A lot has happened the last 3 years. Our family has grown and continues to grow. We are blessed beyond belief! We've had a lot of wonderful times together, and have carried a lot of heavy crosses. We just take it one day at a time. Sometimes, one minute at a time. I'm grateful to have all these beautiful people in my life. God is good all the time!
We've added a new grandbaby, born 2 months early. He will be 2 in two weeks.
We have a new granddaughter, due in March of 2023.
One of our sons entered seminary a year and a half ago. He has a long journey ahead of him. He's doing very well and absolutely loves it! Please keep him and all seminarians in your prayers.
We've had kids move out, move back home and now, 4 of them have moved out again these past few weeks with 3 of our grandchildren. We went from having 13 children living at home to 5 kids at the moment. The house is definitely a lot quieter and cleaner, these days.
Luckily, they all live within 15 minutes of us. Their houses are just a few miles from each other. They still come over to visit almost every day. We spend most of out time together playing board games.
My husband and I just celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary. We finally went away for 2 nights and visited a few wineries.
I did a little bit of photography for our homeschool group. I haven't picked up my camera in a while. I need to get back to it. I really miss it.
I recently joined a wonderful Christian company. It fits so well with my love for home decorating and hospitality, and most of all, love for my faith and the Scriptures.
We did a lot of remodeling, especially in the kitchen and bedrooms. We took out all the carpet in the house and replaced it with laminate floors. The house is a lot brighter now. There is still a lot more to get done. We've lived here for 17 years, and with 13 kids at home until this past summer, there has been a lot of wear and tear on the house.
