2011 started out pretty tame,
Mostly busy with daycare and school.
Spending time together as a family,
Our kids are just so fun and cool!
Most of February was spent being nervous,
Awaiting the internship decision.
Although we knew what we had hoped for,
We weren’t sure if it matched with God’s vision.
We opened “the envelope” March 9th,
And it said we'd head to Wisconsin.
We were able to visit shortly after,
To see the new home of the Johnsons.
Everyone was so hospitable!
They made us feel right at ease.
We started to look forward to moving.
Yay for the Packers and cheese!
April was much more relaxed,
Enjoying daycare and warm sunny weather.
Lots of potlucks and time with friends,
The community loves hanging together.
May brought the end of school.
Micah donned a graduation hat.
Jeremy had lots of papers due,
But he did really great finishing all that.
We stayed in Minnesota for June,
Spending time back in our hometown.
It was fun to just relax together,
Having all of our family around.
July was an exciting month,
Time to move for internship,
Packing and unpacking boxes,
Becoming acquainted and getting a grip.
August meant getting settled further,
Meeting lots of new people at church,
Trying to find our way around town.
Getting new doctors became quite the search!
September is time for new beginnings.
Jeremy took on more of his intern role,
Leading worship, preaching, visiting,
Getting a feel for the church as a whole.Micah is attending 4K.
He likes his new teacher and class.
He thinks xbox and legos are awesome,
And spending time with his friends is a blast.
Liliana is as spunky as ever,
In preschool and tap/ballet.
She’ll chat up anyone who will listen,
Loves to be silly, dance, and play!
Sandy spends most her time sewing,
Cooking, and blog writing,
Keeps busy managing our family,
And stopping the kids from fighting.
In October, we were blessed with a visit
From our dear friends for Halloween.
It was great to catch up with everybody.
Trick-or-treating was quite the scene!
In November, we took a vacation.
The kids first time getting to fly!
We made lots of amazing memories.
It was sad when we had to say bye.
December brings holiday cheer,
Christmas pageants and Liliana’s dance show.
Time together enjoying the season,
It will be over before we know!
Next summer we’ll head back to Wartburg
For Jeremy’s final year of seminary.
It’s been an adventure so far for sure!
Some times joyous, and others real hairy!
2011…what a year!
Filled with excitement galore.
As we look back on all that we’ve been through,
We wonder what else is in store?!?!
Our family has been blessed so dearly,
With laughter, health and love.
We’re thinking of all you this season,
And giving thanks for you to God above.
With love,
Jeremy, Sandy, Micah and Liliana
Really cute Sandy! Nice job :)
