Pics of us at park

Last weekend was Jared's 24th birthday. We had a picnic in the park with friends and played frisbee and bocce ball. Sorry, no pictures. :0(
Sunday early morning Dieneke's sister Deanna arrived and is staying with us for the week while she's on spring break.
This morning we went to a park near by and chased the ducks and geese. Carolyn loved it.

Not Going To MTC This Fall

The past 2 weeks have changed the course of our next year. We found out that not only is our sending church disbanding, but there is also no room for us at MTC this fall. At first this was all a bit of a shock, but we have seen the Lord's hand in it all. He has provided us with a new church that is excited to become our sending church, and since we cannot go into the training right away, we will have some extra time to really get to know them. It will also be a great blessing to be here near Jared's family longer, it will allow our son on the way to be a little older when we go, and will allow us to save up some more much needed funds for training.

What we've been up to

What have we been up to? Jared has been flying night trips, and Dieneke has been working on crafts. Our baby boy is growing big, and Dieneke is becoming more and more uncomfortable. Carolyn still doesn't understand that she will soon have a brother, but we get a kick out of seeing her give "Baby Henry" (mom's tummy) hugs.
