What's Been Happening With Us?

It's been awhile since I have posted. Thought I might drop a few quick lines to tell what has been going on.

Jacob just got back from Washington DC. He went with his 8th grade class. He had a great time and came back with all sorts of things to share with us. He really enjoyed the Smithsonian Air Museum and the Holocaust Museum (maybe "enjoy" is not the right word for that one). He did NOT like the Einstein Memorial since it was just a statue of Einstein and he could not see why it was important enough to take up his time. He is thrilled that this week is spring break. Oh...and he got his first call from a girl, tonight. Don't tell him I told : )

Hannah is only half happy about it being spring break. She misses her friends and her teachers and band and everything else about school. She just recently finished her volleyball season in which her team won three games. They were thrilled since last year they only won one. She is now getting ready for the school talent show. She will be playing "Linus and Lucy" on the piano.

Lily is being Silly Lily. She is singing and playing and reading all the time. When she is not doing these things she is breaking down in tears trying to get her way. We are working on that one. She is quite a lady about town. She does not like staying home at all. Oh...she is also learning to swim! No more floaties for her!

Kermit has been working, scouting, camping, remodeling at church, fixing cars, being dad and husband and otherwise keeping himself busy. What a guy!

I have been recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out (sounds easy, but is taking FOREVER to heal)and playing with the Cricut die-cut machine Kermit and the kids got me for Christmas. FUN!

A few payer requests:
Our friend Amanda's mom, Diane - she has been on dialysis for years and is now having complications (AGAIN!). Please pray for her health and wisdom for the doctors. Also pray for Amanda and her brother as they are dealing with their mother's illness.

Daniel and Tina - they are back from the mission field to stay (at least for now). Daniel is looking for work, but as we all know, that is easier said than done. Please pray that they find work and a permanent place to stay. Pray that they will recieve clear direction from God on what their next steps should be.
