Mission Call!!

This morning at 7:30 am, our postman called and told us Jen's mission call was here and we could come and get it. We went to the back of the Post Office and got her big white envelope. When we got home, she opened it and while we were messing with the camera, she saw the place. Then she read it - "Minneapolis Minnesota." She was happy to have her call, then she read further and it said "Spanish speaking" and she freaked out! She has always wanted to learn a language. It is a perfect place for her.

The mission covers most of Minnesota, except a small part in the west, about 1/3 of Wisconsin, and up into Ontario, Canada. The first order of business is a passport!

It makes it all seem much more real!

New Arrival


Growing up, Jeff was outnumbered by sisters. He would have loved a brother to play with. Instead he had to settle for G.I. Joe harassing Barbie :). The balance has changed!


Collin Jeffrey Reece was born at 5:49 p.m. today (November 19) weighing 3,525 (7.77 lbs) and is 51 centimeters (20 inches) long. Jeff reports that Kathleen and Collin are doing well. I can hardly wait to hold him!
