Okay, here they are, sitting in front of the couch from left to right, my sister-in-law Jenny (Jenny is married to my brother Timothy, they are the proud parents of my youngest nephew, Ryan Justus, who is pictured below sleeping on my chest) my niece Leah, my nephew Kenny, my brother John and my niece Deja.
Seated on the couch from left to right, my niece Grace, my uncle Chip, my mom, Linda, holding my niece Lana on her lap, Grammy Manthey, my dad Philip. And seated on the arm of the couch, my sister Lydia holding Trent, and my sister Joanna right behind her.
Standing behind the couch from left to right, my sister Anna, my sister Ruth, my amazing wife Michelle, me, my brother Timothy, my brother-in-law Ken II, my sister Rebekah (Ken’s wife) holding Samuel, my brother Aaron and my brother-in-law Matt (Lydia’s husband).

“The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.”
Ps.126:3.
And as for you, dear Nathanael - “The father of the righteous
shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall
have joy of him. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and
she that bare thee shall rejoice.” Prov.23:24&25
Dear mother,
Thank YOU for who you are, for all you’ve done for your family.
I am blessed to be able to call you mom.
“Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
‘Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.’
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.”
(Proverbs 31:28-31 NIV)
