Our first month of our fourth year has come to an end. We had celebrations of all stages of life from a 3 year old’s birthday party, a wedding shower, baby shower, high school graduation party, college graduation party, and a wedding. We enjoyed meeting new families as they came to schedule future events. We especially enjoyed watching the great great grandchildren of my grandmother and her best friend run and play together on Mother’s Day. We also discovered 5 eggs hiding out in the back room of the pavilion. We are excited to continue making memories throughout the summer.

We pray that every marriage is surrounded with abundant blessings, every new baby celebrated with a shower grows to feel the same love their parents felt while here, and all that celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and reunions will continue to have a blessed year.
