we're here to express congratulations to Jake who is quite an exceptional young man having led his high school swim team to state championship meets and earning his pilots license this year. this is a joyous family occasion--joined with Frank & Pat, and Keli's sister Cheryl and husband Cliff who flew in from Adelaide, Australia where he has been working since last fall; (we've missed them and we're glad they will be heading back to Alabama later this week).
but, we're also here in appreciation of Jake who threw a great benefit auction and dinner at his church that raised about $1000 for our startup funds. we worshiped with their congregation and had the opportunity to answer questions from the generous families who gave at that event.
it's also important family visit time as we don't know how many more opportunities we will have to take in time together or times in the midst of Michigan green grass and trees :) speaking of taking in the green grass, i was also able to play a round of golf with Frank and Bob today. Bob, in addition to he and his wife Jan's generous support of our family, also provided for our golf game. it was a great little diversion--my first round in well over a year--how'd i do? well, i had 3 birdies and 3 pars--but, the rest was not so great! pics will be posted from our time tubing behind Mike's boat as well...
Grace will head back to Alabama tomorrow for camp and a few days with my sister; meanwhile Keli, the boys, and i head off to Canada today. thanks for your continuing prayers on our behalf...
