The family



We are always thrilled to have our kids come home. Matthew & Kirsten came for Andy & Shanon's wedding and stayed a few extra days. I was able to take a morning off to spend with Kirsten, and we had a wonderful time. They reserved last night to take me out to dinner (and my birthday is still a long way away!) and it was wonderful.

Kirsten played her flute at the wedding and in church on Sunday and shared as well in church about the work in the North End. A few people told me this weekend that I must be very proud of my kids, and I sure am. What really makes me happy though, is to see them happy in their marriages, and to know they are loving & serving God.

They left this morning, and this afternoon Einar will be back from Des Moines, Iowa. So life will get back to 'normal' around here.

Today Paul & Rachel are heading to Thompson, MB, for a new job for Paul. He'll finally be able to fly! They are excited about this move, and although it will be sometimes be hard to be in a new place without any friends or family, at least it's not as far away as India! I'm looking forward to hearing about their new life there.

This blog is supposed to be about my life, not my kids, but sometimes it's hard to separate the two.
