Another year has passed, several seasons of life, countless journeys into new experiences.
God still displays His power and showers us with His grace; shaping, forming, molding us into wonderful
masterpieces and tactful tools to be used mightily for His glory and His kingdom.

Robin is continuing to grow in the Lord and learning many life lessons that most young men at his age do not,
as he owns and operates his own company. Selling boxes would not seem like a viable job venue- yet Robin proves that if you put your mind to something and willing to become an entrepreneur then anything is possible.

Raymon, Robert, Reagan, and Reese. The "4 Amigos" have never been stronger. All of them are continuing
to grow mentally, spiritually, and physically. Constant rough-housing keeps them as swift and
painful as ninjas and as their mass grows- so does the pain that they inflict.
Raymon and Robert are not only learning school but also business dealings as they start their own leaf removal
and snow shoveling services. All four of the boys are still accruing skills in music, remodeling, and creativity.
Their favorite highlights of the year were the Home-school Bible Bee, Camping with the family, Boating,
Fishing, Swimming, and Biking in the Evenings.

Hazel is growing up and turning into a beautiful young princess. She is also learning the violin and piano
and keeping herself occupied with school, playing, and just being pure cuteness.
Her smile and hugs are like a little sunbeam running through the house and its amazing to see how quickly
time flies as the "baby of the house" matures into a young lady.
