September 2014

We moved into the church parsonage on September and Peter turned 5 in September! He got to start preschool at PCGS, too. I'm glad we waited for him to start preschool until this year. He was ready to start and has done so well. His class is for older 4 year olds and 5 year olds. It meets three mornings each week. He is really loving it!

September was also an exciting month as Brad passed his classical examination and was ordained and installed as a pastor in the CRC. It was the final step in the seminary journey and it was exciting to see the dream fulfilled and his hard work and calling affirmed.

Peter's first day of preschool and our new home's front step - sorry for the crooked picture

Peter got to help drive the excavator that working at church - on his birthday!

Our friends and family gathered for Brad's ordination- we ventured to Red Rock and tossed stones in the water for a while

Group picture on the hike back - you can see it was a hot day as the kids decided to go shirtless

Love birds

So special to have both of our parents here for the weekend

Special men involved in the day: Pastor Paul Hoekstra, Pastor Mark Quist, Brad and Dad (aka Pastor Merle Bierma)

These cousins got "caught" playing in the balcony after church!
