Happy Easter!

"You don't have to wait for the end.  I am, right now, Resurrection and Life.  The one who believes in Me, even though he or she dies, will live.  And everyone who lives believing in Me does not ultimately die at all.  Do you believe this?" - John 11:25-26

Happy birthday, Sue!

My beautiful wife celebrates another birthday today!  She had fun at lunch with her friend Sherri, and we enjoyed a delicious dinner of vegetables at home.  Happy birthday, baby!

Happy New Year!

We are having a great time with Mom Emery here, and hope you had a good celebration to ring in 2012.  We are looking forward to another great year!

Merry Christmas!

We hope you are having a great holly-day season and wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy 2012! We are doing well, running to and fro the past few weeks as we got ready for Christmas, and now pausing to enjoy Christmas day. Mom Emery is with us, which makes the holidays more special, and she is doing well. Jacob is enjoying the break between semesters, Megan and the boys are enjoying winter break from school, and Sue is having fun staying on the go and doing interpreting assignments here and there. Since I am off on Sunday/Monday right now I am enjoying the holidays but feel for my people that are covering the operation at work (thanks, guys!). Life is good!

Happy Holly-days!

We had a good but different Thanksgiving - Sue and the kids went to Florida to celebrate with our family (thanks, Mom and Dad, Chris and Erica, and everyone else!), while I stayed home to work. We had a Thanksgiving-style feast when they got back on Saturday, and had lots of fun with our friends that came over to celebrate with us. It was neat - they had gone to Japan for a few days and our feast was their Thanksgiving dinner! We decorated for Christmas today - the tree is up, manger scenes and lights are all over the place, and Stephen, Kevin, and I put up lights on the porch and in the front yard. We're still hoping to put out a nice manger scene in the front yard, but haven't found or made the right one yet. Hopefully we'll get it done this year :-) Hope you're enjoying the holly-days as much as we are! Drop us a line, give us a call, or stop by and see us - we'd love it!

Happy birthday, Megan!

Our daughter turns 18 today! She is doing so well with everything, from school to leadership in church to friends to family, it's awesome to see her develop in to the fine young woman she is! Way to go, Megan!

Staying busy, having fun

Sue and I are running around doing lots of stuff with the kids. We took Stephen and Kevin to the county fair a couple of weeks ago (the picture above :-), went to football games, a campout, shopping, working, reading, and doing all the fun stuff that we do to keep our family going. Whew!
