Here we are, six months after my last post! To summarize, where do I start? My trip to Norway with my brother Rod, sister Gloria, and brother-in-law Ken was such a great experience. We were gone for 21 days in August and are still reflecting on what an awesome trip it was. If you are interested, check out "some" of our trip pictures and my journal at http://awaage.shutterfly.com. All together we have well over 3000 pictures to choose from, so it has been a bit overwhelming to organize. I still have a long way to go. My journal also is far from complete, but I will be adding to it as time goes on. That is, if I am able to make sense out of all my jottings!
Joel has been back at UMM this semester. In fact, he finished his last final today and is celebrating. As of October 1st he has been renting an apartment in Morris, so he hasn't had the stress of the daily commute. It also gives him more opportunity to get involved in campus activities. He is still tutoring a few hours per week in math, and actually gets paid for it this year! Spanish is still his favorite subject however. During Christmas Break Joel is planning a trip to CA to visit his brother, Karl and sister-in-law Ember.
We wish you all a very happy and healthy new year. May you be blessed in the coming year with God's peace and hope in the midst of uncertainty, and joy in all those immeasurably precious moments that we often take for granted.
We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our grandson in February! Levi & Jessica are expecting their first baby, and he will be our fourth grandchild. Erik and Elisabeth are the parents of Henry, age 10, Calvin, almost 9, and Lydia, who is 6 years old. They are great kids.
