Mother's Day

We had a wonderful day celebrating mother's day with our little family...

"Show your teeth Grace"It worked! :)

It was a beautiful day to be outside...

So thankful that the Lord chose ME to be their mom!

Grace's House

Where's Gracie??

There she is! :o)
A wonderful family from church gave Grace a playhouse that their little girl had outgrown...

Grace thinks it's the best! :)

Yum!

I think Grace likes it when we make brownies...

Cousin Time

On our way back to Minnesota, we stayed one night at my sister's in Iowa. He had a great time seeing Kari, Roby, and the kiddos!

Call Day!

The main purpose of our trip was to be there for Fort Wayne's Call service, where Dave's brother Danny, received his first Call.

Eli all cute...looking over Grandpa Larson's shoulders...
Us! (Minus Grace- She stayed back to play with cousins Patrick and Brennen.)

Danny received his first Call to dual parishes in Sidney and Chappell, Nebraska. They will be living just three hours away from the Larson side of the family...so they are very excited!

So happy...

Talking about how the churches are just an hour away from where Danny, Dave, and Eden grew up...

Us with Megan and Danny...

Their faces say it all... :) Eli and Mama! :)
