Catching Up

I haven’t posted in a while, mostly because time has flown by since my last post.  So, I’m taking today to play “catch up”. 

Okay, something unexpected happened after Christmas.  ILLNESS!!!  Of course we’d all get sick!  Marty shook several hundred hands at the Christmas Eve service.  He then became very ill with influenza over New Years.  This is unusual because Marty NEVER gets sick.  And as often happens, his illness spread to our children in early January. Our son became ill with pneumonia and missed almost the whole month of school.  However, we had great support from our church community, and Hans is back up on his feet and back to school.  We were even blessed by his wonderful school teacher.  She came over to the Black Cloister after school to teach him, so he wouldn’t get too far behind in his studies.  God bless her!
