The Blessing of Family!

Monday was all about driving across Wisconsin and into Minnesota. We are very excited to visit Gary's brother Steve in St, Paul. Steve has a wonderful wife Mary, and three beautiful children - Patrick, Ashlee and Christian. They have lived here for many years and this is our first visit.

Traveling into St. Paul we were struck by what a beautiful area they live in. Surrounded by fertile farm land and fields of corn. We pulled off at a farm fruit stand and bot a dozen ears of corn so we could enjoy corn on the cob together.

As we drove up to their home about 6 pm we saw a wonderful welcome written in chalk on the driveway. They all came out to greet us and it was so fun to see how much their children has grown. This was the first time we have met little Chrstian and he is adorable.

Their home is so beautiful, warm and inviting. Mary had graciously prepared a wonderful dinner for us and we were so blessed to sit at their family table after such a long time on the road.

Our bbow fit neatly on the edge of their driveway and we were all set up in no time and looking forward to spending the next two days together.
