It is hard to believe that we are soon to close out our first full calendar year in Southeast Alaska. Thanks to the many encouraging words and prayers, we’ve made it through.
Earlier this year we didn’t think our house in Oregon would ever sell, but it did, and then a couple of nerve-wracking months (okay, so for those that strictly interpret "couple" as "two," it was a "few" months) later, we were able to move in to a wonderfully old and new home.
Last winter was one of the snowiest winters on record, but we survived. We haven’t seen nearly as much snow so far this winter—we hope it stays that way.
Elise completed her RN re-licensing and is now a valued member of the city medical center staff. Shelley is now taller than Dad (as you might notice in the above photo), and Amy is quickly closing in. They continue to be home-schooled, though not necessarily enjoying every minute of it.
A recent highlight was the community Messiah performance in which both Mark and Shelley sang. Mark also sang the opening solo.
We hope you have a blessed and joyful holiday season.
