It has been way too long!!

Hello, Sorry it has been so long!! 

I haven't written anything in our family blog for the last couple of months.  It has been full of exciting things for our family, and I have just haven't had time to write about it.  I do want to give you updates though......

Chris.... He has been preaching at a few different Churches in the last few months.  He really loves preaching again.  He has been super busy at Holston Gases.  He was given a promotion this year, and he very much deserved one.  He has been working very hard on getting a new warhouse that the company purchased ready for them to work in.  He is working hard, and loves his job.

Jacob... He is finishing up his junior year.  It is so hard to believe that his last year of high school is upon us.  It just seems like yesterday that I was crying while dropping him off on his first day of Kindergarden.  He did get his drivers licence a few months ago.  And I will have to admit that he is a very good driver. 

Jonah... He received an award for receiving a very high scores on his end of the school year testing.  He is finishing up his first year in band, and has really enjoyed playing the trumpet.  He fractured his ankle in February and was out of sports for two months, and did not get to tryout for the baseball team.  It was a very hard time for him, but at least he had band.  He is looking forward to football already because that is the next sport that he plays to begin.

Jonny... He received an award for receiving very high scores on his end of the school year testing.  He had a very good basketball season this year!!  He loves it.   He practices shooting every morning in the driveway while waiting for the bus.  We are in hopes of him playing for U.K. Wildcats one day!!!!!   Jonny also participated in his first Karate tournament and placed first in one division and second in another division.  He is too cute in his uniform!! 

ME.... I started a new small business that I am very excited about.   It is named Ella Dean Design.  I named it after my great grandmother Ella ( And Chis's grandmother's name was Eloise) And Dean is my grandmother's and my mother's middle name.  I wanted to name this company after them because of there strength, creativeness, intelligence, and there eye for good design.  And all of those are what I want this company to be!!  Take a look at my store on Etsy.  www.elladeandesign.etsy.com

Thank you for taking some time out of your day to read a little update of our family.  I will try to keep you updated!!
