Merry Christmas!

Well, it has been a while since I last blogged!  Life has been rather crazy for all of us.  We hope this blog post finds you enjoying the celebrations around the birth of Christ!  I simply can not imagine life without Him!

A brief update on our children.  The big news is that TJ is back home!  He has been home for almost two months!  There have been huge changes since he came home!  We are grateful that God has His hands on TJ, protecting him while he served ten months in the Corrections Receiving Center in central Ohio!  He is working HARD for a local company, pouring concrete walls.  He is making plans to get a degree in Construction Management.  We welcome your continued prayers for him!  Tyler is officially a sophomore at Mt. Vernon Naz. University!  He is double majoring in Accounting and Business Management.  We are really proud of him!  Dane is busy in his sophomore year of high school at Fairfield Christian Academy.  Besides the violin, he has added the electric violin, the bass guitar and the acoustic guitar to the list of instruments he can play!  He plays in the worship bands both at school and with the youth group at church.  He played on the golf team this past season and will continue with that.  He will be getting his drivers liscense in February....yikes!  The girls are doing great!  They bring such joy to our lives!  They are both in the second grade at Fairfield Christian Academy.  Lily continues to play the violin.  Sarah is content with her drawing!  They are both serious readers...for which I am glad!  They are also playing basketball this year.....and I am their coach once again!

Tom and I are doing well.  Tom continues to serve Fairfield Christian Church as the Teaching and Worship Pastor.  I am subbing at several schools while I am looking for a full-time position.  I have a great possibility in Higher Education and hope to be able to announce that the first of the new year.

Again, we hope this blog entry finds everyone well and healthy!  May you all know "Joy" like never before!

Ty's picture was in the local paper today for signing to play golf at Mt. Vernon Nazarene University.  It certainly is a blessing for him to be able to go to Mt. Vernon next year!  He'll stay in Ohio!  It's about 1 hour 15 minute drive from home so we'll get to see him often.  I do think he has major senioritis these days!  He has some fun things planned before he goes to college.  In May he is going to do some hiking/rock climbing with a few of his buddies.  In June, he will be going west with Tom and Ty.....and back again!  We are very proud of Tyler.  He's done exceptionally well at academics....has excelled in golf....more importantly, he loves the Lord!  We are very proud of him!

Snow Run Brothers 2011


TURN THE PLAYLIST SONG OFF AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BLOG TO HEAR THE VIDEO>
We do a snow run challenge every year at our house.  We recently did this one with Ty and Dane.  The girls did it two years ago, but have since refused to do it.  I will MAKE them do it next year!  Enjoy!  Oh, I'm glad my boys wear hats when it is cold out!
