We have a little driving to do this month. Wautoma, Beaver Dam and Ladysmith, WI are all on the schedule. We also have a three day mission’s conference in Manitowoc, WI to start October. This is our last month in WI,we pack up and head to Iowa  the first week in October as soon as the mission’s conference is over.

Our time in WI has been good but busy. The kids have been busy with home school during the week and we have traveled every weekend. I have been traveling to Plymouth during the week to help Susan’s brother, Wendell, move and finish up a few projects. Living with Susan’s parents has been really fun for the kids. They won’t know what to do with themselves once we are back in IA and it is just us again.

Well, I have been thinking about updating this site for awhile and finally got around to starting on it. The first thing I did, quite unintentionally, was delete ALL of our old site. Oops. It does make the updating easier though.

So to start the new blog an update is in order. We have just over a month before we will be returning to Iowa after a few months in Wisconsin. It has been a busy summer but overall we have enjoyed most of it. Chloe was briefly sick but the kids have been healthy. They are gearing up for more consistent home schooling after a summer with quite a few breaks. Melodie is excited to be in First grade. Cameron is in third grade and Chloe is chugging along in fifth grade.

September has us finishing up with a bang in WI as I attend the Men’s retreat at Camp Fairwood and Susan attends the Ladies retreat a few weeks later. I will try to finish up teaching on discipleship at First Baptist in Kiel on the last Wednesday of the month. It has been a good time of getting to know the church better and letting them get to know me better.

Stay tuned for changes in the coming days as I eek out time to get things together here again.
