Spring on the way!

We get eggs each week from Grandma D's daughter, Laurie. We visited her chicken farm in Alsea today. Just so happens a few chicks hatched while we were there. How exciting!


This is Matthew holding a baby chick born within the hour. Mama was ruffled but let us hold them.


This little chicky was pecking it's way out. Here are Noah and Matthew hearing the pecking. The eggs are labeled with a marker for tracking.

Visiting Doris

Today we went to Alsea to wish one of Michael's patients a happy 80th birthday. She is not just "anyone", but rather we call her Grandma D. D is for Doris. She has brought Michael cookies every week for over 3 years. Doris has a joy in the LORD that will bring you to tears. She is always oozing with joy, no matter how much she hurts (her heart is weak) or what life brings ( last year her little house burned down, nothing made it).

This is Grandma D with the blanket we gave her for her birthday. Bless you today!
