A Personal Update
June 19th, 2008 | by Ed |There has been a number of changes in our family, so I thought I’d give an update on what’s happening.
My daughter Patti is still living in Jersey City and working in NYC at the National Center for Chilren in Poverty. She enjoys the work she does (research, evaluating childcare programs, policy-making, etc.), but she’s considering some possible changes as she looks to the future.
My daughter Nancy, and her husband Richard, have moved from Bloomfield to Franklin Lakes. They’re living in a beautiful garden apartment complex. We don’t see them as much during the week, but Janet’s thrilled that they have a pool in the complex. So maybe we will see them just as much as when they lived in Bloomfield.
My daughter Lori has transferred from Rutgers to Ramapo College. Lori plans to be an English teacher in secondary school, and Ramapo has an excellent program in education. Before atending Rutgers, Lori attended Rider for one year. Rider, Rutgers, Ramapo. It’s amazing how many colleges in NJ begin with the letter R. Lori insists, however, that she’s not planning to attend Rowan the following year.
And then there’s Steven (or, Sven, as his friends from Brookdale Baptist Church know him). Of course, the big change in his life is his beautiful daughter Leah. He celebrated his first Father’s Day last week. He’s really stepped up to be a devoted and loving father. He’s dedicating Leah to the Lord in a service of dedication this Sunday.
Oh, and he’s going on a 10-day missions trip to China in August.
Janet (Grammie) and I (Pop-Pop) are enjoying our grand-daughter, who is like a little ray of sunshine in our lives.
