2015 Update

2015 was a big year for us. We started out the year with Aimee having left a great, secure job that she loved to follow the Lord’s leading without knowing where that would take us. Marshall was self-employed and we lived in Prairie Village.

We ended the year with Aimee having launched a new foundation, Marshall working full time in architecture, and the family living in Lenexa.

Here are some highlights of the in-between time:

• The ROYALS!
• Marshall and Andy camped at Stockton Lake in April
• Andy had his first season of team soccer. He thrived at the positions of goalie and mid-fielder
• Marshall joined Aimee for a work trip to San Francisco in May
• We were very fortunate to take two trips to Darrin and Jill’s fabulous house at Beaver Lake
• The family took a fun trip to the Flint Hills where we hiked, rode horses, and enjoyed doing chores on the ranch.
• Liam finally got to go camping with the boys at Shalom

Reagan started preschool at the same school Andy attended and where Liam now goes. She was not so sure about it at first. In fact, she proclaimed every single day for over a month, “I’m not going to school today.” But she’s a trooper and has finally found her groove, making friends and learning to glue.

Liam LOVES school too. He loves to read, create pictures, and don superhero costumes. He hopes to be a ninja or a knight when he grows up. I guess he’s living up to his name’s meaning, “Strong Protector”. He and Reagan are best buds and spend most of their time playing together when they’re not fighting.

Andy enjoys second grade. Math is his favorite along with recess and PE. As long as the weather is remotely passable, he’s outside playing in the neighborhood with some of the 8 kids his age who live on our block. He’s a sweet big brother unless he’s feeling feisty and picking on his siblings. Andy wants to be an engineer or builder when he grows up.

Marshall and Aimee are doing well. Work is busy. Aimee loves her new venture and things are going well. See her website for a full update: Impactfoundation.org. Marshall is working on the Atlanta Falcons project for HOK (see pics here). He is especially grateful for the great people he works with everyday. The giant crane pictured below is helping construction go faster in Atlanta.
