Our Hearts Rejoice …

June 10, 2019

How wonderful it is to spend time with family! Holly and the grandkids were able to come for a short visit in early June. We did not “do” anything special except spend time together. Doing things like going to the park and eating freeze pops on the back porch in the afternoon became an ordinary […]

Fun Times …

September 29, 2018

It is always special spending time with family and we treasure every moment that God gives us! During our recent visit with our girls we were able to make memories with our grands! Pray for our girls and their husbands … as they continue to invest into the lives of the “gifts” that God has […]

My Heart is Full …

April 18, 2018

What? Another trip? Three days after returning home to WI my heart was full as Jared and I left for NE on Spring Break! I didn’t think this trip was going to be possible but God pulled it together and on the road we went. What joy it was for us to be in our […]

COME AND GO

January 24, 2018

January has proven to be a fast paced month. I came home from WY after Christmas and immediately went back to work in the ED Office at the BI (Bible Institute). Helping with preparations for the new semester, registering students, and learning how to enter data in “Populi” (College Management Computer Program) was once again […]

Grandpa Makes the Rounds!

October 29, 2017

We are missing Grandpa! We have certainly enjoyed having the extra pair of hands during these early days with the “quads” but Grandpa Jared has now gone back home to WI and back into ministry, but … off and on, through parts of the months of September and October, he has been on the road […]

Blessing Bestowed …

April 29, 2017

After spending two weeks in Nebraska visiting family, friends, and supporters, God blessed us by allowing us to bring our daughter, Holly and grand-babies, to our home in Wisconsin for a few weeks. I didn’t realize at the time that I was really “needing” some Nana-time and God gave it to me 24/7! I continued to work […]

A New Grandbaby!

February 28, 2017

We are so excited to introduce you to our new grandson, Gabriel! He arrived on February 10th, his great-great-grandma’s birthday. He weighed in at 8lbs 14oz and was 21 inches long. He is so cute and his big sister, Ariah, adores him. She is always loving on him! Pray for Holly and Nick, as they adjust to […]

Family … truly a gift!

June 30, 2016

What do you do when your dad and mom cannot come and visit you due to a full summer schedule and you desperately want them to spend time with your little boys – ages 4 and 2? You decide to take your vacation time with them, pack up your family, and go to their house, […]

They Know Us!

August 24, 2015

God blessed us this summer with quality time with our girls and their families, and also other family members, and long time family friends. So often it is “in and out” or “hi and bye”. It was so neat to see the light in our grand-babies’ eyes and realize that they know our faces and […]
