Quick Hello

We are still out here. It has been a relatively slow week, so not much to report except it is COLD in New England. I am presently teaching a Rape Agression Defense (R.A.D.) class in Nashua once a week and am really enjoying it. Beth returned a couple of weeks ago from Florida where she visited with her parents. They are doing well and Beth enjoyed the warmer weather. Jordan is in Florida continuing his mission - he writes every week. If you would like to be included on his email for his weekly letter please let me know and I will be happy to add you. Aaron continues to work as do I while Ethan and his family in Seattle and Emily and her family in Phoenix continue to grow. We miss our grandchildren (as well as our children who are not here) and look forward especially to Emily and James visiting in April.

On a happy note, Ian Grotenhuis, a very close friend of Jordan's, and good friend of all the family, is leaving the end of the month for a mission. He will be assigned to the Utah, Ogden mission and is very excited. We had a farewell get-together for him last night.

I will ry and get some pictures up soon, and blog more regularly.
Love to all
Ken and Beth

Okay, I'm Back!

It has been quite a while since I last was able to blog, for a variety of reasons. Our computer crashed and I had to wait to get another one (took a few months), then I had some health issues (minor heart attack) and then I was lazy and couldn't find my password. BUT...since my brother-in-law actually got on and updated his (after an eternity) I figured I had better do mine.

Let me add a few pictures that some of you who monitor my children's blogsites may have seen, but I want to add anyway.

The first picture is Jordan on his first day entering the Mission Training Center. Since then he has gone out to his mission in Jacksonville, FL and has been assigned to Cross City, Florida, which he really loves. the next one is Rob bathing James.
