Baby Grace

Please pray for my sister, Michelle and her husband Matt. 
Today their daughter Grace was born early at 19 weeks and went to heaven.
We are all extremely sad and grieving the loss of this precious baby girl. 
I appreciate your prayers for our family.

November Update


Marcus' football season ended the first Saturday of the month when their team lost in the playoffs. He had a great season and a lot of fun. It was awesome to see him improve in his skills. I think the best part of watching him was seeing him encourage and inspire his other teammates. He is a passionate football player.
After the game I took the boys to sign them up for winter basketball that starts right after Thanksgiving.


We've had many guests come to stay with us over the last few months. Recently our friend, Paul, who was actually Josh's youth pastor years ago, came out from our mother church to spend a weekend at the beginning of the month with us and preach at our church.
Right now we are blessed to have more family here...Anita and Tori.


I have been working very hard at planning our children's church ministry, schedule and classes, as well as putting together a monthly newsletter for our church.
I also attended my first perinatal conference over the last three days because of my involvement in NICU parent and family support. It was incredible.


We had our first parent teacher conferences with Rob and Allie's teachers.
Nothing but good things to report!
Rob absolutely loves school. He is doing exceptionally well in all subjects.
Allie is having fun. She excels in math and has grown so much in her reading.


Today Josh is teaching Rob how to rake the many leaves scattered across our backyard.
Rob is hoping to go into business in our neighborhood someday raking leaves in peoples yards. So, Josh thought he better show him how its done...
Rob just came in for a quick break and said he doesn't want to do it anymore as a job.

A visit from Grandpa Young & Grandma Dianne


They came at the perfect time to see a performance
by Allie's first grade class at school

This is one of my greatest childhood memories...watching and listening to my dad play the piano. When I was little I would dance around the living room and sing along to the songs he played.
But, this piano is extra special...it was his when he was growing up. You couldn't imagine my surprise about 4 years ago I walked out to my driveway to find a big unknown crate shipped from North Dakota--it was this amazing piano!

Rob was enjoying Grandpa's music and in awe of how good he is

Allie was taking mental notes as she watched
Grandma Dianne make one of her beautiful baby blankets

Rob & Grandpa shooting some hoops in the backyard

A beautiful morning at Marcus' football game




Out for a delicious lunch before Grandpa & Grandma drove back home
