I have so many random things in my head today, I just don't feel like I have an organized way to put them together. (Lack of sleep could have something to do with that. . . ). And some things still feel private and personal to our family. But as you all have become family of a sort, I will share :-) My sister and her family are here today. SO much fun. They arrived a few days ago and today is their last day with us before traveling back to Montana. We sang together in church with our mom, had a couple family dinners and held a baby shower for my sister's newest baby--Koliah. We have been blessed to spend time with so many family members over the last month or two. Such a treat after so much time away from them. We are saddened and sombered that Tom's grandmother, Ann, has been diagnosed with brain cancer, and that is something we ask you to pray with us about. We love her very much, and I am praying today that God will bless every day of her life. He knows exactly how many of them there are--even if we don't! We are thrilled that she has plans to visit us this week! We are also thrilled that Tom's parents are coming, too. Pray for warm weather for us! The boys are doing well in school--as are we :-) Tom and I are on staff this year and loving it. Speaking of which, I've got to go and pick the boys up. Blessings to you all. . . J.
