  • Wow Its been awhile since I posted. A lot has happened since then. God has been good to us through it all!!

    We went to Canada as Planned, This friend passed away around 12 hours after we got there. So we stayed for the funeral. We were gone 1 week. We were glad we went though. We got to see many old friends at the funeral.

    After we were home for about 1 1/2 weeks or so we found out that the whooping cough was making its rounds in our church. Our 2 youngest girls had it and I think the baby got a slight touch of it too. So we all went on medicine for it to prevent the baby getting it worse. After the medicine was done we were safe to go back to church but decided we better not take our baby back for a month or so. I think it was more like 6 weeks til we went back. So for the first almost 10 weeks of his life we were to church only a couple times. It was hard but God was good and we used that time to build relationships with our girls. They greatly enjoyed it but were ready to go back to church again. We went to the State parks many times in that time. We greatly enjoyed seeing God's marvalous beauty. It was so beautiful there with all the fall colors.

    We are trying to finish up first grade with our oldest daughter. I'm hoping to be mostly done by Christmas. Then we can start 2nd grade in Jan.

    We have all our plants ordered for next spring. We start up on Feb. 1st. We will have to decide what to do though as we got lots of sleet and it brought down a greenhouse that we were planning to use for some of the plants. We don't have the money to rebuild but we really need this greenhouse as its our livelyhood for our income. If you could all pray for us we'd appreciate it very much. And if you feel led to help out that would be much appreciated.

    It is very beautiful out with the snow and sleet. We git about 3 inches of snow then about 4 inches of sleet on top of that. Atleast it wasn't pure ice lice some places got. But it was still very heavy and brought one of our greenhouses down.

    My baby is growing very fast. I need to weigh him this week as he turns 4 months on Thursday. I can hardly believe that he is that old already. He is a big boy!!!
