Summer 2007

Wow, has it been so long since my last post???
We are enjoying our summer living here at Cedar Campus. our house has a great view of Lake Huron and usually a nice cool breeze even if it's hot out. Eric has had a very busy summer acting as maintenance director. We have 4 weeks of camp left and are looking forward to a slower pace.
God is good though and continues to meet us where we are at and keep us going forward. God is good, All the time.

The kids and I are enjoying swimming in the lake, more so the pool which is usually about 80 degree water compared to 60-68 degree water.

Eric's parents were up this weekend and we just got back from a wonderful beach called Sandy Cove that is a short hike from the main camp and it is just beautiful. I'll try and post some pictures so you can all understand. If you're looking for a beautiful vacation spot please come up and visit, you won't be disappointed!

Hope you are all doing well, we thank you in advance and ask for your continued prayers for the rest of the summer season. Our prayer letter will be coming out soon to all of you and I pray it finds you all having a wondersul summer, God Bless!

happy new year...

Well it's 2007! It's amazing to me that every year brings with it surprises. The plans we had for the year sure don't always work out and most of the time I get wrapped up in the busyness of
life that I don't even remember I had any plans for the year anyways. Well 2007 is going to be
different...at least I hope so. I intend to take more time for my friends and family because what I learned this year is you never know how long you have. My father passed away on Dec. 7 and what a shock! I would say we had a good relationship and he was always a constant presence in
my life, and suddenly there is a void in his spot. It's never too late to make an existing relationship better, you just have to take time for it. So that's my goal for '07, to make meaningful relationships with my family and friends. So I'll try to call more, try to stop in and see you all and let's make '07 a meaningful year. I love you all and miss you.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the U.P. We have transitioned well and spent Christmas day relaxing and opening presents! The kids enjoyed making the gingerbread Christmas tree in the picture. (Jake especially!!!) Cody is now 6, Taylor is 4 1/2 and Jake is 3.
