Hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day celebration.  We spent the 4th with Chris’ parents in Bemidji watching a parade, doing sparklers, and playing croquet.  The last week and a half we’ve been with family, splitting the time between both of our folks.  We’re back in Minneapolis now and will be staying here for […]

Howdy again.  First, I just want to pat myself on the back for updating our blog within two weeks again.  I’m trying to be disciplined and intentional about updating our blog a lot more often.  So if it goes two weeks without an update shoot me an email and yell at me. Ok ok.  Summer […]

All is well.  Hope you are well as well.  I’m writing from my ‘desk’ (tiny 2 x 2 table) at Freshwater Church where I volunteer two days a week.  Maggie is home with the task of entertaining our kids all day today, (which shouldn’t be too difficult since it is gorgeous outside).  I left home […]

We have successfully made the transition back to Minnesota, and we have completed our training in Missouri.  For the summer we are living in downtown Minneapolis with Maggie’s sister and Chris is volunteering two days a week at Freshwater Church.  So what’s the next step for us?  Raising Support.  Lord willing, we will be making […]

We’re almost done with our training here at New Tribes Missionary Training Center.  We are officially New Tribes Missionaries and Chris is ordained.   We’ve opted to stay for the semester of linguistic training and so that’s why we’re still here.  At the end of May we’ll be moving back to Minnesota.  We plan on spending […]

Merry Christmas to you!  We’re in Minnesota for the next month, currently staying in Royalton with Maggie’s parents.  Kids are loving being with grandma and grandpa, uncles and aunts.  Our travels went smoothly and we’re glad to be on vacation for the next few weeks.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We’ll be spending Thanksgiving here in Camdenton, Missouri with fellow classmates that will be sticking around as well.  Friday, day after Thanksgiving, we’ll be heading to St. Louis for a little family vacation.  We plan to see the zoo and spend a day in the children’s museum.  After […]

First off, if you haven’t heard the good news, Maggie’s stent removal procedure cost us nothing.  Maggie’s doctor told her they weren’t charging us anything.  Praise the Lord! Anyways, its November now and the holidays are nearing (woohoo).  The weather has actually warmed up (been way nicer than October) and we are enjoying not experiencing […]

Maggie is flying back to Minnesota October 12-14 to have a stent removed that she had put in a week after Maisie was born.  Long story short, she has no health insurance and it will be a bit cheaper to have it removed in Minnesota instead of here.  We’re in the middle of the semester […]
