Hello Friends and Family! Here is a small update on The Berg Family:
Jeff is in the middle of his 5th year as the Director of Youth Ministry and still loves it. We are all extremely excited about the up-and-coming opportunity this February for Jeff to be ordained as a minister, and will take the title as Youth Pastor. There have been many changes in the youth group this year, from hiring new staff, to a complete new vision for Wednesday nights, and things are going really well! His “sweet sixteen” guys that he led for the last four years graduated in May and that was an adjustment for him! It was really neat to watch them grow so much under his discipleship. Jeff completed his Masters in Youth Ministry in May!! So now, when Jeff isn’t working or hanging out with family, he is definitely in front on the TV watching a movie or playing the Wii.
Jackson will be exactly 2 ½ on Christmas Eve. He is all boy, all the time! Although he is really sweet (and dang cute)! His vocabulary has just exploded over the last few months and he is talking all the time. His motor skills continue to impress me, as he can do things I never expected him to be able to do (yet), such as shoot at a target (on the Wii) and hit it consistently all by himself. He really likes playing outside, running, jumping, and climbing. One of his most favorite things is to swing! He’d do it for hours if someone would push him that long! He loves to watch Bob and Larry (VeggieTales) and loves Curious George too! He absolutely loves music: dancing, guitars, drums, just anything. This brings priceless smiles and laughter without fail. His laughter is contagious and he loves to laugh and play with Creighton. They are so fun to watch together and LOVE being with one another!
Creighton turned one this November and is now 13 months. She is such a joy! Her eyes dance and she smiles with big dimples and lots of teeth showing, a lot. Speaking of teeth, she didn’t have any until she was 11 ½ months old and now she has 6. So its been a big teething session for her lately. She is still nursing and we both are really enjoying that time together. She was walking early and is now pretty much keeping up with Jackson all the time. They love to climb and play together outside. She is full of energy and lots of laughter herself. She doesn’t say many words yet, but she says “dada” and “mama” all the time. She gives great kisses, which is one of her favorite things to do. She plays with her baby dolls and tries to steal whatever Jackson is playing with. She LOVES to dance. Usually there doesn’t even need to be music playing and she’s dancing, but if there is music: watch out! J
Courtney loves being a wife and a mommy. My family is the joy of my heart! This fall I coached the freshmen team at BHS and it went well. It was a good thing for me to ease back into something small (and something I love). I was able to build some neat relationships with my girls, which didn’t end with the season, and that is the greatest things of it all. I am leading a small group of 11th grade girls for Nikao and I love them! It has been so good to get back into that. My heart is there for sure and I love the relationships I am able to make and build upon within that setting!
We hope that all of you have had a great year. Have a blessed 2008 and Merry Christmas!!
Love,
