Spring 2009

Spring was basically uneventful. I was still working the 2 jobs until mid April when the 13-17 day stretches without a day off were really starting to get to me. Ron was plugging away at work and continuing to get new projects in his department (keeping the threat of layoffs for his department at bay) Becky finished up her 1st semester at BSU and began her nanny job full time for the summer. She is really missing her NMU friends though. Zach wrapped up his indoor soccer season and started an outdoor spring league. Jake has mostly recovered from his broken leg, just still can't fully bend at the ankle causing running to be difficult and stopping his thoughts of returning to soccer. He did keep busy this spring at the bike park, so busy he let his studies slide...with promises of a better year next year...yeah, yeah, yeah...blah, blah, blah...we'll see about that.

We did get some bad news from Michigan this spring. Cancer is having it's way in the Schrieber family. Grandma Schrieber was diagnoses with lung cancer after a bout in the hospital they first thought was pnemonia. Shortly thereafter, Ron's Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He has a good prognosis and we continue to pray God will see him through this and bless us with many more years...he still has a lot to teach these grandsons, a lot more fish to be caught, and many more memories to be made.
