A Couple More Birthdays






Ok - so I am very much behind on my blogging. Life has gotten to be crazy busy and not showing any signs of letting up. So today I decided just to make it a priority. The picture to the left is Amelia on her Sweet 16 - amazing how time flies. Her day did not go quite like she would have liked but she seemed pleased in the end. Her birthday was is on Nov. 30th, which this year was the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. Hard to make plans with friends that way. We went to church in the morning came home and had pizza, floats and cake when she also opened gifts. In the evening we were back to church for the annual Praise Banquet - she was able to sit with friends at that point wearing new clothes! The picture below /to the right was taken on Charlyn's 20th birthday! This was the first time for one of our kids to celebrate a birthday away from home. Nicole was able to fly back and visit Charlyn for a week including on her birthday, it sounds like they both had a great time. (Nicole is on her way home now!) In the picture are... L to R: 'The Bentley girls, Jonathan (a friend from Oregon that also lives in VA), Charlyn and Nicole. This was taken after a concert Jonathan was in. Sounds like they had a fun and full day. Maybe she has blogged about it on her blog (link to the left on the main page)

It is so amazing to watch our children grow up into adults. *sigh*
