So much has happened since we last posted.   Here’s just the highlights:

January 2011 we celebrated our 30^th wedding anniversary by taking Cheyenne to Disney World and a cruise to the Bahamas.  We’ve posted pictures!

May 2011 Cheyenne graduated from kindergarten.  Her birthmother and maternal grandmother were in attendance.  Check out the pictures!

June 2011 We celebrated our first Gotcha Day on June 10.  One year ago Cheyenne joined us.  Cheyenne also turned 6 years old in June with a backyard birthday party and a chance to try out her new princess pink fishing pole!  Yes there are pictures!

July 2011 We spent a wonderful time in Denali National Park.  It ended with our family becoming smaller as our beloved Ernie left us and went to heaven.  Cheyenne thinks she is lonely up there without having her to play with!

August 2011 we harvested the last of the amazing crop from our little garden.  See the picture.

October 2011 Bill resigned from pasturing Fairhill Community Church of God in Fairbanks, Alaska.

November 2011 we moved back home to Watervliet Michigan, into Cindy’s brother Ed and his wife Teri’s home.  There eldest daughter Jessica and her 2 year old daughter live there as well.  Their other two daughter are only home when on break from college.  It’s a very active household!

December 2011 our family became “legal” as the adoption of Cheyenne Bridgman was finalized!  Be sure to look at the pictures of our ceremony!

What’s next… only the Lord knows.  We are waiting to see how and where the Lord would use us next.
