We have had some wonderful things and trying things occur since last we posted. First off, as you already know, Kaylie and LJ are expecting March 21. We have known for several weeks, but we were sworn to secrecy. I'm excited about this event. I'm not super excited about being called grandpa. In fact that sounds very strange to me, but Terry takes great delight in it.
Also, Nate and Zach have been doing really well, and we have a lot to be grateful for. We are very grateful they are excited for their mission and doing well. We love to get their emails each Monday even if they are somewhat short.
The last couple of weeks, Lynette's Mom has really had some health struggles. She became very sick a few weeks ago. As a result she started having many mental issues. It has been a real struggle to see her go through this. We have now gotten her some professional help, and she seems to be improving. For a while the family was trying to take care of all her needs. We keep praying and working for the best. I personally am grateful for how Lynette's family responded to this, something we never thought we would deal with. They have really come together. There have been some real spiritual experiences throughout all this that we are very grateful for.
As far as other members of the family go there has been a lot of soccer. Kelsey's high school team has had a bit of a frustrating season. They outplay teams but still end up on the wrong end of the score because they have trouble putting it in the back of the net.
Tyson and Max have also been playing. Tyson is the keeper. He loves it, but I have found it is not easy to be a parent of a keeper. Tyson continues to play defense. His team has also been frustrating this season.
Annika and Kelsey have been very busy with school. They seem to have a lot of home work each day. Annika is getting closer to the day she will drive. It is hard to believe that we have that many that are driving in the family.
Brianna is in a choir group starting this fall. She is super excited about it. We hope we have found something that she will really enjoy and stick with.
We love you all.
