Doug, Sheila, Jeff, William, Russell & Phillip’s 2013

 

Thanks for visiting our Web page. We hope you enjoy your visit. We have links below to descriptions of various events in our lives. The most important thing in our lives is the Good News we've found in the Bible.

 

We were all together to start the year. Jeff & William returned to their respective places of learning soon after that.

 

 

February saw us working on Phillip's Science project. He made a systems of weights and pulleys to pull different surfaces across ices to see which provided the best traction. God provided a natural testing environment on our patio with a "convenient" ice storm! Phillip ended up winning a blue ribbon at the St Louis competition, two college scholarships and made the final 300 at the national level.

 

 

Jeff got dunked after his first solo flight in the T-6.

 

Phillip amazed us with his gymnastics routines. Below we caught him in mid flip in his floor routine.

 

 

Russell enjoyed his 17th birthday with our new church family.

 

Jay & Karla treated us to a trip to Six Flags in San Antonio and two trips a day into their swimming pool!

We can never thank God enough for the many blessings He has given us this year. We pray that you have the joy of knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you're not sure what that means, we urge you to read the Good News we've found in the Bible.

 

From September 2002 to December 2003 we had the privilege of living in St Vincent to do Bible study with a number of individuals.   We have pictures and details of the trip at StVincent2002.  We've had the privilege to return to St Vincent several times since 2003 to visit the many friends God gave us during our 15 month stay.  We have accounts of some of these at StVincent2007, StVincent2009, StVincent2010, and StVincent2012.

 

William, Russell & Phillip boys attend North County Christian School.  We have some pictures of the school's campus here.
