Catching Up...

Ryanne has been working hard in her surgery recovery and met her goals for her 6 month check up. The surgeon released her back to rollerskating which is her first love. I almost started crying when I saw her doing something she loves so much. She has also been doing water color book marks and selling them to help pay her way to Portugal this summer. She will be doing mission work there in July. She is getting back to the things she loves like worship team, leadership at church and babysitting. It's hard to believe when I look at her that she was in such bad shape in August. So many prayers and Gods healing has been such a blessing.

And of course just being a teenager is an adventure ha!!

Some exciting news I can finally share..Dan was offered and accepted the job as Fire Chief of Loma Linda. It's been a crazy year for our family moving departments again but this does feel like home. Everyone has been so kind and supportive.

A lot of the guys who have been with us all the way back at San Bernardino City Fire came out with their wives to Dan's promotion dinner to support our family.

It was so good being with old friends and now new ones. I'm excited for this new chapter in our lives...

Happy 18th bday sweet girl!!! I cannot believe I am old enough to have an 18 year old. What the heck!! HA!!!

On her way to visit friends at Biola Morgan was in her first car accident and needless to say her first "adult" life lesson. Ugh! She's fine, the car not so much.

Thankfully the full coverage insurance paid off and after much looking she found a used car she could afford.

I enjoyed a few warm sunny days before the cold snap....I'm ready for summer.

It's been fun watching Morgan and her friends grow through High School and make life choices...

Morgan really hated living on campus and all the room mate drama and not being able to get a job by school so she moved off campus to a job in the Mountains working with kids and shifted her classes to the distance learning. I took pictures of the three best friends as Naomi decided to study in Europe this semester. They were so sad to all split up but face time everyday. Can't wait until she's back in May.💓

My mom was volunteering at a horse rescue ranch last week when a horse was spooked and ran her down. It trampled her and broker her left foot and hip. She had to have emergency hip replacement surgery and we spent last week in the hospital. It was super scary and traumatic but she's at our house now and hopefully on the mend. Long hard recovery for her for sure. 😟

Dan & I drove for a High School event up to Sacramento and were able to sneak away and have dinner with my brother and his family which was nice. The kids are getting so big and it's sad we all live so far away.

Some of our college kids went to St Louis for a conference and made it back frozen but safe.

Terrible picture but we we took the girls to see Wicked and man it was good! I also got to go see CATS with my mother in law last weekend which was interesting ha! Not sure I understand CATS....but still had fun with Betty and always something new I haven't seen. Be blessed this week friends as you seek Gods face.
