Life

Life has been busy, sad, happy, emotional, and hopeful. We had a wonderful trip to Colorado for Christmas and stayed with my sister and her family. It was fun to have the cousins together again.
It was special to have Adam's first Christmas. He loved eating the wrapping paper more than the gifts. We all came home sick, but now are recovering and getting back to our normal life.

We heard on our way to Colorado that Amos' Grandmother passed away. It was difficult. We had visited them back in August and she was doing well. Very sad. As soon as we got home, we headed off to Minneapolis for the funeral.

Amos' Mom missed her first flight to Switzerland to be there for the birth of Lydia and Danny's baby. Thankfully she got another flight and was able to get there in enough time to be there for the birth of their baby, Ryan Edward.

In the joy of the Meier and Young babies, there was also the sorrow of the little Moffit baby girl not surviving a premature birth. We are praying for you Moffits! I also had a very hard phone call today from the wonderful lady who has been taking care of Adam twice a week. She has been struggling with cancer and told me that the doctors are saying she has 6-8 months to live. I am just mourning and so deeply sad for her. She has an awesome family and I am so incredibly thankful that her and her family are born-again Christians who love the Lord. We are praying for her so much and her family.

So, there have been a lot of emotions. God has answered prayers concerning our future with staying at home. I will let you know more later! I am praying I can find help with Adam due to Julie's illness.

That is life wrapped up in a nutshell right now. More to come!
