Dinner Joys

Just to let you all know: I got to hold one of my three precious godchildren tonight. Maria Johanna (named for the myrrh-bearing women) Braun. We also had the added treat of eating dinner with Dr. Maxwell, Ed and Karon Wolfe (and Ed had some amazingly beautiful hand-crafted wooden pens to show off), Pastor Allen Braun and Laura and the rest of the Braun brood: Clarissa, Katherine, Samuel and Christina. Oh, and my own lovely wife, and David and Bekah. I am not sure Applebee's was ready for this, but they got it anyway. Thirteen of us arrived for dinner and an evening of catch up. Joys abounding!
