I know, I know, I know


It has been forever since I have blogged. We have had problems with our blogger account so Shannon had to do major work before we could even get into the system. Just so everyone will know, Shannon had to create a new blog account so here is his new blog site.

Okay, tons of things have happened this summer, however I will just hit the highlights. Some news in our family hit us in March that my father had colon cancer. He had a surgery in June and it seems that all was removed so he does not have to have chemo. God answered our prayers. Then four days later my sister-in-law had surgery and thankfully she is doing well. Then other medical issues that we found out in July is that my sister had uterine cancer. She had surgery in August and all was removed also and does not have to have chemo treatments so far. Now after saying all this, I am thankful that through all the medical issues my family has had this summer, God has blessed us richly and answered many prayers. God has been so good to us. Thank you for all of you prayers.

Now on a fun and crazy note. We had birthdays!!!!! Bonnie is now four years old and Brennen is now three years old. They are getting so big, sometimes I just have to sit and watch them because they are growing up so fast.





Wow, they look older. Once birthdays were done, we then had camp. So in July Shannon and I went to camp in Oklahoma for a week of rain. We had so much fun, and so many issues all in the same week. The kids were bored because in one day it rained over 24 hours. Then it stop for half a day and started again. You can only play in the rain for so long before your tired of it. Oh well, we had a blast and the week was over before we knew it.

Then, we came home and between classes for both of us, cars breaking down, and working, it has been a world wind. I will say that one wonderful thing is that our congregation is growing and with young couples with children. One couple has two little ones that love my little ones so we have become great friends. She has encouraged me to get out of the house and do things, so we are having a blast. Well so much for this week.

Bonnie starts day school next week, I will try to update then.
