Updates from Home!

It's been a busy summer and we will be ending it in New York!

So much fun having Jordan & Ginanne & little itty-bitties here for July! We miss the noise, the toys in the back yard and sweet kisses and smiles! If you can believe it Jordan and Emily are already back in school!

Zach is now in Bellingham. If you need his address, text us! Best of luck little Red!

Due to a lack of communication I was transferred to Rogers High School. My 6-hour position at Willard became a 3-hour position and I should have been offered the choice to move on or stay. I was not contacted and so on August 9th received the letter that I had been transferred and I had been replaced at Willard. I have declined the Rogers job and have decided to go back to subbing. I was upset for about 3 hours but the Lord has impressed upon my heart that there is a purpose for this change. I don't know what it is but I trust that it will be amazing! It always is!

In case you didn't know, Becky has been dating a young man by the name of Brian Holt. He must be amazing because we all know Becky is!


Brady as you know is doing wonderfully! He is so happy and doing so well. He wrote Dad and I to thank us for giving him the space to choose for himself when or if he would serve a mission. I admit that it wasn't easy but the palpable joy we feel from his letters tells us that once again, the Lord knows best and when we trust Him, it will work out for the best!

We look forward to seeing Patrick & Lindsay & Maran & Devin and those brilliant and beautiful grandchildren next week!

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." 

Love you All
Mom

The mystery of 'Who Shot Santa'?
 
 
The Weapon used to perpetrate the crime!
 
 
The sad and devastating results!
 
The list of suspects include:
 
 
Little Red AKA - 'Guilty as Charged!'
 
 
Little Becky AKA - 'Queen of the Buffalo Goats'
 
 
Little Braids- AKA - ''Brainiac'
 
 
Big Daddy  AKA - 'Troublemaker'
 

Big Mamma  AKA - 'Who me?'
 
The description provided by Santa was inconclusive because he was shot from behind!
Somebody's going to get coal next year!

 
 
 
 
 

Merry Christmas 2013

 
Merry Christmas 2013
 
 
 
We're so happy!!! It's kind of scary!
 
 
How can we cheat at this game? I know, we need Maran
who never gets doubles! That way we'll win for sure!
 
 
If I pick my nose, no one will touch the dice
after me!
 
 
I think we can take out Becky this way!
 
 
I can do this, I can do this, I can do this!
 
 
Let's imitate the minions on the cover!
 
 
The before the craziness picture!
 
 
Waiting, waiting and more waiting! Come on Brady!

 
Wake up you filthy animal!
 
 
 
 
Let the unwrapping begin.
 
 
A good day for family!
 
 
Thanks everyone!
