Kids & Grandkids

Now for the really fun stuff.... as alluded to in the previous sections we now have two grandchildren. Jacob, who will be three on February 20th, and Keilani, who is almost seven months old now. Having them live in the same house, although we are in completely separate living units, is such a tremendous joy. We thought we were lucky just having them live in the same town, but having them this close is much more precious than we could have imagined. Jacob just knocks on our door and asks if he can come in. Of course it is very seldom we say no. He loves to hang out with us. He even had breakfast with us this morning. He is such a people person, and wants us to do everything with him. Even if he is just sitting and coloring in a book, he wants us to do it with him. But, grandpa's favorite thing is when Jacob says "You want to munch me?" Keilani isn't quite this active yet, but she is rapidly developing a STRONG personality too. She will definitely be able to hold her own with Jacob as she grows.

Jeff, our son, just turned thirty years old in December. He has also quit teaching full time. He and Faye both work part time for a home school organization. He also tutors kids part time, and since he has always wanted to be his own boss he recently bought a hot-dog cart. He is actually making more from just selling hot-dogs than he was teaching full time. He is much happier now too. Don't know quite what the future holds, but we are praying for him.

Janna graduated from Moltnomah Bible College in Portland and is still living there. After Moltnomah she spent a year studying to be an esthetician. She just passed her state license examination and will soon begin this career. She also works in a brew pub and does freelance modelling on the side. She recently did a photo shoot for Keen Shoes and she ended up on both the front and back cover as well as several places throughout their new catalogue. She has been dating the same guy for about seven years, but no marriage plans yet. We are praying for her too!
