My goodness how time flies! Grace is 21 now and in her senior year of college. She and her boyfriend Joshua got engaged this summer and will be married next June after they graduate college. Grace will graduate with her bachelor's in accounting and will become a CPA, while Joshua is going to be a music teacher like his mom. Sara and I are thrilled that our children have fallen in love with each other. Wyatt and Piper are seniors in high school this year. They will be 18 on Christmas day. Wyatt is going to the same college that Grace is currently attending. Piper is going to beauty school. I always knew she would do that; she has such a talent at doing hair. J.J. and Pacey are 13 and in the 8th grade. Both boys play football and basketball. J.J. is in the school choir and president of middle school student council. Pacey is in the school band and plays in an intramural bowling league for middle school students. They have all grown up so fast, but we will soon be able to remember what having younger children is like. In January, we are becoming foster parents to a set of siblings. Jackson Rhett is only 8, but despite his family problems, he is extremely gifted and skipped ahead to the 4th grade. Maggie Colleen is 6 and in the 1st grade and Laurel Samantha is 2. We know that this will be a challenge, but it is one that we are looking forward to tackling.

Love you all,
