Our News:
**
Justin started Kindergarten in September. Less than a week later he broke his arm just above the elbow and spent the rest of the month in a full arm cast with 3 pins in his arm.

Kiersten will be 4 in November. She is becoming quite the young lady with a strong spirit and sense of herself that is remarkable. She has no difficulty holding her own among her 3 brothers!

This past year Justin & Kiersten have practiced their barber skills on each other...It took quite some time for Kiersten's haircut to grow out. Watching them grow and change is just one of the joys in our life

Cody & Dylan are 15 months old now and have started walking. They are very much the normal, active 1 year olds, times two! They have started talking, but the communication between the two of them is what is amazing to watch. This past year has been a whirlwind as we all experience twins**
The Family
...More Family
**Matt continues to work at his music - both writing and performing. The music is maturing as he does and gradually he is developing his own style to go along with his talent. We all look forward to every opportunity to see him perform. Even at 22 he is still the open, giving person he always has been

Joe has just completed his first year in the Navy - and what a year. He was about 50 miles off the coast of Syria during the official conflict in Iraq. He is well on his way to becoming a fine man and may have found in the Navy a path to his future and we are very proud of him.

Dana & Kevin are continuing to raise their family, finish their house, pursue their careers and try to maintain their sanity! Dana landed a position at HCMC in OB, pretty much where she wanted to be. She is, of course, planning the next step on her educational course. But (gratefully or is it wisely?) is going to wait a couple of years before she takes on more school. She and Kevin have their hands full as they take on the challenge of each day and have much to be proud of.

Bill and I are in the final stages of our self proclaimed 'Remodeling Year'. While we did not attempt construction - the stress, work and time (and $$)invested in the updates has been well worth it. Think we'll just enjoy the results for a while before we get another bright idea! Besides Hunting is just around the corner!
