Well I have not been doing a good job with updates. Lots has happened. On August 15, 2009 our daughter Tracie married Nathan Wiersma. It was an amazing wedding. They now live in a townhouse in Grand Rapids where Tracie is finishing up a Music in Worship and Vocal Performance degree at Calvin College. Nathan is majoring in Enviromental Science with a Geology focus and still several more years at Calvin. Tracie just began a job as the Worship Director at Princeton CRC in Grand Rapids. I know she will be great. Nathan works at the rock climbing wall at Calvin.
Stephanie and Kevin moved from California to Michigan in September. Stephie is working nights as a pediatric nurse at DeVos Children's Hospital. Kevin is substitute teaching and searching for regular employment. They recently bought a house in Ionia (an hour away from us - but it's better than California!) They are expecting their first baby in June so we will soon be grandparents.
Derek is in 9th grade at Holland Christian and is also on the robotics team. He appears to have some strengths in inventing.
It is January so the horse business is slow - but that will change soon enough.
