Ben's Visit

Ron Henry bought a new truck through a broker, and it happened to be in Seattle! He flew up there to drive it back, and brought w/ him my nephew, Ben Swarner. Ben was able to help w/ the driving and then have a few days w/us and our friends the Thompsons w/whom he'd gotten acquainted on our Honduras mission trip! He instantly took to snowboarding, and it was a delight to have him around!

Easter Weekend

Since Jeremy and Charissa have a heart for Morocco, Saturday evening we ate at "Marakesh". The food was flavorful and the company fun! We met a young man, Asan, who agreed to help J&C learn Moroccan Arabic, if they'll help him w/ his English!
Sunday after church - a great celebration of Jesus' resurrection - RH, Alisa & Brady came up for dinner and the annual basket hunt. It was a gorgeous, delightful day, but we did have to say goodbye to Toby that afternoon as he left for Virginia and his last 6 weeks of college!

Spring Break '08

Spring Break was a busy week at our house! Toby came home from Virginia w/ his friends Patty and Dan. Sheldon and Stephanie came from TN with their three younger ones: Scott, Irina, and Dmitri. It's a good thing Charissa has a guest room at her place so we could accomodate everyone! We had a blast and it was all over too soon :(

A Master's Degree for Ron Henry!

Ron Henry finished his MA in mid-February, so Alisa had a surprise party to celebrate! We are really proud of his perseverance. He worked 30 hrs/week, went to class, and worked two days/week at his internships. He's also been coaching a soccer team for disabled kids. Becoming a college athletic director is his long term goal. Most of all, Ron has let the Lord develop his character and direct his steps and I have no greater joy, (3 John 1:4).
