Update On Us

Lately we have been having some beautiful weather. The temperature has been in the 50's with not a whole lot of snow (last time we had snow was Paul's and mine birthday). I can't believe that I am saying that it is beautiful and warm at 50 degrees. If you would have told me that or suggested that, I would have called you crazy. Anyway, we have all been busy still with our different things. The shop is growing more and more each day as we prefect our skills. The cool thing is that its not just the shops referring us anymore (although we do get alot of business from them), its now getting to where people refer us to their friends and family. What a blessing to see God's hand in providing for our every needs. The boys are growing like weeds and learning new things everyday. I can't believe how fast they are growing. They keep me very busy. Peter is still not sleeping through the night, mostly now because of teething. Paul is learning more words and animal sounds. It is so cute to hear him bark like a dog when we go for walks and he hears a dog bark. Joshua is slowly getting back into the violin shop, though we are mostly working on building up the business. We would like to get our rentals out to help our income. Marlene is still helping me with the boys and goes to the shop to help out so that they are not short handed when my mom goes marketing. Bob is keeping busy with tasks at the shop and book-keeping. Marie is busy doing different things at the shop (she wears many different hats). We miss her at home though and enjoy when she is at home and when she takes mornings off. Bob and Marie have been expanding their marketing to other towns, which sometimes requires driving and staying away from the shop until the afternoon. The Lord has blessed us so much and we love living here even though we are extremely busy. We appreciate all your prayers and feel loved and blessed. We miss you all so much.
