Busy Bees!

We've had a super busy January. Josh took a J-Term class during which he traveled to South Dakota for 6 days to visit a Native American reservation. He said it was a really interesting experience and he enjoyed getting a small glimpse into another culture. After his class was over we spent a week visiting family and enjoyed being able to see Grandma Julie and Grandpa Kurt, Mandy and Drew and the kids, Grandma Vi, Jill and Gerry, Tony, and Jane.

We were also able to see Grandma Swaim, but unfortunately we had to visit her in the hospital. Three weeks ago she fell and broke her hip. She was doing ok, but after her hip surgery she showed some signs of having a stroke. Her condition has been up and down for the last 2 weeks, but this past Saturday night she suffered a major stroke and has been unresponsive, so we ask for your prayers for her.

We were also able to visit Nana and Papa that week. We clearly did a lot of traveling, but it was wonderful to see everyone and get away for a little while. The last few days of Josh's break we've just been hanging out near home and having a "staycation." We went swimming one day and bowling another. We had a lot of fun and are ready to finish Josh's last semester. He started back to class today and we'd appreciate your prayers as we go through these next few months in school and figure out what's next!

Another positive thing that started last week is Kaia started potty-training...and she's doing great!! We're so proud of her and she's proud of being a big girl!!

I've posted a few pictures of what we've been up to lately...enjoy!
