Family

THIS is the reason we moved!
THE FAMILY-- almost all were together on Saturday for a weiner roast at the Twist lodge (Beth's house). If Danny and Betsy could have been here, our day would have been complete! We missed them.

Grandma Marie with her sweet little Katie

Timmy, Andy, Joann and Katie, grandma Marie with Donny and Jack.

Jack helped Donny get a drink.

Jack with Auntie Jo


And we finished the day with a leap over the fire! "Beth be nimble, Beth be quick...."


What a fun day we had! I'm sure glad we're here!

Joann got a job at Starbucks and starts on Tuesday, but Jim hasn't gotten a job yet. We're still staying with Kim and Andy in Vancouver, and looking for work, a place to live, a church, a bank, new doctor and dentist, etc. What fun we're having!!

Makes us want to join you! Wish so much we could be up there; maybe one day in the not-too-distant future, God willing. Don't get discouraged; He has just the right home, job, etc., for you all. In the meantime, we pray for guidance for you. Keep on lovin' on all of those kids!

Hi Marie,
I just wanted to take a minute to check in and read your blog, and let you know how much I appreciate your continued contact, love and prayers on my behalf.
Please add my neighbor to your prayers, Beth is 52 and just diagnosed with stage 4 lung and liver cancer. Also the man I have been dating, Terry, was diagnosed with Leukemia, and needs lots of prayers for more than just his cancer...
I love the pictures and related stories, and all of the happy joyous faces...
As you know, we may have problems and set back in this life, and the scripture tells us that, it also tells us that we have a BIG God! And, that His grace is sufficient.
Love you, lots, Sharon
