Dinner with Daddy

Hmm, lunch actually, but "dinner with Daddy" sounds better than "lunch with Daddy." In my humble opinion anyway;) We were headed off to get the pattern and the fabric for the little boys vests, so we stopped and met some of Daddy's colleagues from work, enjoyed a splendid lunch at the "Cafe Pig", and of course anytime we get to spend with Daddy is a wonderful treat! And yes, LOL that it the name of it. Cafe Pig. Just like that:) Madi had a hilarious laughing fit, and kept saying it over and over again, so of course we had to take a picture in front of the sign for the blog. Hope y'all enjoy them.

Grace and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ.

~Rachel

What a blessing to have been raised by my God fearing and honoring, wonderful parents, and to have such precious encouraging brothers and sisters to walk alongside. Praise the Lord for his Awesome saving grace!!! Amen!
