These past couple of weeks we've celebrated a number of birthdays among our family. Since my extended family has grown considerably on the DeVries side, we get together once a month to celebrate whosever birthday was that month. In May, Minsook (my "adopted" sister from Korea), Brett (Dennae's boyfriend), and I all had birthdays. It was fun, as usual, out at my Mom and Dad's house. They now have a contract on their house that will hopefully turn into a sale in the days to come.
Shane and Sjanie Medhurst, and their two-year old son Brock, are leaving us and moving back to Australia today, May 31, as I enter this blog. I met Shane on a mission trip to Australia back in the late 1990s; Sjanie moved in to our basement with our family in the late 1990s. They met on a mission trip to Australia in 2000, fell in love, and got married in 2002. Shane moved here, and they've spent the last several years establishing themselves. And now the time has come for them to move to Australia and fulfill some God-given privileges and responsibilities there. We will miss them dearly as friends and church members and pray God's richest blessings on the. On Thursday night, 80 people from our church family showed up to say "farewell" to them.
Also, Michael enjoyed his 5th Grade Graduation this past week. We are now entering the phase of life where all of our children are either in middle or high school. Please pray for us.
Don't forge the pictures at the bottom of the blog.
Have a great day for Christ's sake,
