Uncle Mark is adjusting beautifully. Grandma Gert is in the rehab/nursing care facility. If she can ever go home, Mark will probably go back. She will need 24/7 care IF she can ever go home. If she can’t, Mark is here to stay, although he will go back to visit. In the meantime, Mark is here getting used to being away from the only home he has lived in for the last 70 years. He was very used to be waited on 24/7, but I told him that since we have so many little people living here, I would really need him to pitch in! Yesterday he cleaned off the counter and wiped it down – without even being asked. I was soooo proud of him!!We have known for many years that we were the only viable option for a place for him to live and seriously friends – we couldn’t be happier. He is family. He fits perfectly. We have lots of fun with him. He has a real cute sense of humor and adores the kids. I know that some of you have been praying for him and the transition, because it has been so easy. (Thank you for your prayers!) Such a treasure – created in the image of Almighty God, we are so thankful that we get to have him live with us.
Such a sweet man! You can just see it on Uncle Mark's face. The picture of DW looking lovingly at his brother is a very emotional picture – so beautiful!
Thanks for the post today. It really made us smile.
Love,
Janet, Kevin, Ted, Philip, and soon to be home Eli
Welcome Home Uncle Mark…Hang on for the ride!!!!!!!

You guys have such HUGE hearts for Jesus…you just share them with everyone! Isn't it a blessing that your new home was finished before Uncle Mark arrived so he didn't have to move twice?
Welcome Uncle Mark!
Somehow… you just gotta wrangle that Tyler home and get Abby & your son-in-love back over there… for a picture that now includes a 3D Jubilee too! 🙂
What a neat thing….have a party. I can see you guys love parties and that's awesome. Mark looks so much like DW. This post just brings a smile to my face. Hugs
How awesome!
So excited to hear such good news. Am assuming the hot water is back. Been praying for all of you lots this week.
I think every day is a party at your house! How can it not be with all those little ones giggling!
What a blessing! I'm sure Mark will love helping out!
What a joy!
Jubilee looks great eating her icecream!

Linny, THANK you for the update! I have been wondering and praying about Uncle Mark. Glad he is settling in well. How very blessed you are to have him…I hope his being with you will be a great joy!

Linny,
Welcome to 'Uncle" Mark! and sooo glad Sarah is there for a while too! Have to admit one of my very favorite kind of parties is an ice cream party. SO…. I ask, hmmm…. did you by chance… have the hot fudge sauce??? (silly me, laughing, yet quite seriously a chocoholic).
I will continue to pray for DW's Mom, and all the transitions in your family. God's Peace Be With you all.
You are instruments spreading His Love!

Welcome to Colorado, Uncle Mark! If you need a Pepsi, walk on down and I'll pour you one! Can't wait to meet you! The Beaches
Looks like so much fun and such happy and loving faces. He looks so loved and welcomed.
What a happy family. Every family should have an Uncle Mark.
Exciting things happening here at home, Linn. God is MOVING. Update soon. For a sneak peak, you can check my blog. Can I link back to you?

Uncle Mark might become your right hand man! Welcome to the excitement!
Just makes you want to pull up a chair and become a part of the family. : )
How happy Uncle Mark looks! And, what a great, God-given idea to have a party of him. He knows how special he is! Always in my prayers, dear sister,
