Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

Spring family fun March and April 2026

Happy spring and Resurrection Day, everyone! I’ll post a couple of months’ worth of photos because I’m so behind.

We got to see Isaac and Meagan on Spring Break. It was fun to see parts of Louisville we hadn’t before!



This is NuLu, where they had their first date over two years ago.

Still happily married!



This store’s name was just too perfect.

We girls had a tea party hosted by Meagan at their apartment. We watched Pride and Prejudice and drank out of Meagan’s great aunt’s tea set. 🥰 We’re all a little girly, so it was perfect!!

BEST daughter-in-law in existence! We’re all crazy about her.


So fun! They have a lovely apartment at Southern Seminary’s married housing. I believe Isaac starts seminary classes in the fall. Meagan graduates next month!


Meanwhile, at the mini golf range . . . the boys had a very different version of fun.


A true niece of my heart.❤️ Her auntie was one of my very best friends, born 10 hours after me at the same hospital in Colombia! Heather is with the Lord now, and I was deeply honored and blessed to be at Bella’s bridal shower. I’m so proud of and grateful for this EXCEPTIONAL young woman, my friend!

Being with her family is like coming home. I can’t wait until we can all be with Heather, worshipping and walking together in the presence of our Savior.

So proud of my baby brother, too! I tracked him down one day when running an errand in the town next to us, where he works.

Goofy kids stuffing the plastic eggs with candy. David filled two with dog food, and someone filled one with scrambled eggs. I still don’t know who that was. Yuck!


My little niece with Marcie’s former pet, Milo the bunny. He was too much for us, but my sister loves him and cares for him now! Marcie still gets snuggles. 🥰 


Marcie is taller than Grandma!!

Marcie and Grandma 13 years ago!


My brother demonstrating that Seth has grown, too! He can just barely rest his chin on Seth’s head. 


The size difference 12 years ago!

You may wonder where Gavin is in all this. He’s working/training quite a bit at JAARS in N.C. this spring, and in a couple of weeks he heads to Moody Aviation Spokane to do consultation flights with their students. We are praising God for how well the time apart has gone, and for all Gavin gets to do still in missions aviation training, mentoring, and recruitment. God is good, all the time. Blessings on you all!

With gratitude,
Carrie
