Sep 3, 2007....It has been a long time since we post and after viewing our pictures you will know why. There have been many changes going on in the last couple of months. We brought a new person in our home. Jill Tu is from Taiwan and she is our foreign exchange daughter for this school year. She will attending Notre Dame High School. Our local high school refused to host exchange students. It is their loss because Jill is such a delight. She loves Norte Dame and she is apart of their Marching Band playing the bells. Another change in the last week or so is Brandon began his time in the seminary. Yes, he is so excited and we are so very much proud of him. He has such a love for his church and he loves to minister to others with the acceptance of each individual. If the priesthood is his calling, with the gifts God has given him he will be a great pastor and man. If during his discernment he finds out that priesthood is not what God is calling him to do, he will be a great person in where ever his journey is taking him. We hope we find everyone heathly, happy and knowing that they are truly loved!!!!

Sierra loves playing with Anthony. Anthony is Dawn and Jimmy's forgein exchange son from Hong Kong. Sierra will even share her riding toys with Anthony.

Brandon getting his room set up at the seminary....please pray for him and what God is calling him to become.
