their 2 dads farmed together. That is about as close as 2 cousins can get! Rose will grow up as a farmgirl, and Bernadette in the City, but Nancy loves to share in the farmlife so much that I am sure she will be down here often to share in the fun on the farm. I am sure that although she is a Citygirl - she will probably be in 4H too! Catholic School and 4H was very instrumental in my kids, and how they have handled life as it came at them. It will be equally true for our grandkids. Ruth's kids are growing up just 3 miles away from us - they go to the same Catholic School that their mom and grandpa went to, and are in the same 4H club! Nancy will find something in Plymouth that will be equally great for Augustine and Bernadette, she is determined to find those important things for her kids too! Her little family is back together with dad tonight - he returned from California this evening as they all gathered in their home - together in LIFE and LOVE! Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
Grandpa with the two girls and Paper Little Sister Hallel looking over his shoulder. She mentioned in a letter recently how much she loved meeting these two little girls for the first time in KC just the day after Thanksgiving!
