Better late than never, right?

One discipline that I've struggled with over time is journaling. It's no surprise to me that I don't update the blog that often.

The Bakers are doing quite well, feeling overwhelmed by all that God is doing around us.

The church has moved into their new building and are near the end of their search for my replacement, hiring a full time children's pastor in my place, I'm quite excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel of this tri-career time in our lives.

Young Life in Surprise is going GREAT with the volunteer leaders doing a fantastic job loving kids and sharing God's love with them. We continue to pray for finances as we still are short of our goal to come on staff full time.

Rachelle continues in her stability with her part time physical therapy to special needs kids, working with many of the same families that she has for years.

Kate is our mini-teacher and super reader, with a very sweet and kind heart, taking extra care of a girl with special needs in her class.

Ryan is a fantastic little ball of energy that is so funny and often surprises with his silly comments and desire to wrestle.

On another note, we purchased (and expect delivery tomorrow) of our new camera, so I hope to gain better knowledge with photos and share some of my work.
