And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Windermere 08~Wonderful!

Labor Day weekend NEVER long enough! We had a great time this year! This is my Mom's side by the way. It was great to see all my cousins and Aunts and Uncles. I truly have an awesome family and I love being with them! We always have a great time together. There were a couple of new family members with us this year. My cousin Katie was married in Feb. and her new husband Ryan joined us. He is a great guy! Then, my cousin Evan (Katie's brother)was married a couple of years ago, and his wife Romalyn finally got to be with us this year. To make a very long story short...here goes...She is Filipino, and was working in Hong Kong and she was trying to get her visa for over a year (I think like 17 months). God worked everything out and she got to be with us this year, but most importantly she will get to be with Evan for the first time of their married life. He comes home from Iraq in a few weeks and they will get to "be married" for the first time since they have been married. I know it's a long story, but man is God good! Romalyn is so talkative and outgoing. What a doll! And of course, my niece Bethany was with us this year. That 8 month old cutie!! My cousin Matthew and his wife Carrie had a new baby girl name Mattilynn. She is 5 weeks old. Such a pretty baby.

The food..Oh my gracious! We have got some great, super, wonderful cooks in my family. I think everyone there gained 5 pounds. Yikes!

God continues to be so faithful and good to the Bearce family! It is because of Him that we have a great time and love each other so much.

Here's pics of the weekend

Looks like you all had a really great time. I wrote in my blog that I hope you guys get to relax for us. We spent all Labor Day weekend working really hard. I hope you guys had a super time. What a cute bunch of little ones.

You and your family are so lucky to have a reunion every year and see each other to catch up. Judging from the pics, the family is large, but it looks like you had a great time.
