Just before we left, Crystal and Aaron (Martin) announced their engagement. We are planning a January 2, 2010 wedding. In the photo below they are signing up for a bridal registry at Kohl's. We are back from visiting Julie, Alex and children in Bolivia, South America. We had a nice visit and were introduced to our newest grandchild, Cristian. The Kozel's decided to proceed with adoption while we were there. They have been caring for him the past 7 months since he was released from the hospital (born two months premature). We are delighted to have a grandson in addition to granddaughters Tatiana and Micah. It was very special for us to be there in the judges chambers when they were awarded custody.
Mark is a hard-working guy. He is partial to Ventrac tractors and attachments. He dabbles in small-time farming.
Karen is an idea person who enjoys art, decorating, shopping, antiques, travel, and spending time with friends and family. Chocolate, shoes, and Dr. Pepper are her vices.
Both are active in their church, Dayspring Christian Fellowship. They have three children, two son-in-laws and three grandchildren.
