I was looking at the date of our last post and realized it had been almost a month! My how the time flies. I wish that in light of a whole month of blog silence we would be able to offer you some new and exciting news, but I'm afraid we don't have any. So instead, a small update on life.
* School is good. Busy. Intellectually stimulating. Exciting. Challenging. Time Consuming.
* Heather's job is great. She has friends there, which she appreciates. They let her write papers when she doesn't have anything else to do, so that is helpful.
* Matthew is not actually taking any classes this quarter, but instead doing a guided reading course with Dr. Mouw. This means he reads books he loves all day every day and meets with Dr. Mouw every other week to discuss topics that arise from his readings. He is in Matthew-heaven.
* He happily discovered he will be able to finish his classes and take his comps next April (2010). He's speedy!
* Henry turns three next week! Our little Valentine's Day puppy. For all gift senders, he likes ropes and pressed pork bones. Or anything containing beef ;)
* Heather went to a worship conference last weekend at Calvin College. It was fabulous. Any of you pastors or worship leaders out there need to go next year. Keep your eyes open for it - I think it's always the last weekend in January.
* Andrew is hoping to join the Navy and move out by the end of the month.
* Matthew will be spending the month of August in the Netherlands learning dutch. He is thrilled. We're learning to say words. "Hallo! Hoe gaat met jou?"
* Heather wrote a little diddly-bopper on Psalm 103 that she will lead at a worship conference this Saturday.
* Matthew was asked to give devotions for Fuller's Board of Trustees a couple weeks ago. He did great. And he looked hot in his new suit ($25 Nordy suit from Value Village!)
* Henry is learning to balance a treat on his nose and then toss it up in the air and catch it. I'm fairly certain he views us putting treats on his nose as a form of abuse.
I think that's it! Just a taste of some of the little things going on in our lives. We are currently in the midst of mid-terms, which means that this entire blog post has been a big act of procrastination before I try to write a paper on Jonathan Edwards and the Great Awakening. So, back to it I suppose ...

Thanks for the update. We miss you guys and are glad things are going great in CA. Whenever you are up in the Northwest let us know - we'd love to see you again.
Sounds like things are going well for you two (and Henry!). No update is boring--it is always good to hear the details! :)
I HAVE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING FOR THIS!!! Yeah for an update, even if it is 'uneventful' as you say :-) I will mention that perhaps you should consider rewording the part about Henry "throwing it up"... when I first read that bullet point, I was left with a very gross image! So glad you all are doing well & Happy Birthday to Henry oh so soon! Love you all.
