Happy birthday Aaron (12/27) & Noelle (1/3)

Noelle and Aaron celebrate birthdays within a week of each other!  They are busy with 3 little ones and being a pastor and the wife of a pastor, definitely two and a half full time jobs!  What fun!

Wishing you two a very happy birthday!

Love you both!
Mom and Dad

Happy Birthday Elijah!

December 7th Elijah celebrated 4 years!  Our little guy is growing up!  He is interested in "how" things work and is always has a question for Grandpa Jeff.  He needs no entertainment when he comes for a visit as long as he can follow Grandpa:)  Grandma's wild rice soup and mashed potatoes are favorites at our house.  Elijah is the guy in the middle - an older sister and a younger brother!  What fun!

Happy Birthday!

Love you,
Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Barb

Happy Birthday Heather! & Happy Anniversary too!

Heather celebrated a birthday on Nov. 14th.  She and Blair live in West DesMoines, IA.  Heather is a busy lady with work, taking care of Stella and Elmer, and of course Blair.  We spent some time with them earlier this fall. They have a lovely home and are the best host and hostess.  Although they live a distance away we know that they are close in heart.  

Blair and Heather will also be celebrating an anniversary on the 27th of this month! 

Happy Birthday Heather!

Love, Jeff & Barb

Happy Anniversary Danielle & Paul!

Today October 11th is Danielle and Paul's 9th wedding anniversary!  The years have passed quickly!  They have two beautiful children Natalie, who is 7 and John, who is 5.  All kinds of activities keep them busy all day and most evenings!  We are blessed that everyone is in good health!

May the years continue to be filled with your dreams and hopes, Danielle and Paul!

Love,
Mom and Dad

Happy First Birthday Micah!

Yesterday, October 6th we celebrated Micah's first birthday.  What a fun time we all had!  Micah is a smiling toddler exploring every where and every thing.  Micah seems to have an ear for music!  Often times we have noticed that when the music starts Micah will stop and turn to the direction of the notes.  Who knows what gifts he may possess.  Lauren and Elijah are great play mates.  Aaron and Noelle are busy parents - what fun for them.

We are all very blessed and thankful!

Happy Birthday Micah!

We love you,
Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Barb

Happy "5th" Birthday John!

Today our grandson, Danielle and Paul's son, Natalie's brother is 5 years old!  He loves to spend time fishing, playing Lego's, and has a smile that is delightful and a contagious giggle.  His eyes twinkle and make you just wonder what he is thinking.

Happy Birthday John!

Love you,

Grandpa and Grandma

Happy Birthday Abby!

Our youngest daughter is "30" today!  Wow, Aba-daba-nana-baby!  (did I get that right?)  What a young lady she has become - in fact she is going to have a daughter of her own!  Time goes quickly but the memories last forever in our hearts.

Love you Abby!

Happy Birthday!
