They say April Showers...
bring forth May flowers...Can we only hope?
This is the time of year when the weather really likes to tease you...you get a couple of really nice days of sunshine and heat, and then you wake up to the dreaded rain and cold! I know it's only the first of April, but I am ready for Spring! This month came in with lots of news about our family...just a short update...
Jacob is doing great, and was transferred from Charleroi back to Brussels the end of March. He was sad to leave Charleroi and all his new converts and investigators, but has a good attitude and ready to work in Brussels now that he is back.
We are also excited because Tanessa and Addi are coming to visit us all!! They will fly in on April 16th and be staying for a little over 2 weeks while Jake is in Buenos Aires. We are excited to see them and wish Jake good luck on his venture southward!
Clinton, Katie and Corgin have also planned and booked a trip to go visit Grandpa and Grandma in New York. Clint has been off work for a couple of months and with Spring coming, he is going to be working with his in-laws on the farm, and he was called to jury duty for the entire month of May, so...they will go visit the very end of April and return home on May 4th...just in time for jury duty! Katie is still working with the Chiropractor and loves it!
April 11th, 1933...you can do the math, I'm not touching that one! But I just want to wish her a wonderful Birthday! She is a great person and such a good example of loving service. I love you mom! We are getting excited to go to Palmyra in June to visit them on their mission...
April also brought some good news for Jaron's family (not so good news for us...) Heather has been wanting to return to school and finish her PA, and she found a school in Pennsylvania that she wanted to go to. Jaron put in for a transfer from Cracker Barrel, and low and behold...he not only got it, but it was pretty immediate! So they are planning on packing up everyone and everything and leaving for Pennsylvania by the first of May :( We got to see Heather and the kids on Conference weekend, so that was nice, and Jaron is planning on coming up here around the 24th to visit and say goodbye to everyone. We will surely miss them!
We are hoping that Trisha and the kids will be able to come the weekend of the 24th also, so that we could all be together for a couple of days...it seems that life keeps seperating us farther and farther around this crazy world! I'm so glad for modern technology that gives us email, twitter, facebook, cell phones, web cams and airplanes!!
One last thought, "I hope those May flowers are worth it!"

Great blog, thank you for all the updates!!
Sounds like my life needs more interesting things so you have something to report about us. I hope we can come in a few weeks too, we will just have to wait and see.
I guess I reported all about your family on the last post, so there just wasn't much new! Sorry if you felt left out! love ya, (Hope you can come too!)
Thanks for the Birthday wish!! Also, thanks for the new blog -- lots of news about the family. We are happy Tanessa & Adi are coming for a visit. We're THRILLED that Clint & Katie & Corgin are coming to NY to see us. We are sad to think of Jaron's family moving so far away from home, but are happy they'll be out here pretty close to us (while we're here). What a crazy life this is!! Never know where our kids will end up, huh?
Looks like April is bringing lots of fun things for you as well as changes. Thanks for doing such a good job with the blog thing. I still haven't really gotten into it as you can tell. We just aren't exciting enough.
