Happy Birthday Christie!

I love you!

Mum

People who know me know I have a nephew serving his country

in the United States Navy. I am so proud of him, especially knowing

it hasn't been an easy time for him lately. He doesn't have the freedom to

choose things for himself like the rest of us do. It's quite a sacrifice and

I'm thankful for who he is and what he has done with his life so far.

I also wanted to mention that Ben arrived in Afghanistan.

His mother has been very careful about giving out

too much information on line so this will sound a bit vague out

of respect for her--and Ben.

I am praying Ben stays safe in the combat situation he currently

finds himself in. I am also praying that Nathan knows how

deep and wide the love of his family is for him. Both of these

young men are the best of what we have to offer and I pray

they know how much they are respected and valued.

Just a quick note to wish Beth a very happy birthday!
Love from all of us in CT!

Happy Birthday Beth!

My, what big balloons you have!

Here's hoping it's a great day!

Love, Kathy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT BETH!

We hope you have a fantastic day filled with love and laughter.

Love,
Christie & Casey

The Logan Fix

Grammie Beth asked to have these photos put on the Nuts Blog. Logan is such a little mimic--look at him with his feet up, just like his Papa. And showing a little love to his friend Lola.

Grafted

When grafting, the gardener takes a small piece of one tree, and places it with in the bark of another. The combination creates something new and wonderful. Trees that are grafted often are both beautiful and bountiful.

The Southworth Family Tree is one of those trees. We are blessed with the beauty and bounty that comes from love.

If you ever wonder about that, just look at Grammie Chelle as she gazes down on little Jacob shortly after he was born.

Welcome our our family, Jacob Ryan Grace.

May you find your life filled with the wonder and beauty of this family's love and support.
