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 […]

Grandbabies Doubled!!!

The number of our grandbabies have doubled – from 4 to 8 – and we feel truly blessed! Heather and Dustin, along with sons, Aiden and Callen, have welcomed four wee ones into their family.

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 […]

A Desire Of My Heart

July 25, 2014

As I sit at my computer and think back over the past few weeks I am in awe of what GOD did for me just recently … HE made a way for me to spend time with our oldest daughter and her family this summer. Our son-in-law is working on his Masters in Education and […]

Making Memories

April 30, 2014

We are always thankful for the time that we have with our adult children but making memories with grand-babies is indescribable. Jared and I recently had the utmost joy in making memories again in our home with our grand-daughter, Ariah, and her mama, as her daddy was out of state for some reserve training. Although […]

Fun in the Snow!!

February 19, 2014

Recently our Student Event Coordinator scheduled a Toboggan Party and the number of students and staff that attended was amazing … to me! (I was thinking … who in their right mind would be out playing in the snow in single digit temperatures and with a wee bit of a wind chill factor … but […]

Overjoyed!

October 31, 2013

Our hearts were blessed as we recently met our newest grand-baby who was born in September. He is the third for us – the second child (son) to our oldest daughter and her husband. We were amazed at how much he looks like his older brother in this newborn stage. It was as if we […]
