In 1927, kind of an eventful week with all of the Lindbergh stuff going on and Mary's labor began! I also thought it was neat that apparently people in Roanoke went outside and looked to the sky to try and see Lindbergh. In 2011, an eventful week here too. Beth had surgery on her hand. Caleb has possibly broken his ankle and we are having the church over to our house tonight.
