Happy New Year!

Quick family Update:

Brock is in his sophomore year in college...studying hard and hoping to go into the medical field. He will be going on a medical mission trip to Peru with his school in May. He still runs track for the school as well as enjoys playing almost every other kind of sport!

Bri is in her Senior year in High School. She just got accepted to the college of her choice! Way to go...she wants to study accounting. She is working hard at the movie theater. Out with her friends alot but always a big help to me at home. I love hearing her play the piano.

Ben is a sophomore in High School. He is learning to drive and just got his first job...at the movie theater with his sister. They ride together and that makes it easy...both are working hard! Ben is quite an artist, I'm in awe of his talent.

Noah is a 5th grader. Noah plays football for the cowboys team here. He is also quite good at piano and is an avid reader! What a super sweetie his is.

Mia is 5. Started Kindergarten this year and lost her first tooth. She is our over dramatic "I want to be an actress" kind of girl...keeps us in stitches she is so funny.

Gabriella is 4 and in preschool. She has changed the most this past year...becoming a little girl instead of a baby. Oh but do we ALL love to baby her. Her favorite thing is her stuffed Panda.

Bill continues to like his new job here and still does a fair bit of travel. Loves to fish and golf when he gets the time.

I have started something new...I am now working with a non for profit: Project Chosen Ones we advocate for hard to place orphans. Shhhh I've already found one that would fit in perfectly here! I also work with the Shalom Foundation to help the plight of poor families in Guatemala. Last year Brock and I went on a mission trip there. At Christmas we helped raise and send money down to help feed families we met in the village of Las Conchas who desperately need it.

Well you are now caught up. I can't wait to see how God will use our family this year...always an adventure with God. I hope you can join us...
