In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken .... Isaiah 10:27
3 siblings (and their families) all together for the first time in over 20 years.




2 first cousins, only 4 months apart in age, meet for the first time.
1 mother and a son from Seattle stand in a Canola field on the Canadian prairie for the first time.


4 cousins quite possibly having too much fun in a pool.
1 little boy falling in love.

3 little boys trying to look cool.
1 Super Aunt sewing sock animals with her niece Aili. (My kids are soaking up the attention from their new Auntie!)
Our daily thunder storm.
2 cousins, who share two different shades of the same Burlando features, having some good messy fun.
7 cousins, 1 sister, 2 brothers, 2 sister in laws united as family.

Restored
Redeemed
Reunited
Regenerated
....Rejoicing.

The enemy pressed the yoke on our necks as he led us with cords of falsehood and ties of bitterness.

God now leads us "with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them"(Hosea 11:4).
