Happy Mother's Day!

We've been in Kansas City, watching our new little granddaughter during her first week of life. At the ripe old age of ten days, the new little family went on their first road trip.

Jordan was the maid of honor at a wedding in St. Louis. Since she was spending her first Mother's Day at the wedding and with her mother, we headed to the Oklahoma panhandle to spend the day with our Mothers. It meant a 13-hour round-trip drive to make the trip to Beaver and back, where both of our Mothers live. Both of Denisa's sisters came as well, so we took a picture of Mother and her three daughters after church on Sunday. She's wearing a corsage, like she has every Mother's Day since her first baby was born.

We also spent Saturday together, shopping and eating out. We were joined by our niece Shaila and her son Phoenix. Denisa loves spending time with these little people. She had to take a picture of her ride for the day--her niece's red porsche. She even got to drive it on the way home. It's almost as sweet a ride as our motor home.

Meanwhile, Mark was hanging out with his Mother and brothers. None of them wanted to take this picture, but Denisa insisted.

On Sunday evening, the ranch was blessed with a nice rain shower. We can see for miles from here, and the big sky was certainly interesting that night.

The little white cross on the fence made a dramatic picture.

As the sun set over the ranch, we are glad we made the trip. We are blessed to get to enjoy the weekend with our Mothers, who are 88- and 90-years-old. It's even better to get to honor our Mothers with siblings that feel the same way.
