Spring break at our house

So Sue took Paula, Stephen, and Kevin to Iowa to visit with Dan and Lori, which went really well.  Then they drove south to visit with Sey and Ana as well as Taylor and Libby, which went really well.  Along the way they stopped and saw the Parthenon in Nashville, went on the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, and ate barbecue in Kansas City.  What a great trip!  I'm looking forward to having them back home so the house isn't so quiet...

Jacob, Megan, Jojo, and I have had a busy but quiet week with lots of work, homework, walking, and sleeping going on.  Sounds boring but that's our day-to-day life. Oh, well...

Happy Easter!

We hope you have a wonderful celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ today! 

Sue is enjoying being with Dan and Lori in Iowa while me and the older kids are getting with my brother and his family.  Fun stuff! 

Busy time at our house

Man, keeping up with everybody's activities is challenging this time of year.  Paula in soccer, Megan in school and working, Jacob in school and working 2 jobs, Stephen and Kevin in school, youth, karate, and all the other things they do, and Sue and I pursuing our careers keeps up hopping.  It's a lot of fun, but very tiring. 

The kids are excited about the upcoming spring break trip, but I will be working so can't go.  Pray for everyone's safety as we hurtle through the excitement of life! 

Happy birthday, Sue!

She's another year older and wiser and more beautiful than ever!  Due to our family schedule we'll be celebrating all week but that's OK.  Love you, baby!

Tough time at our church

The youth pastor at our church is leaving to start a church, and this is causing some turbulence in our family at home as well as at church.  Please pray as we all ride the waves his leaving is generating and ask the Lord to guide everyone to just what He wants us doing. 

Happy 2013!

We had a great time ringing in the New Year with family - first Paula's family over in Spain via Skype, then with Michael and Claudia and our nephews.  What a fun night! 

We're looking forward to all that God has for us in the coming year - it should be a big adventure! 

Merry Christmas!

We hope that you have a great and merry Christmas celebration and are prosperous in 2013!  Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts - we are all doing well.  Sue is gearing up for a mission trip to Nicaragua in June 2013, Jacob is planning on finishing up his Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Megan will continue to go to college and work at Camp Maranatha again next summer, Paula will be with us until the end of May, Stephen hopes to continue to play soccer and sing, and Kevin will hopefully earn his black belt in karate.  Lots going on with us - give us a call or email or skype or something just to say "Hey!"
