It's All Good {Blessings}

We are so happy that Nana and Grandpa are here!
This isn't exactly a relaxing vacation for them...
they are working overtime to bless us
 and we are so grateful!  Thank you Grandpa & Nana!
 
This is a volunteer watermelon from our garden.  The things that have
done best have been our volunteers...cantaloupe and watermelons!
 
Camie was so proud to help Dad pick
 this huge watermelon.
 
We lost many plants this summer in the drought.
 It blessed me greatly to replace a few of them with some beautiful fall color.
 
Grandpa and Becker worked outside for the last two days fixing things.
 Becker loves working with Grandpa! 
When not working, they have been having fun on Nana's new 4-wheeler.
 Yes, I said Nana's!  Grandpa bought her one for her birthday. 
She is such a good sport!
 
All the bikes got repaired and the kids are so happy!
 
And our wagon got fixed too!  Now the kids giving it a workout by
riding it  down the hill towards the pond and giving each other rides. 
They are having so much fun!
 
Camie loves to sit and read to Nana.
Nana has blessed us with all her help with the younger crew. 
She also has been a huge help around the house!
 
With praise to God, Dee has found another wonderful
 violin teacher  to replace her beloved Miss Sarah. 
What a blessing that God sent Mrs. Sievers
to encourage and instruct Dee on her violin journey.
Dee will be celebrating her 17th birthday in less than a week...
lots to be happy about!
  
David and Mark have been in our neck of the works while waiting for
the next phase of harvest to begin.  It has been fun to see them again.
Congrats to Mark on his newly acquired driver's license!
Not sure how Lil convinced them to come make apple pie with her
but she did and they all seemed to enjoy their time together.
 
Nana and Grandpa supplied the apples for the pie from their tree in CA.
  
The pie was delicious! 

Yes, it's all good!
