July July has been a really busy month with preparations for Family Camps and several trips for Gift in Kind.  Please pray for safety on the road but also that all the details are worked out for the special activities Matt is involved with for the 7 weeks of Family Camps.  Please also pray for the families that will be encouraged and impacted through the Family Camp ministry. 

Julie and baby are doing good.  Please continue to pray as the baby continues to develop and comfort as Julie is starting to hit the “uncomfortable” stage, especially at night.  Julie is also planning to go to Columbia August 18th for her brothers wedding.  Please pray that her Passport arrives soon and that we can get settled in the house before she leaves. 

Simon continues to grow and we are realizing things need to go higher and higher as he grows and becomes more curious.  He has discovered he loves swimming with Julie in the lake and eating only what mom is eating on her plate, not what is right in front of him.  Simon turns 1 year old today, July 28th.

Buying a house The bank called on Wednesday and we are scheduled to close on the house Friday August 3rd in Medford Wisconsin.  Please pray for the family as there are a lot of memories associated with the house.  Please pray that everything continues to go smoothly. 

Moving  We are planning on being moved out of our apartment by August 13 and settled into the new house.
