Valentine Madness


Since our last blog, we've enjoyed getting to know Brett a lot better (that's Dennae's boyfriend) as we've seen the new year already pass into it's 2nd month. It's been a DeVries tradition for some time to get together as an extended family at my brother's house and eat spaghetti without utensils to celebrate Valentine's Day. You'll see which pictures are from that annual fiasco. It's always a mess as well as a lot of fun. Matt and Simone are hosting a girl from Germany for a couple of months in their house, so the girls have enjoyed getting to know Jasmine. We also began a tradition for Northern Ridge Baptist Church this year and had our first annual Valentine's Banquet. It was a lot of fun, a real blessing to get to know some people in some unique and profitable ways.

Everybody is doing well. The kids are well into their 2nd semester of this school year. Noel still enjoys selling real estate. Dennae is still home schooling, enjoying her job and having fun with Brett, and I'm getting older and fatter by the day!

Hope you all are doing well for Christ's sake,

MJD,Sr.
