Andrew is 10!

Hi everyone,

I am writing on the 29th, Andrew's 10th birthday and the 3rd anniversary of hurricane Katrina.

We are waiting to celebrate Andrew's birthday, as we have been on a large roof project in Marshfield and we are waiting for Peggy, Michael, Nathan and Amanda to make it home this weekend.


Brian, Nicholas, Joshua, Samuel, and Andrew have been working on the roof. This is the first roof project that Andrew has used a roof nailer.

Peggy and Michael have arrived in Minneapolis.

We have been busy with all of our normal activities. Charlotte is heading up cub scout recruiting. She is recruiting at our local public and Catholic schools.

Brian and Charlotte sang their first ever public duet this Sunday. You can hear it at northridgefamily.org Hit the link to the Colby/Abby church and hit This week's message.

Thank you to Mary for your visit!

Charlotte is very busy organizing a family reunion for next week. We are holding it at the Medford City Park and are planning to camp there for the weekend.

As the days pass, we are realizing how serious the hailstorm was here a few weeks ago. The damage in the city was serious. We have received a settlement offer on one of our duplexes. Brian is receiving numerous offers to repair damaged roofs and siding. We had golf ball size hail horizontally wind driven.

We are keeping the Gulf Coast in our prayers as Gustav threatens the coast.

Our Wisconsin time is half used up. In 4 months we plan to return to Mississippi.

Thank you all for reading our blog. Feel free to respond. It is easy.

In Christ,

The Haines family
