Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to you fantastic women in our lives. Its wonderful to be surrounded by, and to have the blessing to associate with great women.



Jennah is about ready to launch her soap business. We have hopes for great success, though on a limited scale at the outset. If any of you are curious to see her website as it is right now, you can go to woodlandnaturalsoap.com.



I have just finished my latest CAD class and find myself in a familiar conundrum. Where do I go from here. I felt through part of this course that I am actually more interested the design process and principles that go into creating the objects rather than just laying them down in a drafting project. That means engineering, but I can't afford, in time and money, to go back for another Bachelor's degree in engineering right now. It would probably take 5 years to finish it going in the evenings. So, I've got to think through all of this. That's ok. The Lord has something in mind and we'll find our way there.



The kids are great.



Jesse becomes a Deacon next month. That's exciting.



Brielle has found that "big books" like the Fablehaven series are actually worth the effort, such as it is, to read.



Paige wants to be a writer and poet. She loves to tell stories, now she just needs to remember them for long enough to write them down.



Kylee can rule play time with the strength of her imagination and the way she wraps everyone involved in her reality.



Caleb. Rockets, jets, balls, and guns. What more can I say?



Eryn is both stubborn and persuadable. She is stubborn when she won't be made to do something. But, her siblings can get her to play along at almost anything where she gets to be a key player. No problem, we just need to change life into a game and we can get her to do anything.



Love you all.
