Family Update
We are so blessed to be a family of eighteen now - 5 kids, 3 kids-in-law and 8 grandkids. Ryan and Julie are still in Seattle with Owen and the twin girls. They are WAY too far away, but Skype is a wonderful thing. Heather and Mike have moved closer to us. They have four girls now. Mike works from home part of the time and is doing great in his job. Alesia and Brad are enjoying their first little one. Brad is teaching high school physics and Alesia is home with baby Harrison. Chris continues to advance in his job, and Jeremy will be graduating college in December with a degree in Biblical Studies.
Life has been too busy for me to do any theater since playing Jean Valjean in the Waco Civic Theatre's production of Les Miserables, but I hope to get back to it someday. Meanwhile I continue to sing in a Men's Quartet.
Life is fun and God is good!

We Climbed a Mountain…
Two years ago I accepted a challenge to get in better physical shape. As part of that challenge I set a goal of climbing Pikes Peak. This summer 3 of my kids and my son-in-law joined me and we took on the mountain… and made it. It was REALLY tough, but we persevered and made it to the top. Next challenge? To be announced… hahaha.
