YUCK!

We have a couple of very sick girls! Carrie started vomiting on Friday morning at 4am. She continues to feel unwell right now, with a fever and fussiness! Preston and I decided yesterday morning that we should keep her home, so Carrie and I stayed home while Preston and Jenna went to Sunday School and Church. When they got home, we all ate lunch (Carrie was already asleep) and put Jenna down for a nap while we watched the football playoffs. About 4pm, we woke up Jenna from her 2 hour nap, and she proceeded to lay around on me for a couple hours. Finally about 530, she said her tummy hurt and by 6, she'd lost her lunch. Later at bedtime she apparently lost the rest of whatever she had in her tummy, and now she's just running a low grade fever, but not acting like she feels too bad. Preston and I are praying and hoping we don't catch this nasty flu. We have been and continue to be so thankful for our good health this season!

My dad went on a medical missions trip to India. They arrived sometime yesterday and will return home on Feb 5th. Please pray for safe travels for the team, and that the Gospel would be shared as they address the medical needs of the people of India!

Merry Christmas 2025

  Click on the photo to view our 1 Second Everyday video for 2025 Merry Christmas! As we look back on 2025, our hearts are full and we’re counting our many blessings.   Jenna is thriving at Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, ND. She’s found a wonderful group of friends who feel like family, and we’re so blessed by the way they love and support her. Trinity Volleyball wrapped up a strong season filled with fast kills and competitive matchups, and Jenna was honored to earn a spot on 1st Team All-Region. Her growth this year has amazed us—she continues to build on her talent with grit and determination. Last spring she had a memorable missions trip to Darlington, England, and she’s already preparing for her next adventure: traveling to South Africa this March to minister to students during the college’s annual Go Trip. Carrie, now 17, recently returned from the ND State Volleyball Tournament, where the Bulldogs finished 6th in the State B. Her work ethic—on and off the court—con...

Merry Christmas 2024

Merry Christmas! This has been a big year for our family, full of wonderful memories, celebration, and change. In May, Jenna graduated from high school as the salutatorian. Her accomplishments were impressive but her speech made us swell with pride. Jenna spent the summer babysitting for our dear friends in Bismarck, a wonderful transition time for all of us. In August, we helped her move into the dorms at Trinity Bible College and she has been blessed in the process as she learns, grows, and finds community. She got to play a lot of Lions volleyball this fall, and we had some fun family adventures traveling to her games. She’s really looking forward to a TBC “GO trip” to minister in England in March! Carrie is now the oldest at home and just finished a great volleyball season as a solid middle hitter. Basketball is next. She got her driver's license and turned 16 this year, so she’s enjoying the independence of driving “her” Dakota. She and Jenna were blessed to go on a mission tr...

Kittens

Image
This will probably be a favorite picture forever. This Spring we had a stray tom cat sneak in and we had four litters of kittens, 18 in all!  This litter of kittens loves playing with Amelia and will chase her around sometimes. She certainly loves them, and usually does a good job of handling the kittens with care. I said usually. She has just turned three. We'll let this one slide. Everyone escaped unharmed. =)
