The Peacemaker

-
Today was Joshua's last day of preschool and the school had an awards program. Mrs. Yeomans was an excellent teacher and friend to our family. She presented Joshua with a diploma and the "peacemaker" award. She said he was the child who always helped other kids and made sure everyone was involved and friends. He was given a Dove chocolate bar representing his peacemaking skills! It was very cute! He also got his report card and got all outstandings, but one - completing his work in a timely matter. He tends to take a really long time to get things like handwriting assignments done....maybe too busy helping everyone else? We'll work on that over the summer along with a few speech problems caught on this assessment. She commented again on how sweet and well-mannered Josh has been. We look forward to a relaxing summer now as we prepare for Kindergarten!

PS - We are in our last week of prep work for our house to go into MLS. It looks like our realtor is coming on Friday and we could have a sign by next week! We are painting a lot this week and over the weekend inside and out. Keep us in your prayers please.

We met with her last night and got the lock on the door and filled out all the paperwork. We asked if we could wait until Tues to put the sign in the yard and online because Aaron and John have to finish painting the back of the house on Sunday. We have a few other small things we are working on today and tomorrow too. But the sign is in the garage! And we will hammer it in Mon night :) Keep praying!

Our 2024 Christmas Update

-

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
