It has been another amazing year in China, but we are so glad to be back in the United States for a short time.
Family News!!
The big news is that our son, Nate, graduated from Mahtomedi High School this June and will be attending DePaul University in Chicago.
Carly is still living in Minneapolis and working at an independent film company, Committee Films.
Liza just turned 21 (!!) and is at St. Thomas working on a Criminal Justice/Psychology degree.
Isaac is a senior in High School, turns 18 in December, and is the only one of our children with us in China. He will graduate from Xi'an International School this spring.
Renee (our youngest) will turn 17 in October and attends Mahtomedi High School where she will graduate in just under 700 days.
We're celebrating all we can this summer with graduations, birthdays, Father's Day, etc...
