Our afternoon in Mattawan

Clare, Phil, and I went to Mattawan on Friday afternoon. We were blessed to see many of my dear friends, and I was so excited for Clare to meet all of them. The first picture is with "My Three Dads." I was on a team with Dave, Smiddy, and Dean while teaching in Mattawan, and they took care of me as though I was their own daughter. They enjoyed meeting their "granddaughter." All of the girls with our little girl. These are some of my former students. It was great to see all of them: Sara, Kaisa, Laura, Rachel, Hannah, and Liz. :) Dean with Clare. His peaceful spirit helped Clare fall right asleep.
Smiddy with Clare...practicing to be a new grandpa in February.
Hannah (the person who correctly guessed Clare's name while I was still pregnant) with our Little Pumpkin. :)

Oh yes, it was about this time when I felt that I may start twitching because I was smiling so much. :) I absolutely loved holding Pumpkin Girl, Clare!!Thank you so much for sharing her (I feel so honored being referenced to on your blog, however strange that may be . . .)!

Hes Ms. Durham, or should I say Mrs. Hillary! I can't believe you had a baby! I am so happy for you! I wish I could have been there with everybody when you were visiting.
