family news update

We now have at least two family members that travel for their jobs. Cindy's brother Carl travels often and was able to meet up with Stephen and Leah and the girls in Watertown, WI last month. Then this week he had dinner with Josh and Janelle in Hanover, PA. Our son Brandon also travels for his job. Recently he was in New York City for two days of training. He was able to visit "ground zero" and the New York Stock Exchange(Wall Street). His best friend Ryan happened to be in New Jersey at the same time and they were able to meet at the ESPN ZONE at Times Square to enjoy the Monday Night Football broadcast.

Speaking of traveling, Brandon and his fiance Rachel were able to visit her parents in the country of Uruguay in August. Brandon was able to meet his future in-laws in person. Rachel's parents are missionaries there. They had a great trip even though it was winter down there.

Cindy's brother Sam and his wife Angel had a baby girl in August. Josie Marie was 8lbs, 6 ounces at birth on August 16, 2007.

Our son Stephen and his family recently moved into a brand new apartment in Beaver Dam, WI. They were actually the first family to move into the newest building. They will be closer to their church and his job now.

Our niece April is a senior nursing major at Bob Jones University this year. She just sent this pdf link to the college newspaper. She and her friends are pictured at the bottom of page 5 enjoying their meal at Dr. Stephen Jones' home. That's neat - getting your picture in the
newspaper!

We closed on the sale of our home today in Jacksonville. Brandon and Rachel were able to purchase it. We are thankful that everything has worked out for both of us. We will begin looking for a home in GA hopefully around April or May in 2008 as we are renting a house in Duluth for a year.
