We made a quick trip to Topeka today. Jack had to teach Sunday School and I was teaching the children's class, so we went to early service and left as soon as our classes were done. We were the last ones to arrive at my parents. My brother, Bob, and his wife were visiting from Oklahoma City, Marlene, Dave, Grandma Corinne, D.J. and the kids, Scott and Kelley, Christopher, his girlfriend Alyssa, along with my folks. We gathered to celebrate Annie's 16th birthday! Yes, her birthday is tomorrow but we all understand the need to cherish these gatherings, even if they're short. We ate lunch, took some family pictures, ate cake and then had time for a short visit before Kelley, Christopher and Alyssa had to leave. Not soon after Bob and Shelia headed home as well. We didn't even have time to stick around for a game of cards. It's the fact that everyone was able to come together... I am so grateful to each of them!
Here are a few pictures:

She is adorable!
Mom, thanks for suggesting Annie bring her camera!
