For the first time, our family spent a day learning how to ski!  Everyone made it down the ski runs by the end of the day, and left without injury!!  It’ll be a while before we go somewhere with steeper or longer runs....some of us still need to perfect our turns and stops.

Phil begins his last semester of studies in early February.  He graduates mid-May with a Masters of Divinity from North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago.  He begins the “call”process in January, meeting with our denomination’s conference superintendents to discuss our options and how we best fit into ministry in their conferences.  Our hope is to stay in Chicago for at least one more year so that Colleen can graduate with her friends.  

Colleen is in 11th grade, taking AP Chemistry, AP French, pre-calc, physics, art, Brit Lit, and computers/Java.  She is in the book club and loves her youth group. She continues to take viola lessons from a professional violist from Scotland.  

Caleb is in 8th grade, and enjoys ultimate frisbee, frisbee golf, yoyo-ing, basketball, and now skiing.  

Erin is in band, choir, and on the basketball team.  She is in 6th grade.

Kerry continues to work full-time at North Park Seminary, edits part time, tutors writing to masters in nursing students, and enjoys photography, skiing, family, and friends.  She also enjoys volunteering at church with the missions and women ministry boards.
