Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year!



Hello Family and Friends! I cannot believe that I did not have time to sent out a Christmas card, via snail mail. I really do look forward to it every year and love keeping in touch with you!

Our family's biggest news is that we are expecting in May! The girls are so excited that they are going to have a new baby around the house. It is talked about daily. Claire is convinced that it is a girl, and Sophia tells everyone that we see!

We are in our second year in the internship program at Muncie Alliance Church in Indiana. Joshua is learning and experiencing so much and we are starting to pray more specifically for a location to move after we are done next Aug. We would appreciate your prayer on this too. Our hearts want to be settled into a community and local church, along with establishing a business in coffee.

Claire will be 4 years old in March! She is the typical big sister, with lots of love and concern for her sister. She is very social and invites most people to church and our small group. We have seen the Lord doing amazing things in her heart over the past few months.

Sophia is 2 1/2 years old and is very affectionate and giving. She loves "shadowing" her big sister, and because of this is wanting to become very independent (of her mom). This has encouraged her to be potty trained early, along with other things like getting herself dressed :)

Thank you so much everyone for your friendship! We really do value
each one of you and the place you have in our lives.

Love,
Joshua, Stephanie, Claire, Sophia, & Baby
