So it has been 2 long years since I have posted to my blog. I have been thinking about facebook a lot lately. The time has come for me to let it go. I think the blog is much more private and still allows me to keep connected with some friends. It's also a better means for journaling. It has been 2 years since my last post! Life has continued to move forward...kids are getting so big. So here is an update... Drew is still going strong building the chiropractic office and also teaching health and science classed at 2 different colleges. He is serving in the young men's program at church. We have moved into his parent's old house on rice lane....we love it! Michelle is busy working with the children...teaching them through Oregon Connections Academy here at home. Megan still attends the local elementary school here in town. She gets a lot of support there with an IEP. Joseph is looking forward to going to Kinder next fall. Some kids just do better learning at home. She also cares for one 2 yr old foster kiddo who is adorable! He gets to go home within the next 8 or 9 weeks. After that, we are taking a break from fostering. Michelle is also serving as the Primary Chorister. DJ is 10 and busy with Scouting and school. Although this doesn't sound like a lot, he is very busy with just these 2 things. He also loves to help his dad with any and all guy projects/service. Megs is 9 and growing like a weed. She has a deep love for school, books, and babies. It's fun to have a little sister so close to her own age to play with. Alayna is 8 and was just baptized! Activity Days is her most favorite thing to do. She will also be taking ballet this spring. Seth is as vivacious as ever and keeps all of us on our toes. It would be nice to somehow get some of his energy. Joe is 5 in about 2 weeks from now and VERY ready to leave home and go to kinder with Mrs. Garcia. Believe it or not, he still Loves THOMAS the TRAIN and is asking for another THOMAS birthday. So this is it in a nutshell :-)
