Roofing Charlotte's parents house

Hi everyone,

We have been keeping very busy.

We spent this week putting a new roof on the house occupied by Charlotte's parents. It needed a bit of extra TLC as it was rather poor work last time. It has a pitched roof built over a flat roof. It turned out nice this time, we are so glad it is finished.

Charlotte has been busy with cub scout recruiting. She did recruitment outings in the schools and at a rally at the Lions shelter. It was a bit of work.

We put in an offer on a very distressed house in our neighborhood today. We figure it is a 50/50 on getting it. We would like to have control of the improvements. It would also give us a large job so close to home.

Charlotte and the boys have been hitting school hard this week.

We have received great news from Peggy and Michael, and Nathan and Amanda. The engineering firm that Michael was hoping to get into actually made a position for him and he will start working there on the 29th. The firm is expanding into Menomonee, Wi and Eau Claire, and Wausau. After he gets the next licence, it is very possible he could be running a branch in one of these areas. The offer meets his salary expectations. Peggy and Amanda have both been hired by the same company. They are collection positions. They will be able to carpool. It just seems as they are in the center of God's will. Everything is falling into place so beautifully.

Last weekend, we had a family reunion organized by Charlotte. It was attended by about 50 people. Rather than just sit and talk, we organized a murder mystery skit with 10 of us in full character and costume. It was a lot of fun. ( I, Brian was an Indian!!)

This week our work will take us to Marshfield to build a deck, then to Colby for a house and garage roof, also siding repair. This project is another hail damage project.

This week, our Hispanic church will move to the High School. They have outgrown the Gathering Place.

Thanks for checking in.

In Christ,

The Haines family
