Goodbye

Well today is the day...The Hopper is leaving this morning for a 5 month CARAT cruise. We actually said goodbye to Darrick yesterday morning at 6am because he had duty. Micah and I cried and the boys keep saying that they miss Daddy but so far we are doing good on the home front.

Today my youngest brother, Jeff, is graduating from Dordt. Now all 4 of us have graduated from Dordt College and my Dad can finally retire from 30+ years with the phone company. Thanks Dad! My parents flew out to Iowa on Wednesday and will be there until the beginning of next week.

Moses is doing good. We have had to try something new because he kept having accidents all over the house so we have contained him to the kitchen-which he doesn't really like but it is saving us a lot of clean-up.

Once again I would like to thank everyone for the emails, prayers and gifts of support. It means so much to us!
