Sing to the Lord a new song!

"Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His Salvation from day to day. Tell of His Glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the people." Psalm 96: 2-3

Aloha, I made it back from Hawaii last Saturday morning. Good to see the family. I missed them very much. Alway good to come back home. God protected me and the family. With it being Memorial Day weekend, we had planned a camping trip that afternoon, so off we went up to Farragut State Park (30 min. away). We met up with Nathan and Michelle in same campground. That night we got together for a cookout. Nathan and Michelle brought me a present to open. Nathan casually says that it is an early Father's Day present since he will be gone for next 3 weeks with military duty. Him and Michelle have a big smile on their face. I open the box and find a coffee mug! Oh, another coffee mug. BUT not just your ordinary coffee mug. Here are the pictures of the mug.












YES! MICHELLE IS PREGNANT!!!!!
We all are so excited. My first Grand child. I am going to be a GRANDPA. Did I tell you that I am excited. Another picture with Nathan and Michelle. Michelle is due in early January. Gee, another January birthday! We are definitely PRAISING the Lord for this wonderful news. A new dimension in the Vetsch Family.


I was with Mary, Laura and Kayla for the whole weekend. Jake and Hannah came up for Saturday night and spent the night. Sarah came up on Sunday and went hiking with us. We had the best time. A good way to kick off the summer season. We just love camping. Met up with good friends Tom and Sue as well. Good weather and good company.

His Grace and Peace to all. Blessings.......

Congratulations to Nathan and Michelle on the coming baby Vetsch, and to you, Doug, on your new Grandpa-to-be status!! Our son, Ben and his wife, Amy, surprised Gary on his birthday last Monday with the "gift" of news of his(our) first grandchild to arrive in Feb. ;P This is fun! All the kids are thrilled at becoming aunts and uncles, as I'm sure all the siblings at your house are, too! We'll keep praying for Hannah and her nursing finals and boards.
His blessings,
the Drechsels
