Days gone by

It is amazing to look at these old pictures and think of life then and life now. This first picture is a Thanksgiving celebration in Quincy , IL in 1994. Ann, Janna, Cecil and me are all celebrating our November birthdays. John and Pam are celebrating their wedding anniversary.
This next picture is a day in our home-education past. This was taken in our house in Atlas, IL. Jacob is holding the flag. Brittney and Ethan are under the flag and Janna is looking on. I believe this was 1994 and Morgan would have been a baby. I really enjoyed those years of little ones. Days at the park . Reading book after book. Teaching them all to read. Watching them grow into the wonderful people they are now.

This last picture was taken somewhere in Birchtree, MO, home town of Pat's grandmother. It was 1995 and we were visiting Birchtree for a memorial service for Pat's brother Jim. I love Ethan's "googely", what he called making a face, in this picture. Hard to believe that we were just about a month away from learning that Morgan had cancer and all the change that brought to our lives. God is good.
