Josh got his basketball officials license so he can now ref for basketball games here in Iowa. He's hoping to be able to get into some middle schools and have some potential influence there. No, he won't wear his glasses. :-)
Jenise is enjoying homeschooling Caleb and he's a quick learner. She also got the chance to speak to about 40 girls at a student retreat we had this fall. She's back to leading a small group of Jr. High girls now that Landon is in the nursery. She loves being able to help out more in ministry and being a mom to the three munchkins.
Caleb is finishing up with his first year of Upward Soccer. He loves it and is actually pretty good at it. He encourages his teammates, he's scored about 5 goals this year and hustles the whole game. He's gotten to make some new friends on the team as well. He's also enjoying homeschooling. His favorite part is reading and learning his letters. He's also in Sparkies at church and is doing very well. He loves to come out and let us know how many jewels he got that week. He loves being in Kindergarten and being in kids church. We are praying that he will come to know the Lord soon.
Kietlyn is the little princess of the house. She loves everything about dress-up, tea parties, and princesses. I think she'll be doing ballet or dance in the near future. She's also started working on school stuff while Caleb does his and really enjoys it too. She loves to be goofy and make people laugh, she gets that from her dad. Kietlyn is also in Cubbies and she loves learning her verses and it has made her feel like a big kid.
Landon is growing fast and is nine months this week. He had something called torticollis (spelling is probably not right) which is basically where his left neck muscles were very tight which meant that he wouldn't look that way. It's like he had a stiff neck for the first 5 months of his life. He's started going to a physical therapist to help with his muscles and has done very well. He also got a bit of a flat spot on his head because of it but that is "popping out" with time. He's now learned he can crawl and get around the house so we've got to keep our eyes on him a little more often. He also loves to talk more and is such a great baby. Caleb and Kietlyn love to play with him and love on him.
We are plenty busy with all the things that God has blessed us with and life has never been more full.
