A New Chapter...






We Powells are excited about this new chapter in all our lives. Will's sweet grandmother, Laurel, moved in with us on September 9th. We were so afraid she would be sad to leave her lovely home of 40 years in the San Francisco Bay area, but she really seems to love being with us. We certainly love having her! She brings a quiet grace to our home that is wonderful. She has loved Jesus for a very long time, and joy exudes from her. She is a blessing, and so far the transition has been easy for us all. Everything in her new room came from her house, and Will did a great job putting up her many family pictures, each one a fond memory for Grandma. She says she's never seen a more lovely little home (than her new room)!


I think this is a cute picture of Levi and his "G.G." at dinner one night.


Here's Grandma wearing one of her new outfits for church. We had such fun doing a little clothing shopping on Saturday!

Hi Marney; I found your blog on Kristy's. I love this story of "A New Chapter" in your lives. I have to say I am a little jealous just seeing that sweet woman in your home and filling it with so many stories of her life - history and love. Your children get to not only watch you all love and take care of her, but they get to take part in loving her and taking care of her. Isn't that "Pure undefiled Religion"? You are blessed! Enjoy her.
