Uncle Ben's Graduation

In May we had the privileged of celebrating a very special brother and uncle: Ben. Ben is an avid reader, talented musician, intelligent, and purposeful young man. Our Mark loves having Uncle Ben rescue him from a nap or play guitar for him. And Lillia is blessed by all the snuggle time with Uncle Ben. He will be attending Grove City College in the fall--- needless to say, we have already bribed him for visits with food and laundry. Congratulations, Ben!! We look forward to seeing how the Lord uses you in this next phase of your life!


The verse he chose for his graduation cake:
"Look to the nations and watch and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." Habakkuk 1:5

Here's our graduate and his sweet girlfriend, Morgan. Such a cute couple!
Ben with his Mimi and Papa


We all enjoyed the festivities, the cake, and the excuse to be together...
Ben's 3 nephews dressed in matching outfits for the occasion :-) We HAD to capitalize on the opportunity!

Lillia and Gideon are only 2 months apart
notice the hand holding
last picture of our babies together before the Pfeils headed back to Japan--- it's a special treat to have babies so close in age!

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
