(A nice little family pic taken at the end of May 2007.)I guess I'll start with the youngest. Isaiah's back in school and he loves it this year because they don't have nap time. Although the school is federally funded (and they don't require the kids to pray for their meals/snacks) the teachers are Christians, so we love that. Isaiah is funnier every day. I'll post some fun comments of his at some point I'm sure. He's just the best, and we thank God for him.
I (Tanya) am thrilled to be 9 courses away from my Bachelor in Accounting from Siena Heights University. (Yes, Aunt Mary, they are accredited. I remember you asked me that when you were here. By Northwestern...?) I'm aiming for completion next summer, but I'm at SHU's mercy, according to when they offer classes. The plan then is to start working for an accounting firm, while still studying/sitting for the CPA exam, then eventually onto a Master in Finance degree. I was asked by a local CPA to call him when I graduated. That's pretty cool.
Matt is studying for his degree in Computer Networking. He's looking at a possible internship in this field. We both need prayer/direction with our currently employment situations. Anywho, Matt loves his guitar (I don't mind competing with a guitar, really), and we both are on the praise/worship team at Lake Michigan Christian Center. He's such a hard worker and a wonderful leader for our family. We just adore and thank God for him.
"Oma" - the coolest woman in the world. Actually, we (Oma, my friend Missy from Chicago - see picture
, and I) went shopping this weekend - just the girls. The shopping excursion ended with fulfilling a request by Oma to have ice cream - we polished off a box of (4) drumsticks on the ride home, but don't tell Matt and Isaiah. Oma really is a blessing. In my last class I named her as the person I admire the most, the reader's digest version reasoning being because she's courageous, she doesn't give up, and she "prays for her family like one powerful woman of God." (She reminds me of Oma K.)
