As of Late…

 J and J went to Kalida on a recent Saturday to participate in an Ag basketball tournament. They won all 4 of the games they played. 



Quintin recently had oral surgery to remove a couple teeth. 





Quintin and I completed one of The Chosen puzzles and are currently working on the other. They’re unique because some of the pieces are shaped like fish. 

U. Russ, Jared, Rachael, Vickie, and baby Brooklyn are currently in Ethiopia and got to meet my friend, G, today. They were able to give her some items I sent for her.

Recently…

 The twins went skiing:

Quintin got to spend an evening at Daniel and Shana’s:

Beautiful sunrises:






We celebrated Shana’s birthday:



Quintin wrote this cute little poem at school: 

Darci got married! We had a great weekend in Illinois celebrating Justin and Darci, and their wedding reception had so many neat little Ethiopian touches! 

I spent an evening with some old high school friends:

Malia was the recipient of the Franklin B. Walter scholarship. She won for both the high school and the county, and is invited to the state luncheon in Columbus in April. The Influential Educator she referenced was Mrs. Moore, who gave a wonderful speech about Malia. 




And last but not least, Jordan got to cross something off of his bucket list this week. Have you ever seen someone so happy?! 😂 We have big dreams around here, folks.

My Senior…

 This girl is ambitious, affectionate, sassy, fun, feisty, compassionate, adventurous, intelligent, a little bit crazy, and so in love with Jesus. I love her with my whole heart, and I can’t believe she’s going to graduate from high school in a couple of months! 🥹
