Comfort and Joy

I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will
give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:13

such fun pics. I am WAY impressed with how Austin is writing! I mean, really, surely you're working with him a bunch! I think I've messed Kate up b/c I always write things in bubble letters for her to color in. Now I think she tries to do bubble letters when she's trying to write!
