"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh, and

FROM OUR FAMILY… Greetings to you and your family! "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

This culminated in the home birth of our third child. Even the birth itself was not straightforward
as He made us rely
STEVE very much enjoyed working in his home office this past year. He was able to strike
a good balance between mental and physical work as he worked both
in the office, and out in the yard.
MICHELLE continues to homeschool Niko. This is Niko's second year, and they have been focusing primarily on Bible, reading, writing, and arithmetic. Michelle has been adjusting to and enjoying being a mother of three. We are so grateful that Michelle's folks have been helping us out tremendously during this postpartum time. The Lord has been teaching us to lean on others when we are in need. |

purple and pink are her favorites. Mia still enjoys copying everything her big brother does,
especially playing dress up. She also likes “reading” books and singing. During

She enjoys being a big sister and loves to hug and kiss Luke.
LUKE is already five weeks old. He has been busy growing; he now weighs about 9 1/2 pounds and measures 20 inches long.
Luke enjoys "talking" to his brother and sister; they get so excited when Luke smiles, coos, or says "ahgoo." Our church's website is www.familybiblefellowship.org. |

Michelle's pregnancy provided a perfect opportunity for God to teach us how to follow His lead.

night. God was gracious and He answered our prayers. Luke Joseph was born at home on November 11
(the second anniversary of the day we moved in).
He weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. and measured 18 1/2 inches long at birth.
This year Niko was able to help out quite a bit both in yard work and in refinishing the playhouse.
Steve also furthered his plunge into country living when he reluctantly traded in his four door sedan for a
four wheel drive pickup truck - he has not regretted it!
