Birth, Birthdays, Death.

First of all, I forgot to include this in our last post -- Zack and Johanna had their baby boy on Wednesday evening, February 25th. Congrats to the newlyweds on their first addition to the family! I don't have his weight and measurements, so feel free to include those as a comment to this post!

Lastly, a friend of ours, Larry, passed away on Sunday in Houghton. Dave and I enjoyed visiting him, his wife Lorraine and their dog Josey for dinner and good conversations. Please pray for Lorraine and the rest of their family. We know you'll be strong Lorraine..we'll miss him too. Rest in peace Larry. We love you.
