baby levi is coming to michigan

Well now that Levi is four months old he is ready to travel to Michigan for the first time. He will be bringing his parents with him I might add. ha Benita and I have been able to make it down to Florida to see him several times over these past few months, but we are anxiously awaiting his arrival so our family and friends here can meet him for the first time.
Yes being a grandparent is all that I have heard about it over the years. He is a good baby (even though we know he has a sin nature just like all of us) and Jared and Melisa have enjoyed the new addition to their family immensely.We are so thankful for this blessing and will spend his first Thanksgiving together with Jared and Melisa. We plan on taking him to his first football game on Thanksgiving day. Yes I know he won't remember it but we will take pictures he can see later. Good thing is he will not be upset when the Lions lose again that day. No promises for his dad and Grandpa.ha

Baby Levi has arrived!

Levi was born yesterday after a 16 hour wait at the hospital. Baby, Mother , and Father are all tired but doing well. Well guess Levi is not tired he probably slept through most of it.ha. I will post a few pictures for those of you who do not do facebook. Benita and I and thankful for the gift that the Lord has bestowed on our family!

Happy New Decade!

Well we start not only a new year but a new decade in 2010. Past decade beginnings have been more dramatic than this one it seems to me. I remember the 70's, 80's, 90, and especially when in 2000 we not only started a new decade but a new century. But for some reason 2010 does not seem that much different than 2009.

Now on another note I notice that my last posting in November did not happen. It now looks like I will continue to work at the marathon project for a while longer. That will be a challenge for me as the cold weather has come upon us here in michigan with a vengence. One think that may be a help though is we will start working 5 eight hours days instead of 4 ten hours days. I am thankful for my job and the opportunities it brings to not only provide for our physical needs but give me opportunities to interact with people that I can hopefully influence in a positive way for Christ. I thank God for the great priviledge it is to be His child and for all the benefits of that relationship.

Happy New Decade!!
