It's been a while

It seems like so much, but yet so little has happened in the past few months to write about. I really have been waiting to write a new blog when something exciting happened, but, unfortunately, we are still waiting for that.
Trae is doing great since his surgery! He is back in school and back in gym class. Besides the scar on his chest, you'd never know he had major surgery only 4 months ago! I am so thankful that we actually made it through those 8 long days in the PICU and that he is back to, or better, than his old self!
As for Chad and I, we both still continue to look for work. God does keep providing for us every month to get through it. I have had a couple of interviews at St Francis but nothing has come yet. I really just keep reminding myself that God is not surprised by anything that happens in our lives, and that He does have a plan for us.
I am actually thankful now that I am not graduating like I planned this May. I realized that with everything that went on last semester (the layoff, the surgery and everything that goes along with that) I was in no way ready to graduate! Again, God knows what he's doing!
So, here's some pics of what's been going on the past few months:

Luke turned 6 in January! Here he is at his party with cousins Christian and Owen


The boys love playing in the snow with daddy. Here they are in the backyard, trying to make a snowman.


Aida and Riley helping me make cookies one afternoon :)



Trae did a Martin Luther King Jr play in his class one day. This is him in front of his paragraph he wrote.



We definitely have 3 rockers in our house!

Singing at RockChurch on Palm Sunday with their Sunday School class.

The Josh Hill Family..... said...

Hi! Thanks for the message. We are enjoying our new location. Josh will be really busy with the lumberyard, but he was ready for the change. It is nice for him to be back home. I enjoy Marilyn and Eunice. I wish I could see them more often though. I will keep up with your blog....it is fun to see pictures of your kids and Leslie's kids. I haven't really been in touch with Jodi on-line much. We talk on the phone once in awhile. Her family is in Oskaloosa. All of her kids are in school now, so she is working full-time at the hospital. Mark is still employed at Pella Windows. They love horses and rent a lot outside of Osky where they keep several horses. I'll give her your email. Stay warm...we'd sure like Spring to come!!!
