Time flies when you are having fun

Hi everyone,



Wow, it has been a long time since we have posted.



Things have been CRAZY......busy this year.



I do not even know where to start, so I will just start.





Charlotte has taken on some hefty responsibilities. She has taken on the main role in the Tiger den of Cub scouts, this includes recruiting and training.



Also, she has taken on the leader role for the Cubbies group in Awana at our church.

The Boy Scouts have also been busy this year. In addition to our usual summer camps, the scouts also had a regional event this year, celebrating 100 years of scouting. Charlotte, Nicholas, Joshua, Samuel and Andrew attended this event at the EAA grounds in Oshkosh, WI. Over 10,700 attended.

We spent a weekend camping at Medford this July to celebrate the 4th. We were given news that Charlotte's youngest sister Amanda is expecting a baby due about Jan. 1.

We purchased a downtown Abbotsford building this year and have added a third apartment. We invested much work into this project, including updating many issues with the building.

The whole family is working hard on music. We play regularly on the worship team at church. Joshua had the opportunity to obtain a awesome guitar this week. He is now playing drums, keys, and guitar.

Work has been plentiful. In fact, we are running hard to keep up. Since finishing the apartment, we have done several window jobs, restored 2 distressed garages, and completed a roof job.

We will be framing up a house soon, we have been hired to partner with a person desiring to be his own general contractor. It is a 1800 square foot house with a attached garage and large porch.

Just this evening, we have been approved by the buildings and grounds committee as the recommended bidder for the theatre audio project for the Colby High School.

We have booked a vacation for January in Florida. We are planning to visit south Mississippi on our return.

We are all healthy, and blessed.

The kids are growing so fast, even baby Rosa is already 3.

I apologize for being out of touch, life has been so crazy.

I pray you are very blessed as you read these words.

Brian
