One half of a year later...the year of jubilee for this fella has begun. Our daughter Peggy and son Kayden have moved into a home in Mattawan. Alex, Austin, Zoey are doing well and we visited their campsite yesterday at Lake Michigan. Ed is doing well and we sure do enjoy them all. Josh and Erika and the boys, Caleb and Gavin are getting set to vacation in Hilton Head for the Fourth. Josh, Erika, Patty and i had an amazing time in the Caribbean to celebrate Erika's LPN success on her way to an RN. Elizabeth had her Open House to celebrate her graduation from Gull Lake HS. She is such a good girl and is enjoying her work at a nearby horse farm. Angel is driving on her permit, working on competitive cheer off-season stunt camps and conditioning and anxiously awaitng youth camp at Winding Creek.
Jamie is having fun being 11 and playing with friends in the neighborhood. We are missing Scott, Anna and the kids as they have moved to Texas. We will lift them up in prayer, and we thank the LORD for getting to know them these past four years.
Dad was here for a few days around Liz's party...it was great to visit with he and Uncle Red. They even made it out to our softball game in Portage. Mom and Norman stayed at the house with Liz and Jamie while we went on our cruise and Angel stayed with Aunt Susie out at Gull Lake. Ashley and Sheena were here in the Spring as they attended KVCC and the great grandbabies, Derek and Tessah have been the heart of our family. Ashley and Derek are still here alot and honestly...G ma Patty and i can't get enough of the little Junior Man, L'il Chris or Derek. He is the joy of our lives and i thank God for letting me be his g2 pa.
The blessings and struggles are many...we praise the Lord Jesus Christ and love Him more, each and every day.
