Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas!

 From the Dykstra / Wynia Family

Michael moved a mile down the road from us.  

Expanded the hog business.  Mark and Matt have expanded by purchasing the hog buildings from our sister-in-law, Donna.  They now have a hired man.

Remodeling a house is what Matt and Jena are doing on one of the acreages they purchased.  They look forward to moving early in the year.  Mason, Avery and Emery look forward to being on the same farmyard where Daddy often works. 

Rock Rapids is where Philip and Sam moved to a house closer to where Sam works at a waiver home helping people with disabilities.   They are enjoying the extra space in their new home.

Yields were surprisingly good after the long drought.

Christian Retirement Home is where Katie is working in the dining room.  Mark's mother lives there, so she gets to see Grandma Dykstra often.  

Holiday Inn Express is where Chris is still working.  

Rendering plant is where Michael is now working.

Inwood is where Madison and Lanette moved.  They are now living in the house where Lanette grew up.  

School is where our oldest grandchild, Mason, is going.  He began preschool at Sheldon Christian School.  

Twins!  We have twin grandbabies.  In July Miley and Maverick were born to Madison and Lanette. They are healthy and growing. They joined Logan who was 19 months old when they were born. It is a busy household!

Mission trip to Texas.  Mark and Katie made their yearly trip again.  They find it to be a huge blessing. 

Abundant love and joy is what we receive spending time with our six grandchildren. 

Seventeen!  Katie is now seventeen and a junior at Unity Christian High school.  Where did the time go?

Wishing You a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!
