Jesse finished his time in Afghanistan and is back at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. He got a brief break at Christmas then it was down to Louisiana for a month or so of training. As ever when the military is involved there is no way of knowing what long range plans are.




Phil and Gina are enjoying Deacon James who was born October 5th and Maxton as he takes full advantage of his "Terrific Twos".


As of Jan 2012 Julie is back from Ecuador and continuing her junior year at Capital. She did share a few of her adventures on her blog, but by far the best view of her time there come from her many pictures, most of which have explanations.


Craig is wrapping up his Sr year.  He is working on college decisions as he picks from the schools he has acceptance letters from. Capital, Cedarville, Ohio Dominican, and Ohio State.  Current plans are early childhood education.

Mexico Trip Pictures from our Puebla Trip

We took out 25th anniversary as an excuse to go to Mexico and spend Beth's last week after student teaching with her. It was an unbelievable opportunity to get away and be immersed in another culture.
