Happy Leap Day! I just had to post something on this fun day so it would show up as February 29th on the post. So, I decided to do something I have not done in a while…an iPhone photo post. The following pictures are 29 photos from the past couple of months. It was hard to select only 29 favorites from the 2,426 photos I have on my phone. The theme runs strong…family, grandkids, Gran Jan’s JOY!
Our Five Precious GRANDCHILDREN!
Abe loves Pop’s tractor.

I enjoyed the memory of every picture above. I consider myself blessed that I don’t have to wait every four years to celebrate with my family. Sometimes I will just scroll through my phone to look at the pictures, it makes me so happy to do that.
Psalm 90:12
Teach us to number our days
so that we may gain a heart wisdom.
I loved seeing all your pictures, Jan! I keep many on my phone and enjoy scrolling through them too! Love you!
Dear Jan,
Would be such fun to meet you sometime. I had hoped you might make the SSMT celebration in January. It was such a great time meeting so many others Sister’s in the Lord and I especially enjoyed my second short visit with Beth this year.
What a radiant smile you have your joy in serving Jesus so evident. I am of another denomination and have a bro in law who is a minister as well as other family members who are in ministry. I have many minister’s wives as good friends and enjoy their friendships.
Such sweet pix. We are enjoying our first grandchild this year. Our kids had serious health issues so only our youngest son is married presently. I do day care four days a week for this little one who is just turning nine months old. Our DIL is a PT at a local hospitaland is gone long hours. Our youngest son farms and ranches with my hubby. We have lived our whole lives on these harsh unforgiving prairies. Our oldest daughter received her Masters as an older than average student and enjoys a great new job with the ND government.
Loved your blog and hope we can meet this side of paradise sometime!
Hugs and blessings a plenty!
Betty M
