Thank you for all your prayers...thank you to those of you who left comments on our last update. Your encouragement means so much!

Closing on the house went very smoothly. We had no surprises with the closing procedure but did have a huge surprise with God's provision for where we were going to live for the next 10 months. At the last minute, with only one day left until we loaded the moving truck, God provided a cute 2 bedroom home for us to rent. The circumstances were amazing. Our good friend/lawyer Richard Chamberlain had a co-worker/friend bring up at a meeting that he needed to find someone that would rent/buy his wife's house. Richard told him that he new of a family that was looking for some where to rent for 10 months. We visited it the next day and it was a perfect fit for what we needed! A two bedroom ranch house with a basement, a small fenced in yard, a 1.5 car garage for Aaron's tools and a monthly payment that was lower than the appartments we couldn't afford. The Lord gave us way more than we were hoping for!!!! The owners were just as pleased as we were and went out of their way to get the house ready for us by the next day. Needless to say we signed a 10 month lease and really are enjoying our new place!

Good-bye 287th st.
Thank you for all the help/labor and fiances given through out the last 2 years journey. Thank you to Mark, Chris, Matt, & John for helping us move out. thank you to Pst. Jeremy, Mark and Matt for helping us move in. Thank you Camile and kids for watching our kids ALL DAY...wow (what a huge help). A huge thank you to my mom for watching the kids in the van while moving in. Thank you to our pastor's wife Jill and Mrs. Chesser for the wonderful dinner you provided.

What teamwork the body of Christ is! We are richly blessed.

Click on and check out the 2 pictures with Aaron's close call with the Uhaul truck. Missed his friend's truck by 1/4 inch. It was pretty funny...

We have been moved in for a week in a half and are just now feeling a bit settled.

The house is an old house with old widows and drains. We wonder how much our gas bill is going to be this month and in the future months of Dec and Jan...yikes! The furnace kicks on just about every 5 minutes and even though it's set at 68 degrees it is always really chilly. We had some plumbing issues that Aaron had to address this last week. It reminded us of our first home up at New Tribes.

Hello, Glencairn Ave.
(Did we tell you...we were praying to live with in 5 minutes from the church...we are... exactly 5 minutes!!!)


We are very thankful to God for moving us to a location where the owners are totally willing to have Aaron do all the work and will adjust our rent payment some for fixing up things around the house. It is an answer to prayer!

Other updates:
*We are serving on the missions committee at church which continues to be a blessing. We are serving on the praise team again while also coordinating the nursery and toddler ministry. Now that we are getting settled we would love to have families over once a week so we can get to know them better.

*Praise, Aaron has plenty of work lined up for this month.

*We have an appt. at U of M on the 13th for Brayden's 2nd consult for his surgery that will be coming up with in the next few months.

The boys!
Austin and Ethan are doing great! However Austin does miss child care at New Tribes and Kidworks on Mondays. Ethan has been potty trained for about a month and Brayden is crawling all over the place. He is still nursing well but really enjoys eating food. He looks just like Ethan did at his age.
That bath picture looks exactly like Brayden when he is in the bath. The boys between 9-12 months.
