Our present life

We are currently living in Manteca, California away from the cold winters of Chicago. We moved to California almost 4 years ago and started this blog in an attempt to keep in touch with our family and friends in Chicago or elsewhere. We miss everyone from the midwest but we love those who have become part of our life in California. Kevin is a teacher at Ripon Christian High. He also coaches girls volleyball and soccer and stays busy playing the sports he loves as well. Janey is a nurse 2 days a week and a mom the rest. She works at DMC on the pediatrics floor. Mason (5) and Talen (2) are growing daily and loving life! Enjoy our blog and follow us if you like!

The more things seem to change - the more they stay the same

Ahhhhhh.... there's nothing like a good run through the almond trees durring harvest time. Today felt to me like I was at home again as I ran that familiar path in the orchard. Kevin said when we first moved in that he was still getting used to our new home. But for me, things were a little different, I was already used to this home. In fact, I grew up in this home! But it will take awhile before the 3 of us feel like we are at home here as a family. Kevin has finished his first week at RC and things went well. He now has a better idea of what his year will look like and some of the challenges that he will face. God is starting to show us very slowly some of the reasons why he has called us back to Ripon. Hopefully he will continue to show us the grace to carry out his will.

Pretty snazzy outfit! Are you going to be able to get away with wearing jeans at RCS? ;-)

More pictures, more pictures! :-) Maybe we can set a date and time (this weekend?) to meet via Skype? That would be wonderful. :-)
