Movin' On Up...

You know, the theme from the Jefferson's?? Maybe not...

We really are moving up (north that is)! We finally have accepted a call to a church!! Kirk will be serving as pastor in Larimore, North Dakota, about 30 miles west of Grand Forks. He will also preach Sundays at a small country church near Grand Forks, so he has many busy weeks ahead of him! We are so glad that God has placed us exactly where He wants us. It was a surprise, feeling called to a small town church, but we have a great peace about it. We will also be close to my grandparents and about 1 hour from my parents' house as well, so that is a blessing. Please pray for us as we prepare to move (again!). Kirk will have his ordination at his home church here in IL on August 26th, and then we will be moving up to ND on the 28th. Hooray!

Here are some recent pictures of Will in the pool at the house of some friends here in IL. Wouldn't it be nice to have a pool in your backyard?

Will really loves the pool

"I see you've put on some weight lately, Will." (Sawyer Niles)

"Ava, I think I'm in love..."

Kirk played some basketball in the pool as well. That's him falling into the pool after making a shot.

Kirk, Jenn and Will,
So delighted you've been called to a church. Know this is what you've been working towards.
Please let us know what time your ordination will be on the 26th.
