Dear Family,
Happy Mother’s Day - Thank you for all you do. Moms are one of the many ways we know God loves us. Just as families are critical to God’s plan for us mothers are critical to families. May the Lord continue to bless our moms with everything they need. We love you all. Dad took Mom to the Detroit Institute of Art for lunch and an afternoon of browsing in the wonder world of art. Yesterday, Mom & Dad took Grandma out to Max & Erma’s for a dinner. Today there is a get together with ravioli dinner, salads and desserts after church to celebrate Moms (Grandma Sparks, Toye Steber, Vanessa & Maureen and Mom) complete with canoe rides in the pond and campfire to roast marshmellows for smores.

Employment - Once again we recognize that the Lord has provided for the all needs of all our family members. We are grateful for the blessing of being gainfully employed and for opportunities we have been given in this time of a struggling economy. Thanks to a connection through Jim, Michael was able to obtain a summer internship with Getrag, a German based company that supplies power take off units for automotive all wheel drive systems. It is close to home, 8am-5pm Monday through Friday.
Kulka Konnection - Jim is continuing his quest to find out more about his ancestors. Not only is it interesting, but it is clear to us that they want to be “connected”. Also, Mom’s experience of finding information about her family and the family of her “Greek Grandma” and doing their ordinance work is of no small consequence - there are so many “little miracles” that have caused these connections to be forged. Yes, we all have a testimony of the spirit of Elijah and bask in its light.
Cyber Connections - Mom & Dad enjoyed the video calls with Lara and Rachel on Saturday. It was so good the see and hear and share the “what’s happening” and to see the grandbuddies and absorb their enthusiasm for life. Thursday afternoon, the new media center, end table and couch table arrived from Thomasville. Michael and Dad got the TV, surround sound, DVD player and cable TV reconnected and functional and old furniture moved to the basement.
A Thorized - Mom & Dad enjoyed the movie “Thor” at AMC 30. It was a very action filled legendary fantasy and in the end it was clear who the good guys and bad guys were. Mom said there was too much fighting and Dad said there was too much romance so it was a great balance!?? :-)
Sprung - The weather finally has become much nicer. Dad worked in the yard for a while Saturday morning and Grandma is getting some landscaping done to bring her condo “up to par”. Papa took Jacob, Sophia and Rex canoeing in the pond, where they found a few ducks and a turtle. Many of the neighborhood flowering trees are in full bloom and look absolutely spectacular.
Love y’all,
Mom & Dad
