A Good Worker



My little man is a hard worker. At one week after his first birthday, As I was sorting things out getting ready for the move, I showed him how to take the paper on the floor and put it in the trash. After only showing him once, he mastered the concept! Later that night he found a small piece of paper on the ground. I told him to throw it in the trash. He walked into the kitchen, threw it in the trash and then he clapped for himself! I couldn't have been more proud.

We're Moving to Illinois

The verdict is in! We are moving to Bourbonnais Il. Olivet Nazarene University is taking me back... this time as an instructor. I will be teaching EDUC 295 Instructional Technology in the School of Education. The new book in mine and my families life is beginning to be written. Right now we are waiting for a move date, insurance dates, and finding a new home in Bourbonnais. We have seen God come through over and over again. I know he has a plan. The interesting points of His plans are...

July 20 Amy can no longer fly!
Aug 15 Start date and start of new insurance at ONU
Aug 23 Amy is due with our little girl
Aug 3o Current insurance ends.

A lot is still up in the air. We are hoping to make the move in July after Darren's wedding, but that is only if Amy can get pre-natal care! If not then she will have the baby in San Jose and she and Owen will move out sometime in October! This is the last alternative though, that would mean I may miss the birth, and I would miss either a lot of my new job, or a lot of my new baby... and of course Owen!

Future Prodigy



Here is my little guy, rockin out for the first time ever! I don't know if the drums are a good idea... He has already showed us that he has pretty decent rhythm when he claps... he enjoys dancing... maybe he's a natural. They are just so loud!
