God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Spring Break - Day#1 - Maker's Mark

Our Spring Break trip was delayed because the family got COVID.  Dave and I had what we thought were just allergies.  We were all set to get our first vaccine when I lost my sense of smell.  What I thought was just allergies was in fact Coronavirus.  We never had any fevers or other common symptoms associated with the virus and for that we are very thankful.  We had everyone tested, except Luke. Dave, Lilly and I came back positive and Liam was negative.  

So, once we cleared the 10 days of infection, we left for our trip.  Our first stop was Maker's Mark in Kentucky.  Dave is a huge fan of the beverage and was happy to get a tour, taste some samples, and dip his own bottle.  It was a beautiful day.































We ended the evening at the pool at the hotel.


Luke was living the life in the hotel.

Easter 2021

Like last year, Easter plans got changed.  Because we were sick, we couldn't go to church and stayed in Indiana for Easter.  Denny & Carol brought supper over for us and Grandma Kusch came to visit.  We still hid and found Easter eggs and baskets.
