Farm Girls

These girls are loving farm life. 
It helps that it's been Summer and the weather has been beautiful. 
Their favorite parts of living here are the cats, the dog, the 4-wheeler rides,
and the staying up late and sleeping late. 
They miss their friends the most, as I had expected, but modern technology has helped ease the pain.  They spend a lot of time on the phone, computer, and iPod. 
We are thankful we have the ability to stay in touch. 
It takes a lot of time and work but definitely worth it!
We are getting settled, but it's been a longer process than we'd expected.
The Lord has been good to us; we are thankful for this opportunity and 
absolutely love having Daddy around! 
 
 This girl loves her "MACK!"
 
 Momma kitty Pur-Pur loves to be the baby
 
 The feisty kitty Frisky
 
 Silly baby
 
 Jenna with Marshmallow
 
 Carrie loves feeding the cats their milk
 
 The girls got to ride a horse.  Jenna was much more hesitant than I'd expected.
 
 Carrie was loving life!
 
 Jenna loves her dog Bear 
 
Waiting for the sheep to come
 
 
They got to pet a little lamb. 
They weren't so impressed; it had just rained and they felt like wet sponges

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. =)
